China Entertainment: I became a capital tycoon

Chapter 776 774. Whether it is a demon or a fairy, it is up to you to decide!
The animation "Nezha's Brain" is an unforgettable memory of countless people's childhood.

The story of Nezha cutting off his flesh to return to his father and cutting off his bones to return to his mother is also a very famous story in Chinese mythology.

Although "Nezha: The Devil Child Comes into the World" also underwent several rounds of publicity before its release, the image of Nezha in the trailer, who looks a bit ruffian, still subverted many people's inherent impressions.

Some professionals and so-called film and television experts in the film and television circles believe that Nezha, who has such a subversive image, will achieve high box office?

This is also the reason why the company that produced "Monster Hunt" wanted to challenge "Ne Zha".

Even so, some people still believe that this film is produced by Feiyu Entertainment after all. No matter how bad it is, with the influence of Boss Cao, it should still have a box office of over a billion.

After all, Feiyu’s previous animated film “Big Fish and Begonia” did not perform very well.

But the audience who supported Boss Cao scoffed at the analysis of these experts.

Although there are no particularly classic lines in the promotional video, Nezha's appearance is still quite likable.

July 30th, Thursday.

The animation "Ne Zha" will be released in China, South Korea, Japan and other countries at dawn tomorrow.

Cao Yu has also made sufficient preparations for this movie, just to let the world see that Chinese animation has truly risen!

"Chaoyue, Zu'e, you guys should post photos of yourselves like this on Douyin and Weibo tomorrow."

Feiyu Entertainment, Cao Yu was very satisfied when he saw the Nezha buns worn by Song Zue and Yang Chaoyue. With the promotion by these two, a trend of COSPLAY Nezha will soon emerge in China.

"Godfather, that Nezha looks bad, but we look so cute, is it really okay?"

Song Zu'e glanced at the photos of himself holding the plastic lance prop on the computer and didn't understand why Cao Yu insisted on doing this.

"You're right to listen to me. Go and shoot a short video later and sing the song 'It's him, it's him, it's him, our friend, Little Nezha.'"

However, Cao Yu felt that photos alone were not enough. He looked the two girls up and down and made new requests.

"Ok."

Song Zue, who once played the role of Little Nezha, had no objection to this funny request, but she also made her own request: "Then can you accompany me to watch this movie tonight?"

"Go on your own."

Although many directors or producers would secretly go to theaters to watch the audience's reactions when their films are released, Cao Yu does not think it is necessary for him to do so.

It is inevitable that the movie will be a hit tomorrow, so you might as well go home and sleep.

"It's so difficult for me to increase the box office of your movie."

Song Zu'e pulled Yang Chaoyue and said, "Let's go shoot a video first, and then go to the movies together. We are both so beautiful, maybe someone will hit on us."

"Forget it, you should just come to my house and have a look."

Hearing this, Cao Yu remembered that it was indeed not safe to watch the midnight premiere with two girls.

Hearing that his godfather cared about him, Song Zue secretly laughed in his heart, but still said: "We just want to go to the cinema."

Cao Yu raised his hand and slapped the little girl on the butt: "Where are you going? Go and shoot the video!"

"You only know how to beat people up!"

Although Song Zu'e was beaten, she gave Cao Yu a wink, and then left happily with Yang Chaoyue.

It feels very comfortable when my godfather beats me.

But this godfather who loves to spank people, when will he let me be his real little cotton-padded jacket?
After leaving the house, Yang Chaoyue said enviously: "Zu E, you have a really good relationship with the boss."

"Of course."

Song Zu'e just raised his head proudly, and then he felt that the girl's tone was wrong, and immediately said: "Chaoyue, you don't like my godfather too?"

Yang Chaoyue was embarrassed to admit: "I didn't, I just felt grateful to him."

"It's better not to. My godfather is a playboy. He has many women around him. He will be sad if you like him."

"Oh."

Yang Chaoyue nodded pretending to listen to the advice, but secretly thought: "You are a dishonest little girl, so you said this on purpose. Are you afraid that I will compete with you? I don't believe you."

Cao Yu waited until the two men left before shaking his head.

The feel is getting better and better, it seems that this little Nezha has really grown up.

After admiring the photos of the two people with buns, Cao Yu called Japan and South Korea.

Not long after, photos of Krystal Jung and Park Ji-yeon from South Korea and Kanna Hashimoto and Minami Hamabe from Japan dressed as Nezha were also sent over.

With these four beauties promoting the film, the box office of "Ne Zha" in these two countries will definitely be good.

……

Boss Cao doesn't care about the premiere of his movie, but someone else does.

Xu Chengyi, the director of "Monster Hunt", which has been doing very well at the box office recently, couldn't sleep at all tonight. He really wanted to see how his competitor's movie was doing.

Late at night, Xu Chengyi drove to a Wanda cinema.

Although it was already past eleven o'clock in the evening, the theater was still full of people watching movies because the summer night was relatively cool.

"Are there really so many people? I wonder which movie they are all watching."

Out of curiosity, Xu Chengyi pretended to watch the time of various movies at the ticket office, but in fact he wanted to know which movie ticket was the best.

On the LED screen, information about the latest movies scrolls back and forth.

Among them, Feiyu's "Ne Zha" has the most screenings, which seems to be over 50%.

"Monster Hunt" only accounted for about 30%, and the rest was divided among other movies.

“Why is our screening schedule only over 30%?”

Xu Chengyi was a little angry at first, but when he heard the voices around him, he understood why there was such a big difference in the number of screenings.

"Hello, two tickets for the first show of Necromancer at midnight."

"Four tickets for Necromancer, thank you."

“Two copies of ‘Ne Zha’.”

It turned out that the audience who watched the movie in the middle of the night were all there for "Ne Zha", and not a single ticket for "Monster Hunt" was sold.

He didn't dare to wait any longer and hurried over to queue up to buy tickets. When it was his turn, there was only a seat in the corner left.

I took the movie ticket and went to the screening room, only to find that it was almost full.

Seeing this situation, Xu Chengyi really envied Boss Cao's appeal. The midnight show was so popular, what would happen during the day?
He now only hopes that the quality of the movie is not as good as advertised, otherwise the box office of "Monster Hunt" will probably be cut in half.

Soon, when it was almost midnight, the lights in the theater dimmed and an advertisement played on the big screen.

The advertisement is a promotional video for "Captain America 3", and it is also a film shot by Boss Cao in the United States.

This summer vacation seems to be dominated by the films produced by Cao Yu’s company.

After the advertisement and the dragon logo, the movie "Ne Zha" officially kicked off on the big screen.

"Nezha is a story that everyone is familiar with. I wonder if Mr. Cao can make this film into a good one."

Out of curiosity, a sea of ​​clouds appeared on the screen, and a narration began to introduce the background of the story.

"The spiritual energy of heaven and earth has gone through thousands of years, giving birth to a Hunyuan Pearl. It greedily absorbs the essence of the sun and the moon, and its power has not only increased."

Judging from the picture, it is very exquisitely made.

But the voice of the narrator is a bit strange.
It doesn't seem to be the standard announcer's voice. It actually has a weird accent, as if he's biting his tongue?
"But the spiritual energy he absorbed was too mixed, with immortal energy and demonic energy intertwined, and it couldn't distinguish between good and evil. Master sent me to subdue him."

With the sound, a fat man riding a pig appeared on the screen.

"Ha ha."

The cute little pig immediately brought some laughter to some places in the cinema.

“Is this a comedy?”

Xu Chengyi was very puzzled, how could Nezha be made into a comedy?

But he recalled that Feiyu Entertainment's previous hit movies, "Charlotte's Troubles", "If You Are the One", "Detective Chinatown", etc., were all comedies. He seemed to understand that Cao Yu was planning to take an unconventional path.

"This is me, the Taiyi Zhenren admired by everyone."

When the fat man riding the pig introduced himself, there was more laughter in the theater.

Is this Taiyi Zhenren?

Isn’t this too subversive?
A deity looks like this? And rides a pig?

Xu Chengyi almost wanted to laugh.

"Hunyuanzhu, come to your uncle."

"Oh!"

When Hunyuanzhu knocked the funny Taiyi Zhenren away with one punch, he could be sure that this was definitely a comedy.

How much box office revenue can a comedy animation earn?
"Keep looking."

However, Xu Chengyi himself was also attracted by the movie which was quite interesting from the beginning.

Next, the battle between Shen Gongbao and Hunyuanzhu looked very cool in the cinema, not inferior to Japanese movies at all.

And compared to the previous "The Return of the Great Sage", it seems to be even better.

"Don't hit my face."

When the Hunyuan Pearl beat the funny Taiyi Zhenren into a pig's head, everyone in the cinema laughed.

"It's over. Children will definitely like to watch this kind of movie."

At this time, Xu Chengyi already had some bad premonitions.

"Monster Hunt" is also a comedy, but compared to the first few minutes, "Ne Zha" is better.

The early foreshadowing explained the origin of the "devil child".

"I am Taiyi Zhen from Jinguan Cave in Qianyuan Mountain. Bang!"

In a temple, Taiyi Zhenren was introducing himself to Li Jing and his wife when a stone hit him on the head.

In the cinema, laughter broke out in several screening rooms at the same time.
Nezha is finally giving birth.

"What are you waiting for?"

“I can’t remember my password.”

"Hahaha"

But Nezha, who was supposed to be the incarnation of the spirit pearl, turned out to be an evil spirit.

However, the scene of the Devil Boy coming into the world is really cool.

Next, the devil boy went berserk and calmed down under his mother's love, but the audience's hearts were aroused and they wanted to know what would happen next.

Next, the cute and stuttering villain Shen Gongbao and Ao Bing, the third prince of the Dragon King who was killed by Nezha, began to appear.

The screening room gradually became quiet.

"I've been locked up in the mansion with nothing to do. I've been climbing over walls, smashing tiles, and throwing bottles and jars. I've been doing this thousands of times. I'm really tired."

As soon as this poem came out, all the fans in the originally quiet theater immediately perked up, wanting to see what the grown-up Nezha looks like.

What a good poem! From this doggerel, we can tell that this little Nezha is quite cute.

However, when Nezha with dark circles under his eyes appeared, everyone was happy again.

Boss Cao is really good at designing little Nezha like this. He is so talented.

However, it fits the story very well.

"You must be joking. You're wearing armor while playing with your son! Can kicking shuttlecock kill someone?"

As soon as Nezha's mother finished saying this, she was hit by a shuttlecock and embedded in the wall.

so awkward.
There was no hilarious moment this time, but everyone still smiled knowingly.

Good, this movie is really good.

All the audience were impressed that it was amazing that Boss Cao could write such a subversive, warm and humorous story.

"Hey"

Xu Chengyi sighed silently, he didn't know what to say.

By tomorrow, we still don’t know how “Monster Hunt” will perform.

……

At this time, not only in Chinese movie theaters, there was constant laughter, but also in movie theaters in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, South Korea and other places, all the audiences were also laughing.

At Boss Cao's house, Cao Yu was leaning on the sofa in his private cinema, watching "Ne Zha" with Song Zu'e and Yang Chaoyue.

Although he had seen this movie several times, he still wanted to laugh when he watched it again.

"Godfather, this little Nezha is so cute"

Song Zu'e lay in Cao Yu's arms, and raised his little head when he saw something happy.

Cao Yu smiled and said, "Not as cute as you were in The Legend of the White Snake."

"Godfather is still the best."

Song Zu'e happily kissed Cao Yu again and said with a smile: "But why did you design Taiyi Zhenren like this?"

"Is it not good?"

"It's a bit like the Jade Ding Zhenren in The Legend of the Lotus Lantern. They're both quite interesting. But why does he ride a pig?"

"You'll know later."

Cao Yu had no intention of giving away any spoilers, so he hugged Song Zue's delicate body and continued watching the movie.

Seeing the close relationship between the two, Yang Chaoyue, who was standing by, almost got goose bumps.

They are indeed godfather and goddaughter, huh!

But she didn't know whether the "humph" in her heart was contempt or envy.

As the movie goes on, people see that although Nezha, the reincarnation of an evil spirit, is naughty, he actually longs for companionship and is no different from an ordinary child.

Although he likes to play pranks, he never actually causes harm to anyone.

Instead, it was the villagers who often hurt him.

Mainly, the little guy is really cute.

When Nezha was sucked into the map of mountains, rivers, and the country, the scene shocked all the audience.

"so beautiful!"

Seeing this, Song Zu'e and Yang Chaoyue couldn't help but marvel at the special effects of the movie.

Cao Yu smiled gently. If the two little girls liked it so much, wouldn't the other people watching the movie be stunned?

If the box office doesn’t explode, I’d be letting the audience down.

I just don’t know if the final box office can exceed 2 billion and catch up with "Wolf Warrior ".

The whole cinema was laughing like crazy when they saw Nezha learn the art of transformation, teasing Taiyi Zhenren, making the fat man kiss a toad and getting poisoned.

But when they saw that Nezha was misunderstood by the villagers for saving a little girl, everyone was outraged.

Even Song Zu'e waved his little fist and said, "These villagers are so abominable!"

"Yeah! Damn it!"

Yang Chaoyue also nodded angrily, making a puffy and cute expression.

She remembered that when she was taking pictures of Nezha yesterday, her boss asked her to put her hands on her hips and stare at the camera angrily. It turned out that it was because of this.

This movie written by the boss is really great.

Yang Chaoyue secretly glanced at Cao Yu and Song Zue, and really wanted to drive the latter away and lie in the boss's arms.

Unfortunately, she doesn't dare now.

"I am a little monster, free and easy, I kill without blinking an eye, eat people without adding salt, eat eight in one breath, my stomach is about to burst the toilet, I have to poop, and then I remember I forgot to bring toilet paper."

Soon, another jingle came out.

Although everyone found it funny, they were also angry about Nezha being treated unfairly.

"Godfather, how about I pretend like this tomorrow and shoot a video of this jingle and put it on Douyin. It will definitely get some views."

"It's not polite for a girl to say that."

Cao Yu smiled and said, "But you can learn the following words."

"Your life is full of tears. If you don't die, you will suffer. The more you struggle, the more unlucky you will be. The more you pursue, the more miserable you will be. Aren't you tired of struggling to death? You might as well collapse on the bed and sleep."

After hearing this jingle from the movie, Song Zue laughed and said, "Father, the lines you wrote are full of jingles. Do you want to take the postgraduate entrance examination?"

“I’m a graduate student.”

As soon as Cao Yu finished speaking, the little girl leaned close to Cao Yu's ear and said, "Do you want to raise a child? Then let's study together."

"Snapped!"

Cao Yu couldn't help but slap the girl. How old are you? What's in your head?

"Just beat me."

Song Zu'e said something coquettishly, but she hugged Cao Yu tightly and continued watching the movie.

If we don’t study it now, we will have to study it together sooner or later.

……

In the cinema, as Nezha's life story was revealed by Shen Gongbao, he turned into a demon child and almost killed Li Jing. The story is about to reach its climax.

All the audience were completely attracted by this wonderful animated film.

When Nezha learned from the replay of the pig's nose that his father would rather experience the heavenly tribulation for his sake, he finally changed.

Li Jing's words: "He is my son" made many audiences in the cinema cry.

Next, Mo Tong and Ling Zhu exchanged identities, one wanted to save Chentang Pass and the other wanted to destroy Chentang Pass, and a great battle broke out.

Nezha used the magic of transformation to turn into Shen Gongbao and gave Ao Bing a Thousand Year Killing, which made the audience laugh again.

"It's incomparable. This is a good movie. I am attracted to it."

Xu Chengyi smiled for a while, with a hint of bitterness on his face. He didn't even have to think about it, as the box office of "Monster Hunt" probably wouldn't increase much.

It’s ridiculous that my boss and I were still thinking about how to defeat “Ne Zha”?
Now it seems like complete wishful thinking.

Boss Cao's dominance in the film market is indeed unshakable.

In Xu Chengyi's opinion, the box office of this animated film, if nothing unexpected happens, will be at least over 2 billion.

Especially when Nezha finally turned into a demon boy, pushed the ice cap up to the sky, and finally turned it into rain, the audience in the entire cinema was excited.

It's so showy!
So burning!
I’m so touched. This Nezha is so sensible that it makes people feel distressed!

Just when Nezha pointed a gun at a dragon's eyes, the entire cinema burst into cheers and applause.

This phenomenon is not just happening in one cinema, but in all cinemas across the country.

“I am convinced.”

Xu Chengyi uttered the last words, stood up and wanted to leave, but hesitated for a moment, wanting to see the ending.

In Cao Yu's private cinema, Song Zue was already jumping up and down with excitement.

"So cool! So beautiful!"

Having said that, she couldn't wait until dawn, so she posted the photo of Nezha that she had taken during the day, and added a caption.

"Ne Zha" is so good!
Whether it is a demon or a fairy, it is up to you to decide!
But Yang Chaoyue was not in a hurry to post it because she had already cried after reading it.
