China Entertainment: I became a capital tycoon

Chapter 786. The first batch of female anchors of Hanbang Douyin
As the last month of 2015 is approaching and the weather is getting colder, the New Year atmosphere is beginning to grow stronger.

At the end of November, Girls' Generation's last farewell concert was also held in Seoul.

This group, which carried the youth and memories of countless people, became history after this concert.

But they still left a significant mark in the development of Korean Wave.

The nine girls in the group will bid farewell to their idol careers and start a new life.

None of them left FNC Entertainment, which brought them to glory, and their man Cao Yu.

Among the nine people, Yoona Lim transformed into an actress, Choi Sulli and Seo Ju-hyun furthered their studies in music and will work as music teachers at FNC in the future.

The others serve as instructors for FNC trainees.

During Girls' Generation's last concert, Cho Yu also went to Seoul to cheer for the girls.

At the concert, all of Girls' Generation's fans cried and shouted for them to come back.

But the girls know that only after retiring can they give birth to children for their beloved OPPA.

Of course, Cao Yu has something more important to do this time, which is to plan to do Douyin live broadcast in South Korea first to prepare for the future sales of goods.

FNC Entertainment is the largest entertainment company in South Korea. It has big chaebols like Samsung, emerging chaebols like Buwoo Group, and the Ministry of Culture and Sports as its backing. It has more than 500 male and female trainees.

These were all picked out from thousands of Koreans, and almost all of them are the most outstanding beauties and handsome men.

With long-term practice, they became the first group of anchors to do live broadcasts on Douyin, so the traffic is definitely guaranteed.

In the lounge of the president's office, Cao Yu leaned against the head of the bed, holding a tablet in his hand, looking at the information of the company's trainees, intending to pick out some trainees who are suitable for live streaming.

"OPPA, what are you looking at these girls' profiles for? Don't you have enough women?"

Lin Yoona and Choi Sulli, one on each side, snuggled up to Cao Yu, and were a little worried when they saw him staring at the computer.

The girls' information on the tablet is very detailed, including their measurements, height, strengths and weaknesses, as well as their dancing and singing skills.

"Your birth rate in Korea and Korea has been so low in recent years. I plan to work hard to see if I can contribute to raising the birth rate."

Cao Yu joked while browsing the girl's profile.

"OPPA, you are so romantic. You have us sisters and those sisters from T-ARA. Isn't that enough?"

Cui Xueli immediately became unhappy and said in a disgusted voice: "Besides, how many children can you have? What if your waist is exhausted, what will happen to us sisters?"

Lin Yuner also echoed: "That's right."

"Just teasing you guys."

Cao Yu smiled and said, "I plan to do a live broadcast on Douyin, and I'm selecting a host first."

"OPPA, you just like to make us angry."

Cui Xueli finally felt relieved. She lay in the man's arms, touching her belly, wondering if she could get pregnant this time.

Originally, according to Cao Yu's idea, he wanted Choi Sulli, the peach on earth, to be an actress, but she had no interest at all and just wanted to quietly help her beloved man give birth to a baby.

Lin Yuner said, "OPPA, when are you going to audition for the company's new TV series? I can prepare in advance."

The TV series she was talking about is the costume idol drama "Moonlight Drawn by Clouds" which FNC has been preparing for a long time.

Originally, this drama was to be filmed this year, but the company's other drama "Reply 1988" was too popular that year, so this costume drama was shelved until now.

"Reply 1988" is a great drama that is in no way inferior to "My Love from the Star".

Although the actors in the play are not very good-looking, there are no extreme joys or sorrows in the characters, and there are no strong plots or reversals.

However, this drama, with its five ordinary stories of family love and the little trivialities that happen casually, allows the audience to truly feel the warmth and kindness given by their loved ones.

In 2015, when the Internet was well developed, the drama had a viewership rate of over 20%.

After being introduced to China, it was broadcast on Feie Video. Although it only had twenty episodes, the number of views exceeded 9.7 billion, and the Douban score was even as high as .

You know, the rating of the 86 version of "Journey to the West" was also 9.7.

Although some of the people who gave the ratings are Korea-lovers, this drama is still really good.

The success of this drama, together with the movie "Parasite", once again established FNC Entertainment's position in the Korean film and television industry.

Of course, this year not only was this drama popular in South Korea, but the Chinese TV series "Nirvana in Fire" was also extremely popular in South Korea and South Korea.

This drama imported from China achieved a viewership rating of 27%, which is higher than the previous "The Legend of Zhen Huan".

Therefore, in this situation, the costume drama "Moonlight Drawn by Clouds", which is about to start casting, is still attracting attention from all walks of life, even though it is a drama adapted from an online novel.

When Cao Yu heard that Lin Yuner wanted to act in this drama, he smiled and said, "I can only stay in Seoul for ten days this time. The audition will be the day after tomorrow."

After he finished speaking, he looked at the girl carefully and said with a smile: "Have you read the script? I think the second and third female roles in this play are suitable for you."

"Female second or third? What about female first? Is Oppa going to give it to Kim Ji Won? Or Jung Soo Jung?"

Since she has transformed from an idol to an actress, of course Yoona wants to play the leading female role.

Although she knew that the president had many women, there were only two of them that she mentioned who could play the leading female role in such a popular drama.

As for the others, they are either too old or too young, and their acting skills are not up to par.

"neither."

Cao Yu already had a candidate for the female lead in his mind.

"Who?"

"We'll know when the time comes."

"Could it be that girl Zhou Ziyu?"

"of course not."

"Tell me."

Lin Yoona was really curious and wanted to know the candidate the president had in mind.

"Ok."

Cao Yu was pestered by the spoiled girl and had no choice but to say, "It's Jin Yuzhen, but don't spread it, otherwise it will affect the audition."

"is her?"

Lim Yoona knew Kim Yoo Jung, who was one of the few girls who joined the company directly as an actress.

The main reason is that Kim Yoo-jung is really good-looking, especially her role as Xiao Yanyu in "The Moon Embracing the Sun", which was full of spirit and left a deep impression on the audience. Her popularity even exceeds that of Han Ga-in.

Hearing Kim Yoo Jung's name, Lin Yuner and Cui Xueli said in unison: "Is she also your woman?"

"Cough cough."

Cao Yu was choked by the two girls' thoughts and coughed twice: "Is this how I am in your hearts?"

"um, yes."

Lin Yuner and the other person nodded heavily.

"Are you looking for a fight? I'm a good person."

Cao Yu pretended to be angry and was about to teach these two naughty girls a lesson.

“We are telling the truth.”

The two girls immediately ran away while continuing to kill.

But he was soon caught, and was severely spanked and scolded by the boss.

After the three of them fell on the bed breathlessly, Cao Yu said, "Kim Yoo Jung is cute, but I just think her acting is great, so don't say anything."

"We won't talk about it anymore, but... Hehe, OPPA, I hope you keep your word this time and don't have any ideas about hitting on her."

Although her man denied it again and again, Lin Yuna could hear that he admired Kim Yoo Jung very much.

If it was just admiration, that would be fine, but if there were any other thoughts, Kim Yoo-jung probably wouldn't be able to escape.

Few women can resist the president's charm.

Cao Yu’s visit to Korea this time is time-sensitive and has a heavy workload.

In addition to business, the girls here also have to be treated equally, so in the next few days, we slept in different places almost every night.

Today, Im Yoona, Choi Sulli, tomorrow, Kwon Yuri, Seohyun…

After comforting them, there are also Song Hye Kyo, Jun Ji Hyun, Krystal Jung, Kim Ji Soo, etc., as well as T-ARA. Boss Cao has been working hard these days.

In addition, he has to go to Fu Yu Group and Lee Boo Jin to work during the day, and he has lost weight.

Now all the technical issues regarding the live broadcast function of the Korean version of Tok Tik have been resolved and it will be fully launched after New Year’s Day.

Feiyu World Tower, the tallest building in South Korea, has also entered the final stage of decoration and will be put into use next year.

On the first day of December, the actor auditions for the costume drama "Moonlight Drawn by Clouds", a joint production of FNC and KBS TV stations, were held on time at the Shilla Hotel.

Shilla Hotel is a subsidiary of Fu Yu Group. Boss Cao did this to advertise the hotel.

Because it is a drama produced by First Entertainment Company and First Television Station, there are a lot of people who come to audition.

In the room where the actors were getting ready, Lim Yoona, Krystal Jung, Bae Ji Soo, Kim Ji Won, Kim Yoo Jung and other FNC members were all there.

"Yoona, even though Girls' Generation has disbanded, your farewell concert was extremely successful. You are the most popular. You should be the heroine of this drama, right?"

Krystal Jung and Yoona Lim have a good relationship. The two chatted while reading the script.

The movie "Snow White" starring the former was not released until Christmas, so it is not as popular as the latter.

Lin Yuner looked at Jin Yuzhen not far away, and then smiled and said, "I can't play the female lead. I'm here to audition for the second female lead this time."

"No way?"

Zheng Xiujing didn't want to compete with Lin Yuner. After all, they had met each other frankly several times when they were together with Cao Yu. Her goal was also the second female lead, but she didn't expect that they would bump into each other.

But she still noticed Lin Yuner's gaze and said in surprise: "Could it be that the president wants to..."

"shush"

Lin Yoona quickly stopped her, fearing that the girl would accidentally say it out loud.

Bae Suzy and Kim Ji-won were once teammates with Krystal Jung. When they heard Krystal Jung's conversation, they came over and asked, "What did you just say? What's wrong with the president?"

"nothing."

Krystal Jung didn't know what to say, so she asked her two friends, "What roles are you going to audition for today?"

"I want to try the female lead role."

Bae Suzy is quite confident about her acting skills and appearance, especially since the female lead in the script appears in male disguise at the beginning.

Bae Suzy looks really good in men's clothing, and she feels she has a chance to get the role.

Although Kim Ji-won has acted in "Parasite", he knows that there is a gap between him and the female lead, so he said with a smile: "I want to try the third female role."

Krystal Jung recalled that the chairman had noticed this girl when Kim Yoo Jung was still young.

The little girl has grown up now, with big eyes, a small nose, a small mouth, and a round oval face. She is very cute and seems to be the type that the boss likes.

She glanced at Kim Yoo Jung again and said to her friend, "I don't think Ji Won's role as the third female lead will be a big problem, but Suzy should choose another role."

"why?"

"Listen to me, that's right."

Krystal felt that her guess was correct; the chairman must have taken a fancy to Kim Yoo Jung.

If that's the case, then others definitely won't stand a chance.

A few people were talking here, leaving a little girl named Kim Yoo-jung aside.

It seemed like a few of them who debuted in a girl group were talking about the female lead and they looked in my direction from time to time.

Could it be that the president has already chosen me as the leading female role?
Although she also wanted to get the leading female role, the competition was so fierce today that she couldn't guarantee success.

But if it was the president who spoke, it would be different.

But why did the president do this? Lin Yuner and Zheng Xiujing's acting skills are not bad at all.
Mainly, Yoona's popularity this year is really high.

Soon, the auditions began.

"Hello, President Cho, hello to all the seniors and teachers, my name is Kim So-hyun."

"Hello, President, hello, seniors, hello, teachers, my name is Li Yingyou."

"My name is Han Hyo Joo"

"My name is Chae Soo-bin."

……

There are a lot of actors coming to audition today, especially actresses. Each of them has representative works and their looks and features are also very outstanding.

But in the end, Chairman Cho gave the leading female role to Kim Yoo-jung.

The second female role was given to Im Yoona, and the third female role was given to Kim Ji-won.

Cao Yu gave them these two roles because they both plan to become actors in the future.

The remaining roles are given to artists from other companies.

"Is it really me?"

Kim Yoo-jung never thought that she would actually be the leading female role.

Could it be that the president had some idea about him? Otherwise, how did Lin Yuner and the others know in advance?

If you really have an idea
Jin Yuzhen suddenly didn't know how to respond.

On that day, there were rumors within FNC that the chairman valued Kim Yoo-jung very much.

Over the next few days, the little girl was a little nervous.

On the one hand, she is worried that the president will harass her and take advantage of her, but on the other hand, she is also looking forward to the president pursuing her.

The president is handsome and rich, and is recognized as the prince charming in the company.

If it is just an unspoken rule, Kim Yoo Jung plans to refuse as much as possible, but she wants to pursue her own
You can try to agree.

Unfortunately, the president seemed to be very busy in the next few days.

"After the Chinese New Year, the variety show "King of Masked Singer" can start bidding for cooperating TV stations."

In the conference room, Cao Yu was holding a meeting with employees to arrange work for next year.

"The King of Masked Singer" was very successful in China this year. With this precedent, they have an advantage when negotiating terms with the TV stations and can get more share of the profits.

"Next year, Scarlet Heart can be adapted into a Korean drama, with IU and Krystal Jung playing the leading and second female roles."

"Arrange another concert tour for T-ARA and the others."

“Continue to discover good TV series and movie scripts”

He doesn't know whether there will be a restriction on Korea next year or whether there will be an SD incident.

However, this has no impact on Cao Yu. What he needs to do now is to deliver more good Chinese dramas to Korea.

Instead of importing Korean dramas into China.

If there is a SD incident, he will call on FNC artists to boycott together.

Although they know that boycotting their godfather is useless, it is still possible to intensify the conflict and increase their own popularity.

After arranging the matter, Cao Yu asked, "Do you have anything else to say?"

"President, BLACKPINK has been gaining popularity recently. T-ARA and F(x) are also good girl groups, but the company has trained a lot of trainees. Why don't we set up a boy-girl group?"

Lee Soo Man said: "Girls' Generation disbanded, and JYP saw the opportunity to launch TWICE, and is also expanding the recruitment of trainees, so I think they definitely want to grab our market share."

"Okay, you decide this."

Cao Yu has no objection to forming another girl group.

At the entertainment company, he just spends time with his women and focuses his work mainly on Fu Yu Group.

Becoming a chaebol is the most important thing.

He asked, “Any other questions?”

Seeing everyone shaking their heads, Cao Yu took out a list and said, "This is a group of girls I've picked out. I plan to train them to be Tok Tik anchors. President Li, do you have any questions?"

Lee Soo Man took the list and was stunned when he saw the first name: "Chairman, isn't it a bit of a waste to let this Lisa be the anchor?"

"A waste? She's average looking, but her figure is okay. I think she'd be great as a dance host."

Although Cao Yu couldn't appreciate LISA's looks, since this woman was good at dancing, she was perfect for being a host.

Li Xiuman said anxiously: "President, I plan to let Lisa take the lead in the new girl group I plan. If she is the anchor."

"it is a pity?"

Cao Yu smiled and said: "Tok Tik now has more than 30 million users. This will be the largest market in the future."

After that, without giving Lee Soo Man a chance to object, he stood up and said, "The people on the list, please inform them that tomorrow Fu Yu Group will have a course on how to live broadcast and attract fans. Ask them to attend on time."

After that, leave directly.

After arranging the live broadcast, he will return to China in two days to attend the opening ceremony of "Red Ling" and take his daughter to see it.

Seeing the chairman leave like this, Lee Soo-man stared at the list blankly, feeling a sense of regret.

He had heard of a girl named LISA before FNC was incorporated into YG Entertainment.

When this woman became a trainee under the company, he also discovered that LISA did have many advantages.

For example, she has a good figure, is a good dancer, looks good after putting on makeup, and is very hardworking, so she wants to form another girl group.

Unexpectedly, this plan would fail in the womb before it was even implemented?

However, he has always admired the president's actions in the past few years, so Cao Yu chose to follow this decision.

He asked someone to call all the girls on the list to the conference room, and announced: "The president has just decided to let you go to Fu Yu Group to participate in the live broadcast course tomorrow. You may become the first batch of female anchors of Tok Tik in the future."

"live streaming?"

When LISA heard the news, she felt like she was struck by lightning.

She came all the way to Korea to be an idol, not a host.

"I absolutely cannot be a host, I want to be an idol, I want to be a star!"

LISA gritted her teeth and swore secretly in her heart that after Lee Soo Man left, she decided to go find the chairman.

Even if it costs my life, I can't let my dreams die.

When I arrived at the president's office, I suddenly found that the president was talking to a big-eyed beauty.

"Kim Yoo Jung, why is she here? Is the rumor true? Does the president like this type?"

LISA quickly shrank into the stairwell and looked outside secretly.

If the president likes to use unspoken rules, then I definitely have a chance to become an idol.

Even if I don't like him, I'll take the initiative. With my talent, men generally won't refuse...
