China Entertainment: I became a capital tycoon

Chapter 553 551. Do Chinese people understand animation? (-in-)

After buying the broadcasting rights of "Dream of Red Mansions", Nosei Shitani felt that he had taken advantage of Boss Cao and said, "Where is the "Three Kingdoms" you are talking about?"

"it's here."

Cao Yu opened another folder, which contained some stills from the Three Kingdoms and promotional videos.

Noshige Shitani glanced at it for a few times, then frowned: "Some parts of this film are not exquisite enough, and the actors' acting skills are average. We can import it, but the price is just the price."

"This film is worth $250,000 to you."

From a professional point of view, the other party was right. Cao Yu hesitated and quoted a price slightly lower than that of "Dream of Red Mansions".

Shimatani Nosei shook his head and said: "It's too high. The level of this film can cost up to 100,000 US dollars."

"Two hundred thousand minimum."

"Okay, let me think about this movie first."

"Is this script really good? It has attracted people like the boss who have been working in animation for decades? How is this possible?"

The slight contempt in my heart was gone.

Cao Yu sneered in his heart and said: "I can consider setting up a Tokyo branch of Fei'e Video, but all your film and television works can be put on the Japanese platform. As for other platforms, we have to make choices!"

"."

Others in Dongbao wanted to laugh at this Chinese man, feeling that he was really overestimating his abilities.

Just one script and you want 10% of the investment? Do you really think we are stupid?

They couldn't help but become curious about the script provided by this Chinese.

Nosei Shitani was too embarrassed to refuse anymore, so he took the script and just read it casually.

"The title of the best screenwriter in Hollywood really has something to it, and they say he doesn't understand Japanese culture. If he really doesn't understand, how can he write such a thing?"

Other accompanying employees at Dongbao also feel the same way, and they are also not optimistic about Boss Cao's animation script.

Finally, he added: "We at Feiyu Entertainment are not short of money now!"

The contents of the agreement made Cao Yu frown more and more.

He paused, pointed to other terms, and continued: "Artist exchanges and joint investment in filming must also be determined based on the needs of film and television works."

The agreement is written in Chinese, Japanese and English, which shows how seriously the other party takes it.

Indeed, Boss Cao has just been listed on Nasdaq and is worth tens of billions of dollars. Will he be short of money?
The main reason is that the other party slept alone last night and didn't touch the few gifts he sent. Now he is really confident.

It’s not that we are not confident, it’s that their desire to destroy China has never died!
Shimatani Nosei noticed that Cao Yu frowned, thinking that he had not seen the benefits, so he smiled and said: "If Cao Jun feels that 46 is not suitable, 37 can also be considered. In addition, we can invest in film and television dramas. Provide comprehensive technical support, after all, we have more experience in this area than you. ”

Cao Yu didn't give the other party a chance to think about it, and handed over the "Your Name" script again: "If we want to cooperate in film and television shooting, let's start with this animation. My script plus half of the investment will account for 60%. How about ?”

"The two parties jointly established a Fei'e Video branch in Tokyo and put all Toho's film and television works on Fei'e Video's various language platforms. The profits will be shared. The two parties will strengthen artist exchanges and cooperation and jointly invest in filming movies and TV series in the future."

After all, Shimatani Nosei is the boss of an entertainment company, and he still has a good vision. Compared with the version introduced only a few years ago, the quality of "New Three Kingdoms" is far behind.

Although Nose Shitani is very aware of Cao Yu's screenwriting skills, he still feels that he is the best in animation.

Shimatani Nosei was stunned.

Problem teaching materials are not enough. I want to use my own platform and popularity to export all aspects of culture.

If you agree because of the huge profits, you will be encouraging the prevalence of Japanese winds!

You are just a Chinese, even if you have won an Oscar, you have some understanding of American culture, but when it comes to animation, are you Chinese really good at it?
He doesn't think so.

The shrewd Shimaya Nose shook his head, feeling that this request was a bit excessive.

Shimaya Nosei has been completely attracted by the script.

"Rich? Besides anime, what else do you have now?"

Although the movie tells the story of male and female high school students meeting in a dream and looking for each other, based on his sensitivity to movies, it can be predicted that if this movie is made, it will definitely be a big success.

"There is an idiom in China, which is called playing tricks. Do Chinese people understand animation? Haha, your script is Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf? Animation is not just for children!"

The script provided by Cao Yu not only has a detailed plot, but also character settings and some illustrations, which are very detailed.

He took out the script of "Your Name" again and said with a smile: "I just wrote a script for an anime movie some time ago. I originally wanted to shoot it myself. I just heard Ai Hui's Kimura said some time ago that you want to cooperate with us. I think you I have more experience in animation, so I will slightly modify the script. Do you want to take a look first?"

Cao Yu didn't explain, just smiled and said: "You take a look first, if you are not satisfied, we will shoot it ourselves!"

As Shitani Nose spoke, he took out a contract and said with a smile: "This is a cooperation agreement we drafted. How about Mr. Cao take a look at it first."

"New Three Kingdoms" is not produced by Feiyu, and Cao Yu is not in a hurry.

"Shimatani thinks about it slowly."

"Sixty percent? Too high."

Shimaya Nosei was shocked by the script setting and touching story.

Even the scores of the two theme songs are attached at the back.

But after a while, they found that their boss's expression was getting weirder and weirder, and he was looking more and more seriously, becoming more and more fascinated.

"Not in a hurry."

"Ok."

This project required cooperation, and since the script accounted for 10% of the investment, he did not ask for it randomly.

"Suppress him first, then I can take the initiative."

Cao Yu looked at Shitani Nose's expression changes with a smile, and quietly raised the corners of his mouth.

Anyway, I’m going to touch the woman you sent last night. You can’t do anything to me for the time being, but later
My waist is strong enough, don’t worry.

Nearly half an hour later, Nose Shitani finally studied the script carefully and said excitedly: "Cao Jun is indeed worthy of his reputation. This script is simply great. Let's invest together and release it on Valentine's Day next year. The box office will definitely be very high. "

Seeing the boss like this, Dongbao's accompanying staff were stunned on the spot.

Is this script really that good? What story are you telling? The boss looked like he couldn't wait any longer.

Cao Yu did not nod immediately, but said: "What about cooperation?"

"Cao Jun, would you like to seriously consider the cooperation? My plan will be beneficial to both of us. It can be said to be a win-win situation. Moreover, with our influence, we will also help your Fei'e Video's stock price rise."

Shimatani Nosei still wants to stick to his plan.

Cao Yu said resolutely: "I have just considered it. Branches can be opened, but your company's works must be selectively put on other language platforms. Film and television cooperation must also be determined based on the market."

"."

Shimatani Nose looked at the script in his hand, thought about the influence of Fei Goose Video, and fell into deep thought.

"Those three women are really useless!"

I complained to Sasaki Nozomi and the others for a while, but seeing Cao Yu's resolute attitude, I felt that as long as we started to cooperate, future issues would be easier to discuss.

After calculating the gains and losses for a moment, he finally could only nod helplessly: "Okay, we agree to Cao Jun's plan. I hope we can make more excellent works like this in the future."

"no problem."

Cao Yu stood up and stretched out his hand, but he was thinking in his heart: "Next time, how about I create a disaster movie called "Fuji Eruption" or "Fukushima Mutant Monster" and see if you can make it?"

In the afternoon of that day, the two parties revised the cooperation agreement and re-finalized some details.

Cao Yu firmly disagreed with the other party's desire to invest in the branch and only agreed to cooperate.

I don't need the other party's funds at all now, and I know very well that no matter what, the control of the Tokyo branch must be firmly in my own hands.

After that, Cao Yu sent the agreement back to China for review by the company's legal department. If there were no problems, he would sign a formal contract.

Cao Yu originally wanted to sell the Japanese broadcasting rights of "Sword of Immortality", "Palace", and "Flower Thousand Bones" to Dongho. This can be regarded as a kind of cultural export. But after talking about these things, it was almost twelve o'clock, so he had to Until next time.

"Cao Jun, I own a private hot spring club. Why not take a dip in the afternoon? It will be very helpful to relieve fatigue."

As Shitani Nose spoke, he also said with great interest: "When you are alive, you must learn to enjoy it. I have specially selected those girls to take care of your daily life. Mr. Cao, please don't be polite."

Cao Yu did take a hot spring bath in the Japanese country. It was when he and Shu Qi were filming "If You Are the One". It felt very good. I must enjoy it this time.

He smiled and said, "Thank you very much. Mr. Shimatani will arrange it."

"We will be friends from now on, no need to be polite."

As Shitani Nose spoke, he made arrangements for his assistant in Japanese, and then had lunch with Cao Yu.

At the dinner table, the two did not talk about work, but only about Chinese and Japanese culture, as well as the future development of film and television.

"Cao Jun thinks, where will the development of film and television be in the next few years?"

"Today's young people are under increasing pressure, and they actually prefer cool dramas."

"It seems to really make sense."

Shimatani Nosei had never heard of the word Shuangwen before, but now that he heard Cao Yu say it, he couldn't help but admire it even more.

The young people of Japan are indeed very active now, and the area of ​​Shuangwen and Shuangdrama is indeed the direction of development.

After eating, the group went to a guild hall in the mountains on the outskirts. This private club occupies a small area, but the environment is very quiet. There are dozens of security guards patrolling around it. It seems that Shitani Nojo is a place specially designed to entertain VIPs.

The guild hall is entirely made of wood and is Japanese-style. It is not only equipped with tea rooms, hot springs, massage rooms, massage rooms, but also guest rooms. The decoration style of each room is simple yet luxurious, which is completely different from the modern and magnificent style.

The two changed their clothes, wore bathrobes, and came to a tea room.

The girls who came to make tea were all wearing light gauze clothes, and their graceful bodies were looming.

"I really enjoy it."

Just as Cao Yu was thinking about it, Shitaya Nosei clapped his hands.

"Pop."

At the sound, a group of girls filed into the room.

The girls all wore thin clothes, which showed their figures almost at a glance. Whether they were good or bad could be seen at a glance.

Nose Shitani smiled and said: "Cao-kun, since you don't like the girl I gave you yesterday, you can choose it first today. After you have chosen it, I will take a bath with you."

Cao Yu scanned around these girls and found Nozomi Sasaki, the village beauty, and Nana Komatsu among them.

It's just that Nozomi Sasaki and Muraka were looking at themselves expectantly at this time, and their eyes seemed to say: Choose me.

"Why does it feel like a KTV choosing a princess?"

Amid their expectations, Cao Yu finally chose them: "Just the two of them."

"How about two?"

After Shimatani Nosari finished speaking, he pointed to Komatsu Nana, and then pointed to a girl, and said with a smile: "You guys should go too, and stay with my distinguished guest."

"Yes."

The four girls who were selected quickly bowed down, knelt down next to Cao Yu, two pinched his legs, and two pinched his shoulders.

"Cao Jun, have fun."

Shimatani Nosei stopped disturbing Cao Yu, stood up, hugged the two girls and left without ceremony, while the girls who were not selected all left disappointed.

"The matter has almost been discussed, let's have some extravagance for a while."

Cao Yu smiled inwardly and said to the newly joined girl with a pair of dimples: "What's your name?"

The girl whispered: "My name is Kurose Manami, and I was the first place winner in the last Toho Cinderella competition."

"Oh"

Cao Yu nodded and asked, "What is the Dongbao Cinderella selection?"

"It's Toho's artist selection every six years, do you know Yasuko Sawaguchi?"

"know."

As a person born in the 80s, I actually know Cao Yu, the girl named Yasuko Sawaguchi, because this woman has acted in a very famous TV series called "Axiang".

"Yasuko Sawaguchi is the first place winner of the first Toho Cinderella."

"It seems that you are pretty good."

Cao Yu praised him and asked casually: "How many people usually participate in the selection of this event?"

"Usually between thirty and forty thousand people."

“Competition is fierce”

Cao Yu couldn't help but feel emotional. He felt that this activity was similar to the Korean Bang's trainee system, and the curls were also very powerful. It's no wonder that girls want to hug his lap.

After resting for a while, Cao Yu stood up and said, "Let's go to the hot springs."

When I came outdoors, I found that the hot spring pool is natural, steaming with a hint of heat, very clear, and it is also living water.

When they came to the pool, several girls gently took off Cao Yu's bathrobe.

"Comfortable!"

Now is the time in March when the peach blossoms are in full bloom. Now is the best time to soak in the hot springs. Cao Yu leaned on the edge of the pool, too comfortable to talk.

At this time, I saw four girls with red faces, taking off their clothes and walking into the pool. They swam over like mermaids and began to help Cao Yu stretch his muscles.

…………

Toei Co., Ltd. is one of the five major film and television companies in Japan and one of Toho's competitors.

"President, I just received news that Cao Yu, who won the best picture at the Oscars some time ago, has come to Tokyo and is discussing cooperation with Toho."

In the president's office, a subordinate reported the news just received to Toei President Osamu Tezuka.

"Cao Yu? Is that the boss of Fei Ge Video who just listed on Nasdaq?"

"Yes, that's him."

The subordinate nodded and then said: "President, according to the personnel I have placed in Toho, Fei'e Video will set up a branch in Tokyo and we will make a movie together this year."

"Make a movie together?"

"Yes, it is said that it is an animated film written by the Chinese himself."

"Animated movie? Do you know the content of the script?"

"I don't know about this, but I heard that Shimatani is very interested, and this script alone accounts for 10% of their investment."

"Oh?"

It was rare for a script to account for 10% of the investment, which made Nagatezuka curious.

He thought for a while and said: "Find a way to contact this Cao Yu. We can do what Dongbao can do!"

Nowadays, the five major film companies, Nikkatsu and Shochiku, have begun to decline. Kadokawa's leaders are old and have no successors.

Currently, only Toei and Toho, the two major companies of the top five, support half of the Japanese film and television industry.

The two companies have also been competing for strength in animation, refusing to give in to each other.

If Dongbao enters the Chinese market, it will have a huge impact on its own company, as will Cao Yu, who is now famous internationally.

…………

After experiencing a mixed bathing hot spring in Japan, Cao Yu was full of energy and prepared to sign a contract with Dongbao early the next morning.

"Onisan, do you really want me to star in a movie?"

While having breakfast, "Village Beauty" Kasumi Arimura heard that she had been recommended to play "She is Strange" and couldn't believe it at all.

Not long after his debut, he would be able to star in a movie. This was something that he had never thought about before.

It seems that it is worth entrusting yourself to this Chinese this time.

Cao Yu looked at the fleshy girl and said with a smile, "Why did I lie to you?"

The reason why he knew about the village beauty was because he had seen the two movie introductions of this girl on the Xiaopo website. In the two movies "Bottom Hot Girl" and "Bouquet of Love", the explosive performance and acting skills of the village beauty were completely different. Above the standard, several crying scenes are well done and worth cultivating.

"so envious."

The three girls next to him looked envious.

"You are all good and have great future."

After Cao Yu finished speaking, he was just about to go out when the phone rang. It was from Huaxia.

"what's up?"

"Mr. Cao, our contract with Toho has been reviewed and there are no problems. The final contract has been sent to your email. In addition, Toei Co., Ltd. contacted us this morning and said that it also wanted to meet with you."

"Toei?"

Cao Yu was startled. As someone born in the 1980s, the logo of Toei Company was completely a memory of his childhood.

They produce cartoons such as "Smart Ikkyu", "Saint Seiya", "Dragon Ball", "One Piece", "Slam Dunk", "Sailor Moon" and so on. It is estimated that few people dare to say that they have not watched it.

During the phone call, Feiyu Entertainment CEO Chen Chengjie said: "Mr. Cao, do we want to refuse?"

"Why refuse?"

Cao Yu chuckled, Fei'e Video is going to set up a Tokyo branch, these are resources.

"Then if Mr. Cao wants to meet with them, what time is appropriate?"

"In this case, you can call me again in an hour and we will discuss this matter."

"Okay, Mr. Cao."

Although Chen Jiecheng didn't know why the boss had to wait for an hour, he still agreed.

"Haha, interesting."

After hanging up the phone, Cao Yu chuckled, feeling that this visit to Japan was really not in vain.
