China Entertainment: I became a capital tycoon

Chapter 633. Do it! We must do it! And do it well!

At four o'clock in Yanjing, the traffic volume on the road is not the busiest.

A luxury Mercedes was speeding towards the suburbs. In the back seat of the car, Zhang Tian'ai was leaning in Cao Yu's arms, and a big hand was gently stroking her black stockings.

"What they say on the Internet is true. Men really like black stockings."

Zhang Tian'ai likes this feeling, which makes her feel very safe. From today on, she finally has someone to rely on in the entertainment industry.

Halfway through the journey, the sky, which had been clear, suddenly became covered with dark clouds. Soon, there was a loud thunder and raindrops as big as beans fell on the car windows, making crackling sounds.

"Why is it raining suddenly..."

Zhang Tianai raised her legs a little higher to make it easier for Cao Yu, then turned and stared at the man: "Brother, where are we going?"

"Go home."

"Oh."

Zhang Tianai didn't say much, but she was very happy in her heart.

Instead of taking myself to a hotel and getting a room, I went home. This means I didn't treat myself as a plaything.

After a long while, she couldn't help but turn her head back and found that although Cao Yu's hand was on her leg, his eyes were looking at the rain outside the window. She asked curiously, "Brother, what are you thinking about?"

"I wonder if it would be possible to have a music show similar to the one in Korea and Korea in China."

Although Cao Yu has some ideas about the music stage today, the national conditions of the two countries are different after all. It is still unknown whether the central bank will agree and whether it can be done.

Before his rebirth, he had participated in music shows, but they all failed. This means that there is no precedent for this in China and it has no reference value.

Although he had a beautiful woman in his arms, he couldn't help but think about the music show.

"Brother, you are so capable, you will definitely be able to do it. I believe in you."

Although Zhang Tian'ai didn't quite understand all this, she chose to believe in Cao Yu unconditionally and believed that the man she liked would definitely succeed.

After she finished speaking, seeing that Cao Yu didn't say anything, she thought for a moment and said according to her own understanding: "This is a first for China. If it goes well, many entertainment companies and record companies will have to act according to Feiyu's wishes."

"Haha, you are right."

Although the truth that Zhang Tianai said was very simple, it moved Cao Yu.

If the song promotion program can really be successful, it will not only set a precedent, but also regulate those fake song promotion programs in the future.

As for the profit issue that I was most worried about before, if I invest 100 or 200 million, even if I lose money, it won’t be a big problem.

Zhang Tianai was very happy to be praised by Cao Yu. She slid her jade hand gently on Cao Yu's chest: "Brother, when you are with her, are you just thinking about work? Don't you think about anything else? Is it because I am not good-looking?"

Hearing this, Cao Yu temporarily put his work aside and said with a smile: "What do you want me to think about?"

"Think about them too."

"Today is one night, isn't that enough?"

Cao Yu held up Zhang Tianai's delicate face, then bent down and kissed her cherry lips.

This time the kiss was as fierce and intense as the rain outside the car window.

Zhang Tianai was almost out of breath from the kiss, and suddenly she felt the car stop. She immediately thought that the boss couldn't help but get in the car.
But Cao Yu let her go.

"arrive."

"what?"

Zhang Tianai looked out the window with hazy eyes and found that the car was parked right in front of the gate of a manor.

Although it was still raining, it was clear that the manor was not small. It had a different feeling on rainy days and was very beautiful.

"Is this your house? It's so big."

Zhang Tianai looked at the decorated villa and sighed.

But the sweet words "so big" came out of her mouth, and Cao Yu carried Zhang Tianai down from the car like a princess: "There are bigger ones."

"boom!"

There was a muffled thunder, and the rain from the sky became heavier and heavier. The raindrops fell on the banana leaves in the yard, making a rustling sound, but it could not cover up the dreamlike sound in the bedroom.

This thunderstorm lasted for quite a while. It started out as heavy rain, then slowly turned into light rain, and didn't stop until more than an hour later.

On the balcony of the villa, Zhang Tian'ai was wearing pajamas and sitting in Cao Yu's arms. The blush on her face had not yet faded, making her look like a crabapple after the rain, even more bright and beautiful.

"you are so Beautiful"

Cao Yu actually had a very deep impression of Zhang Tianai.

Before "The Rise of Phoenixes", her two lines in "The Artilleryman" "You shameless bastard, get out of here" and "Do what you have to do" were already memorable.

"You are handsome too, I am so happy."

Zhang Tian'ai hugged Cao Yu's waist, feeling that it was filled with intoxicating power.

"Next year, I will shoot a TV series specifically for you. You will play the leading female role in it. It will definitely be even more popular."

When Cao Yu was watching "The Rise of Phoenixes" before, he specifically looked for the original novel of the drama, which was published in 2012. When the time comes, he can buy the copyright, which will definitely help Zhang Tianai to make further progress in her career.

"Brother, you are so kind!"

Although Zhang Tianai is now considered a good second-tier actress, in addition to the resources provided by the company, she can also get some dramas outside.

But this is the first time that the boss has tailored a drama for me.

"You're moist, too."

"What is Run?"

"You'll know when the movie 'Blade of the Assassin' is released."

……

For a period of time afterwards, Cao Yu was busy with TV dramas and movies during the day, and also had to prepare for the planning of a music show.

But in comparison, he is actually busier at night.

At the same time, it is not only Zhang Tian'ai who makes him feel hot, but also girls like Jing Tian, ​​Wang Xiaochen, Nazha, Reba, Zhang Jingying, etc. Which one of these girls is not beautiful?

On the fifth day of the eighth lunar month, Qidu returned home.

Cao Yu brought seven small flowers to the Central Bank Building.

The program "A Bite of China" has been filmed and is currently undergoing post-dubbing. It will be broadcast on New Year's Day.

Due to the popularity of "Kai Men Da Ji" and "Poetry Conference", CCTV attached great importance to this food program, invested a lot of manpower and resources, and traveled to many places to shoot.

With the support of CCTV's production and Cao Yu's planning, all the advertising spots for this program have been sold out before it even airs.

After Cao Yu sent seven flowers to the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala program team, he went directly to Director Jiao’s office.

"Boss Cao, hurry up and take a seat!"

The director of CCTV was extremely enthusiastic when he saw Cao Yu coming.

He thought that Boss Cao would not come to visit for no reason, and since he was here, maybe there was something good going on.

Last year, the two programs were very popular, and Director Jiao’s position as director is now quite stable.

"Director Jiao, this is what I have recently come up with."

"If you have any ideas, just tell me. I believe Boss Cao's ideas must be good ones."

When Director Jiao heard the word "idea", his eyes lit up.

"As you know, I also have an entertainment company in Korea, so I often participate in Korean music shows. I think the reason why Korean Wave can influence the whole of East Asia is that they can continuously produce good songs."

Cao Yu said this while observing Director Jiao.

He found that the other party frowned when he said this, and he felt that there might be twists and turns in this matter.

But he continued, "Therefore, we at Feiyu Entertainment want to cooperate with the Central Bank to launch a live music show similar to Music Bank on the variety channel. What do you think?"

“Whoa whoa.”

After listening to this, Director Jiao picked up the teacup and blew gently on the floating tea leaves, but did not immediately express his opinion. After a while, he said, "I know that Korean music shows are very successful, but Boss Cao should know that the national conditions of the two countries are different. We don't have a trainee system. This kind of stage music show cannot be done in China."

Cao Yu had anticipated such an answer, so he explained: "There will definitely be difficulties, I have thought about it, but we will only know whether something can be done after someone has done it.

KBS is the same as our CCTV. If they can do it, we can do it too. As for the trainee system, it is because they have a small population that they have trainees. We have billions of people. Isn't it possible that we can't have some good singers, good groups and musicians?"

"hehe."

Director Jiao smiled disapprovingly and thought to himself, "Boss Cao is very profitable and has good ideas, but he is still young. Music shows cannot be successful in China. He is too fanciful."

However, he did not embarrass Boss Cao in person, and said with a smile: "We have more than one billion people, but this kind of thing is just like football, it can't be done with a large number of people. South Korea has only tens of millions of people, but it can make it to the semi-finals of the World Cup, while it is difficult for us to even make it to the finals."

"."

Cao Yu was speechless, but at the same time he also understood that the central bank was very pessimistic about this matter.

He could also understand that for this kind of music show, the national conditions are one thing, but there could also be shady dealings, and there were too many leaders at the central bank, so coordination was a lot of problems.

But he believes that as long as you really want to do it well, these are not problems.

The problem is they don't want to solve it.

"Forget it, I'll go back and think about it."

After saying this, Cao Yu stood up and prepared to leave.

However, at this moment, he wanted to do this thing and do it well.

Director Jiao stood up to see him off. When he reached the door, he gave him earnest advice: "Brother Cao, I know you have good intentions, but some things cannot be done just by having an idea. You are so rich now, so if you can't do this kind of thankless task, don't do it."

"Thank you for your advice, Director Jiao."

Cao Yu said something polite, then left somewhat disappointed.

Looking at Cao Yu's back, Director Jiao shook his head and said secretly: "It seems that he still doesn't want to give up..."

After leaving Big Pants, Cao Yu did not return to the company, but went to Yang Shuxue's house.

"Why do you look depressed?"

Yang Shuxue saw Cao Yu coming back listless, which was completely different from his usual confident look, so she asked curiously.

"Hey"

Cao Yu sighed and recounted what happened today.

"I thought it was some big deal, is this it?"

Yang Shuxue smiled gently, sat next to Cao Yu, and held his hand: "If the central government doesn't want to do it, you can cooperate with local TV stations. Even if you are worried that the local TV stations don't have enough influence, you might as well do it yourself. What are you afraid of!"

"I have thought about doing it myself, but if we can't cooperate with the TV station, let alone the influence, we are lacking the main host, lighting, stage, photography, organization and coordination."

Cao Yu touched his chin and said, "Although Feiyu Entertainment has held a New Year's Eve party, this kind of music show has to be held for a week, which is different from the party that takes more than a month to prepare."

"Dear, remember one thing: any problem that can be solved with money is not a problem!"

Yang Shuxue said: "It is true that there is a gap between Fei'e Video and those TV stations within the system. However, if there is no stage, we can build one ourselves. If there is no equipment, we can just buy it. If there is no host, can't we recruit? If we want experience, we can send people to Korea to study. If we encounter problems, we can solve them. Besides, you still have me."

After saying that, she remembered something and said, "In the future, when we have a stage, not only can we do the live broadcast of singing competitions you mentioned, Fei'e Video can also hold an annual awards ceremony for the entertainment industry."

"hiss"

Cao Yu took a breath and looked at Yang Shuxue seriously.

She was right. Although there were many difficulties, there was nothing that money could not solve.

Now Xinlang is organizing an online festival. He can do it. Now Weibo is under Tencent, so why can’t he do it?

Yang Shuxue stood up and sat on Cao Yu's lap: "Don't worry, if you are afraid of compensation, I will help you pay for it!"

Losing money is indeed one thing that Cao Yu is worried about.

By cooperating with the TV station, many resources can be shared. If we have to do everything by ourselves now, one or two hundred million is definitely not enough. The investment in this project will at least quadruple or quintuple, which is just enough.

But once you do it, it will be a one-time thing.

"Do it! We must do it! And do it well!"

With the confidence given by Yang Shuxue, Cao Yu became more determined and felt that this was something worth doing.

As for Yang Shuxue's offer to help with the money, he naturally couldn't use it. This kind of investment was not a big problem for him now.

"That's right, that's you."

Yang Shuxue nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "When your project is completed, let them regret it."

"hehe."

Cao Yu doesn't have this idea, but he just hopes that the Chinese music scene will not regress another ten years.

The two chatted for a while, and Yang Shuxue asked: "How is Wolf Warrior doing now? How much is the box office expected to be?"

"We have already started promoting it, and it will be shown in Hong Kong, South Korea, Japan, Southeast Asia and other places. As for the box office, it will definitely be 700 million or 800 million."

China Film.

"Director Han, this National Day, our movie will definitely do well at the box office."

Bona's CEO Yu and Han Sanping were chatting in the office: "Boss Han, is Feiyu's sci-fi film Gravity really not finished yet?"

"Hey"

Han Sanping sighed and said, "James is too demanding. He pursues perfection in every detail. The post-production alone took more than a year. The release will probably have to wait until the Spring Festival. This investment has indeed been delayed for a long time."

“Science fiction films are not that easy to make.”

President Yu shook his head and said, "Feiyu has made quite a few films this year. I didn't expect that there would only be one movie, Wolf Warrior, during the National Day holiday. The director is a newcomer, Wu Jing. I don't know what he was thinking."

"I guess they should give me some face. After all, the film "Legend of the White Snake" accounts for a large proportion of the film."

Han Sanping was very satisfied with Cao Yu's approach. He felt that although Boss Cao was young, he was very sensible.

He asked casually, "Mr. Yu, how much do you expect the box office of "Legend of the White Snake" to be?"

"With Jet Li in charge, Huang Shengyi, and the recently popular Wen Zhang, plus we spent over 50 million on special effects alone, we can be sure that the box office will exceed 500 million."

"50 million special effects?"

Han Sanping was immediately unhappy and asked, "You invested 1942 million, but you only spent million on special effects? Yours is a mythological drama, while Huayi's is a modern drama, and they spent more than million on special effects."

Mr. Yu was a little embarrassed and explained, "Jet Li's salary is too high, so he took 40% of the investment."

"Hey"

Han Sanping sighed again: "Nowadays, the pay of some Chinese actors is too high, which seriously compresses the production costs. Last time, Mr. Cao from Feiyu talked to me and said that it is best to spend most of the cost of a play on production. Only then will Chinese films have a future."

"He may be right, but the audience likes to see celebrities. Without the appeal of big-name stars, how can we attract the audience to spend money to go to the cinema?"

Mr. Yu did not refute. After expressing his own views, he smiled and said, "The National Day is coming soon anyway, so we'll see how the box office performs."

This year's National Day period was not as competitive as in previous years, as Huayi placed its hopes on Double Eleven, the Lunar New Year and the Spring Festival.

Feiyu only has one film, "Wolf Warrior", scheduled for the National Day, but Light Media has a film, "Painted Skin", which looks to be coming in strong. However, Light Media and Feiyu have a good relationship, and many of the actors invited are from Feiyu's company.

However, Yu Dong is not worried. The Legend of the New White Snake is broadcast every summer vacation, so the story of the Legend of the White Snake has a large market in China. Coupled with Jet Li and pretty good special effects, he is very confident that he will win the box office championship during this year's National Day holiday.

The two chatted for a while, and Mr. Yu suddenly asked: "Mr. Han, Feiyu seems to have invested in a movie called Mr. Tree. Do you know about it?"

"I've heard it's a low-budget movie. It's expected to be released in mid-October. It won't have any impact."

"That's good."

Mr. Yu was finally relieved.

Bona has developed well in recent years and has produced many films with mediocre box office performance. However, during good periods, most of the box office champions were taken by Feiyu.

He didn't have any conflict with Cao Yu, he just wanted to get a good result.
