China Entertainment: I became a capital tycoon

Chapter 646. President Cao is a big bad guy
In the blue sky, a luxurious Airbus plane is flying through the clouds.

In the cabin, Cao Yu leaned on the sofa, looking at the script in his hand.

After the Seoul Music Awards, he had to rush to Japan early the next morning to accompany T-ARA and others to attend the Korean Golden Disc Awards.

I don't know what the organizing committee of this award was thinking. They actually held the ceremony for the highest award for Korean songs in Japan. Although it is meant to promote Korean Wave, it still feels weird. It's like holding the Oscars ceremony in China.

However, FNC still has many groups nominated for this Golden Disc Awards.

In addition, Cao Yu came to Japan this time because he was invited by colleagues from Toei and Toho companies, and this time he happened to deal with both of these things at the same time.

However, because there were so many people selected for the Golden Record, this time everyone else took a chartered plane to Osaka. There was no one else on his private plane except the personal secretary arranged by the company.

At this time, there were several scripts in front of Cao Yu, three of which were written by screenwriters contracted by the company, and the other two were sent by other screenwriters who wanted to cooperate.

"This screenwriter's name seems familiar"

At this time, Cao Yu was reading the TV drama script "Reply 1997" written by a new screenwriter named Li Youting.

Today, FNC has the greatest reputation in the Korean entertainment industry, and its film and television production is better than that of other companies. Many screenwriters are willing to work with Cao Yu, the Oscar-winning screenwriter, to increase their own popularity.

I haven't watched this TV series, but I have heard of another Korean drama written by this person called "Reply 1988".

In addition, he has several scripts in front of him, including "Goblin: The Lonely and Great God", "My Husband Got a Family", "Master's Sun" and the movie "New World".

Cao Yu feels that these scripts are pretty good and can be invested this year.

Although the screenwriter of "Reply 1997" may not be famous now, "Reply 1988" is the highest-rated Korean drama.

At this time, a tall woman with delicate looks and wearing a white business suit walked over with long legs.

"President, the coffee is ready."

This woman's name is Go Ara, and she is an artist under SM. After SM was acquired by FNC, she became Cao Yu's employee.

Although she was once called the Three Beauties of SM together with Yoona and Lee Yeon-hee, Cao Yu did not have much in common with this woman.

This time, because he did not bring a secretary to Seoul, Gao Yala was chosen by Jin Guangzhu to be his temporary personal secretary.

The woman was wearing a professional suit. When she lowered her head to put down the coffee cup, a large area of ​​snow-white skin was exposed, and the cleavage was faintly visible, which was very attractive.

She didn't want to seduce the boss, but wanted to show her advantages and get some opportunities.

As for whether he would be seduced, because her father was an officer, she felt that this Chinese man did not have the courage to do so.

“Just put it here.”

However, Cao Yu did not look away and his eyes never left the script.

Although he was not familiar with the other three beauties of SM except Yoona, he knew the name Go Ara because of some things that happened to Liu Yifei before her rebirth.

"?"

After Go Ara's contract company changed from SM to FNC, she hasn't filmed any dramas for more than two years, and it feels like she's been shelved.

As the champion of the SM talent show that year, she was very dissatisfied with her current situation, so she fought for the job of the president's personal secretary.

But the president didn't even look at me?
Am I, an actor, not as good as those little idols in the company?

She did not leave, but saw the five scripts in front of Cao Yu.

"I heard that the president, who is an Oscar-winning screenwriter, has very high standards when choosing scripts. If he chooses a script, it must be good. If I can play a role in it, maybe my career will take off."

There is no shortage of beauties in the Korean entertainment industry, with hundreds of thousands of people pouring into this industry every year. No matter how beautiful you are, if you don't have any works for a while, you will be forgotten by the audience.

Everyone in the entertainment industry understands this truth.

Therefore, Gao Yala deliberately squatted beside Cao Yu and asked in a low voice: "President, is this the script that our FNC is going to invest in this year?"

"Yes."

Cao Yu finally turned his head and glanced at the beautiful woman squatting beside him, then retracted his gaze: "Do you have anything else to say? If not, please let me be quiet for a while."

It was clear that they wanted to drive people away.

Cao Yu didn’t think Gao Yala was ugly, but he felt that this woman only had a pretty face but her acting skills were average.

And because his father is an officer, he usually looks down on idols in the company, which he doesn't like.

Most importantly, she once publicly mocked Liu Yifei using intimate photos.

"Xixi is my woman now, and the mother of my son, and the grass on the grave of that Song is now as tall as a person. It's fine if I don't want to pay attention to you, but you dare to tease me here?"

Cao Yu shook his head in his heart and was too lazy to pay attention to this woman.

"."

Although the president spoke very politely, Gao Yala felt insulted when she heard it.

After all, I am an actor and my father is a military officer, but my status in the company is not as good as that of Krystal Jung, Kim Ji-won, and the girls from Girls' Generation and T-ARA?

Those little idols have had a lot of resources in the past two years. They have appeared in the company's hit movies and TV series in the past two years, but I can only sit on the bench...

Gao Yala did not leave obediently, but stood up and stated her purpose of being the president's temporary secretary this time.

"President, I'm about to graduate from college. If there are any suitable roles this year, could you consider me?"

"You want to act?"

Cao Yu's thoughts were interrupted two or three times by this woman, and coupled with her mockery of Liu Yifei, he became very angry.

“I think my acting skills are OK.”

"Good acting? I don't think so, though."

FNC also has an acting assessment. Although this woman graduated from the Drama Department of the Art Academy, Cao Yu feels that her acting skills are not as good as that of the teenage girl Kim Yoo-jung.

He sneered and looked Gao Yala up and down, and said two words: "Take it off."

"what?"

Gao Yala thought she had heard it wrong. She was startled at first, then her pretty face turned red and she took a step back in surprise: "President, what are you going to do?"

"what?"

Cao Yu picked up the coffee and took a sip: "Don't you want to act? Take it off and let me see."

Gao Yala has fair skin and beautiful looks. Cao Yu is very curious whether she dares to do what he says.

Gao Yala's face turned even redder, and she whispered, "My father is an air force officer! You can't do this to me!"

"Oh?"

Hearing the threat in her words, Cao Yu became even angrier and said coldly, "I can make him not be, do you believe it?"

Only then did Gao Yala remember that the man in front of her was not only the boss of an entertainment company, but also a guest of honor of CJ Group. He was also a close friend of Samsung boss Lee Jae-yong. This meant that he did have this ability.

My father was just a lieutenant, nothing in front of Samsung.

Originally, I thought the president wouldn't dare to do anything to me, but now it seems that I underestimated this man.

"Maybe this is an opportunity. Just think of it as being oppressed by a ghost."

Gao Yala comforted herself in her heart, thinking that being seduced might not be a bad thing. Although it was her first time, maybe this would give her a better chance of getting close to the president.

She slowly unbuttoned her clothes, then blushed and slowly took them off one by one.

"Tsk tsk, nice figure, fair skin, not bad."

Cao Yu looked at the girl with her hands folded across her chest and nodded as if appreciating a work of art: "Put your hands down and turn around."

The man didn't move, nor did he seem to be in a hurry to hug her. He just sat there and looked at her.

But because of this, Gao Yala felt even more ashamed.

But at this time she didn't dare to resist, so she could only put down her hands in front of her chest and turn around on the spot.

However, because of shyness, my body was still shaking a little.

"Your hardware is OK. If you work harder on your acting skills, maybe your career will be able to improve."

Cao Yu said, and he stopped looking at Gao Yala and picked up the script: "Put on your clothes and go, I have to be busy."

"??????"

Countless question marks and crows flew across Gao Yala's head, and she was completely upset by the president's actions.

I've already taken off all my clothes, are you really going to let me go just to take a look? Don't you find me, one of the three SM beauties, attractive at all?

This is not very harmful to me, but it is extremely insulting.

She didn’t cry when she took off her clothes just now, but this time she shed tears of grievance, picked up her clothes and ran away.

"Haha, people say that the Korean entertainment industry is just the harem of chaebols, and it's true. If I am willing, I can probably help increase the population of Korea by several thousand."

Cao Yu just smiled faintly in his heart, doing this could also be considered as helping Liu Yifei vent her anger.

Seoul is not far from Osaka, and it only takes more than three hours to fly there.

As soon as we got off the plane, Toei Chairman Osamu Tezuka came to the airport with a team to greet us.

"Mr. Cao, you must have worked hard on the journey."

Chairman Tezuka Osamu saw that the beautiful girl next to Cao Yu had red eyes, as if she had just cried. As a man, he seemed to understand that Boss Cao might have had a hard time on the plane, as he even made the girl cry.

This young rich man is indeed very lustful and likes beautiful women, so he should like what I have prepared.

"so far so good."

"Mr. Cao, you come to Japan so often, and it's not convenient to stay in a hotel. My friend has an empty yard with a nice environment. You can stay there tonight."

"That would be troublesome."

It doesn’t matter where Cao Yu lives, but staying in a hotel is indeed boring.

Gao Yala, who had been following Cao Yu, was a little surprised when she heard this.

Not only did a large company with a long history like Toei come to personally pick up Chairman Cao, but they also specially arranged accommodation for him. This kind of honor is not something that ordinary people can have.

The convoy headed north from Osaka, a city full of skyscrapers.

On the way, Toho Chairman Osamu Tezuka talked about "Descendants of the Sun". "Mr. Cho, "Descendants of the Sun" has a good rating in Korea. Your writing skills are really amazing. I wonder if Mr. Cho has any good ideas, so that we can deepen our cooperation in the film field."

The box office performance of the movie "Your Name" made Toei jealous, and it had to defend its position in the Japanese animation industry.

"I have been wanting to bring the story of Slam Dunk to the big screen for a while now. I wonder if the original author would agree?"

Cao Yu was born in the 80s and is obsessed with "Slam Dunk". He has watched the more than episodes of the animation three or four times and read the comics twice. He really wants to bring the national competition to the screen.

"It should be possible, but it's not easy to turn this film into a big movie, and it's hard to say how much the box office will be."

The copyright of "Slam Dunk" is in the hands of JUMP. If it is adapted, the copyright will definitely cost a lot of money. If the box office is not good, there may be a loss. This is also what Osamu Tezuka is most worried about.

"If we work with the original author to make the changes, I estimate that the box office revenue will be around 200 million US dollars, which is a conservative estimate."

"Two hundred million US dollars"

When Tezuka Osamu heard this number, he was still a little skeptical.

Although the "Slam Dunk" animation is very famous, it is precisely because of this that it is more difficult and risky to make it into a movie.

However, seeing Cao Yu's confidence, he hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded: "Then I will contact Inoue Takehiko and JUMP after I go back and give you an answer as soon as possible."

The two chatted for a while and talked about the movie "Life of Pi". Tezuka Osamu congratulated him and said, "This movie has been released in North America. I heard that it not only performed well, but also received eleven Oscar nominations. It seems that Cao Jun should win the Oscar again this time. I would like to congratulate him in advance."

"Haha, I hope so."

"Life of Pi" was released in North America in early December.

However, Cao Yu plans to postpone the release of the film in China until after the Oscars. If the film wins an award, it may do better at the box office.

The main reason is that Feiyu Entertainment had several films in China that had not yet been released in early December, and adding this film to the mix, it would definitely not be cost-effective.

While the two were talking, the car had already arrived at the foot of a small hill east of Kyoto, Japan.

“The environment is really nice.”

Cao Yu looked out the car window and saw the rolling green mountains and a lake around him. It seemed like a good place.

A few minutes later, the car entered an iron gate and stopped in front of a large manor. The manor was surrounded by green bamboos. It was indeed very comfortable to live here. And from the previous drive, it was not too far from Kyoto, Osaka and Tokyo.

"Mr. Cao will temporarily stay here for the next few days."

Osamu Tezuka pushed open the wooden door of the manor and led Cao Yu and his party in.

Cao Yu glanced around and found that the place was shaded by flowers and trees, with lush greenery, a small pond with rippling water, and a few koi fish. It was indeed a quiet and elegant place. It was much more comfortable to stay here than in a hotel.

While showing Cao Yu around, Tezuka Osamu introduced: "This is the former residence of a good friend who was doing business with me. He has now moved to the United States, so this place is vacant."

At this point, he smiled and said, "Mr. Cao, if you think this place is good, you can actually buy it. It will be convenient for you to live in Japan in the future."

"how much is it?"

Although Cao Yu adheres to the principle of making money abroad and spending it at home, it is not impossible for him to buy a yard and bring his family there for vacation.

It depends mainly on Tezuka Osamu's attitude. This manor covering an area of ​​ten acres should be very cheap.

"My friend wanted me to buy it last time, but I thought it was not available, so I refused. However, the offer was not high, only 300 million yen."

"Three hundred million?"

Cao Yu was stunned. Although the number was not small, it was Japanese yen. If converted into Chinese currency, it would be less than 20 million.

At this price, Osamu Tezuka is half selling and half giving away.

"Thank you, Mr. Tezuka."

"Don't be polite. It's empty anyway."

Tezuka Osamu said a polite word and took Cao Yu to the main hall. As soon as he opened the door, six young girls in kimonos knelt down inside.

"Hello, Mr. Cao."

All six girls look pretty, and I don’t know how Osamu Tezuka chose them.

"Mr. Cao, these are the girls I hired to take care of you. They are both former models. I hope you will have a good time in Japan."

"Thank you then."

Cao Yu agreed immediately to such good intention.

If a Japanese girl comes to your door, you should take her instead.

Behind Cao Yu, Gao Yala cursed in her heart: "Sure enough, he is not a good person. He wants all kinds of gifts!"

Ever since she was humiliated by this man on the plane, Cao Yu has become an absolute villain in her mind.

When Tezuka Osamu saw Cao Yu accept the girl, he hurriedly said, "Mr. Cao, you have worked hard all day, so go to bed early. I won't disturb you."

"I send you."

"No, no, I've contacted Takehiko Inoue and asked him to come here to see you."

After saying this, Tezuka Osamu said goodbye and left.

When Cao Yu returned to the room, several girls came over and said, "Mr. Cao, we will help you bathe and change clothes."

"Need not!"

Cao Yu immediately changed his demeanor, rejected the girls' kindness, and said to Gao Yala, who was standing at the door with a look of disdain, "Go and inform Lee Soo Man and the others that after today's Golden Disc Awards ceremony, bring everyone over to live here."

"understood."

Gao Yala really didn't expect that the president would refuse the service of such a beautiful woman.

She took two steps and turned back to ask, "President, aren't you going to the awards ceremony tonight?"

"I won't go. I have something else to do."

"You're pretending in front of me, but you're actually a hypocrite. When I leave, I'm going to do something to these girls."

Gao Yala suddenly felt that this guy was pretending to be a gentleman in front of her, but in fact he wanted to get her away and do bad things to a few girls.

After Gao Yala left, Cao Yu immediately asked his bodyguard to check the surrounding safety and see if there were any surveillance cameras in the room.

He leaned on the sofa, sipping the tea made by the girls, thinking about how to adapt "Slam Dunk".

The manga "Slam Dunk" has 31 volumes, but the animation was only filmed until the end of the county competition, and the national competition was not filmed at all. This is a regret for countless SD fans.

If we want to change it, we must start with the national competition.

Takehiko Inoue did make a movie version, which was shot from the perspective of Miyagi Ryouta. Although it sold a wave of sentiments, the filming was really not that good.

He spent sixty dollars to support it, but it made people fall asleep.

Cao Yu thought for a moment, took out his computer, and wrote three plans.

The first one starts with the story of the flame man Mitsui Shou.

Mitsui is very popular in "Slam Dunk" and the story is very inspiring. It will definitely be a good film, especially the line "Coach, I want to play basketball", which will definitely move countless audiences.

The second is to shoot a passionate youth romance film from Haruko's perspective, so that her love with Sakuragi can have an outcome.

The third one, of course, is Sakuragi Hanamichi, who mainly talks about the national competitions, focusing on the competition process.

Cao Yu has written three plot plans and is waiting to discuss with Takehiko Inoue in a few days to choose the best one to make into a movie.

After finishing his work, Cao Yu soaked in the hot spring for a while, and then wrote the general plot of "The Great Explosion of Mount Fuji" according to the routine of Hollywood disaster movies.

This film was prepared in collaboration with Toho. After all, he has written so many scripts and he does have the ability to create a new story.

It is enough to just bring out the humanity of people when they face disasters.

After Cao Yu finished writing the outline of the script, he heard the chattering of girls outside.

"President OPPA, the environment here is so nice!"

"Are we going to stay here tonight?"

"President OPPA, our f(x) won the album award, isn't that awesome?"

……

The group of girls excitedly surrounded Cao Yu and talked about the red carpet and award ceremony that evening.

Gao Yala was really confused by what she saw.

This president is so bad, why do so many girls like him?
After everyone chatted for a while, Cao Yu asked everyone to go to bed early, and then gave Lee Ji-eun a wink.

IU understood that OPPA would definitely look for her in the evening, so she prepared to go back and take a shower.

The night in the manor was so quiet that there was almost no sound.

Choi Sulli was lying on the ground, but she couldn't fall asleep because she was so used to her bed.

"I'm going out for a walk..."

She got up and went to the yard. As soon as she arrived in the garden, she saw a slender figure slapping the trees in anger.

"Shameless! You're such a scoundrel! You tricked me into taking off my clothes, but you deliberately didn't touch me!"

"Why am I inferior to T-ARA and Im Yoona?"

"You humiliate me like this... I hate you so much!"

Cui Xueli listened intermittently for a while and roughly understood what happened today.

"The president is too bad..."

But she found it funny instead. Anyone would be angry if she tricked Gao Yala into taking off her clothes but didn't show any reaction.

But you can also find that the president is a very interesting person.

She smiled in her heart, sat on a stone bench, looked at the starry sky, and thought about the experience of the president teaching her to dance one day. Her heart suddenly felt a little beating.

"Shirley? Why are you sitting here alone in such a cold day?"

Suddenly, a gentle voice came from behind. Choi Sulli turned around and found that it was the President Cao Yucao she was thinking about.
