China Entertainment: I became a capital tycoon

Chapter 791 789. Rocket Girls start preparing, three Taiwanese girls
"Youth?"

When Cao Yu heard the title of this movie, he was actually quite interested.

The story of this movie is pretty good and it could have been made even better, but the subject matter is sensitive and Feng Xiaogang probably deleted a lot of things in order to pass the review.

Although there are not many war scenes in the movie, they are very moving.

More importantly, there are quite a lot of beautiful girls, and you can promote the girls in the company.

Besides, the movie has good box office, so it’s worth investing in.

So he agreed, "After the holiday, I'll take a look at the script. If it's as good as you said, I can pitch it for fun."

Although Cao Yu knew that Feng Xiaogang wanted to get him to invest this time in order to increase the box office and reduce his own risks.

But by then he will be able to get some of the share, and Feng Xiaogang's profit will be reduced, so he will still win the bet.

It's not a loss in either direction.

"Okay, Mr. Cao. I'll come to you on the 3rd with the script."

Feng Xiaogang was overjoyed when he heard that Boss Cao agreed to invest.

"I Am Not Madame Bovary" lost money, and the situation of "Mr. Six" is not optimistic now.

But if the next movie is under Feiyu’s name, it will surely make a lot of money.

As soon as Cao Yu hung up the phone, Lin Xinru called.

"Boss Cao, I have already done what you asked me to do. I have found three very good girls, all of them are very pretty. Will I bring them to you tomorrow?"

"So fast?"

Cao Yu just told Lin Xinru last night about looking for a Taiwanese actress. I didn't expect that she would be so interested in it and got it done in just one night.

"Of course I dare not be careless about Boss Cao's affairs."

"I'm not free tomorrow. Bring them to see me at the company the day after tomorrow morning."

Preparations for "The Richest Man in Xihong City" will begin after the Chinese New Year, and Cao Yu plans to decide on the leading female role for the film as soon as possible.

After the call, he and Yang Chaoyue also finished their meal.

Cao Yu glanced outside and said to the little koi, "Do you want to continue resting or go out to bask in the sun?"

"Let's get some sun."

The winter sun is very warm, and Yang Chaoyue really wants to go out and bask in some sun.

By the way, I’d like to show off to Song Zu’e and Ouyang Nana. I’m ahead of you and will be your senior in the future!

In a room not far away, Ouyang Nana was still waiting.

When he saw Cao Yu really holding Yang Chaoyue's hand and walking out of the room, a sour feeling rose in his throat.

"It's all Song Zu'e's fault. If it weren't for her, my dad would be holding my hand now!"

Ouyang Nana directly blamed Song Zu'e for her dissatisfaction, and secretly swore in her heart that she would walk ahead of Song Zu'e next time.

Holding Cao Yu's hand, Yang Chao jumped down the stairs and saw Song Zue playing with his mobile phone in the hall, with his head held high, looking like a winner.

"What's so great!"

Song Zu'e snorted disdainfully in his heart. No matter how great you, Yang Chaoyue, are, you are just a minor actor who played a supporting role.

I have become a heroine.

Although I thought so, I still felt frustrated and ran to Cao Yu immediately: "Godfather, you finally got up, where are we going to play today?"

"I'm not going anywhere today. I'm going to rest at home."

Cao Yu said this and asked people to move the tables and chairs to the garden so they could drink tea and bask in the sun.

"Until I stay at home, Dad must have been monopolized by Yang Chaoyue these two days..."

Song Zu'e felt regretful again, regretting why he fell asleep last night.

Now it seems that I can only slowly look for the right opportunity. It would be best if I can be alone with my godfather without these light bulbs.

Ouyang Nana was also depressed. She also glared at Song Zue, and sparks flew between the two.

The successful man Yang Chaoyue was basking in the sunshine comfortably, looking at the two girls, feeling very happy.

After reading for a while, she asked, "Boss, you said last time that you were going to form a girl group. When will we start preparing?"

"We'll prepare after the New Year's Day holiday."

Cao Yu took a sip of black tea and said, "After New Year's Day, students from all major universities will have their holidays one after another, which is a good time to recruit new members for the girl group."

As for Rocket Girls 101, he is only "familiar" with Yang Chaoyue, Wu Xuanyi, Meng Meiqi, and a girl who participated in "Our Song".

But this familiarity must be put in quotation marks.

People are familiar with Meng Meiqi because this woman made irresponsible remarks in a variety show facing a senior singer like Zhou Chuanxiong, which aroused the audience's disgust and controversy.

At that time, Cao Yu didn't have a good impression of this woman who wasn't a good singer. Later, there were constant scandals about her, including one about the "456" incident.

Boss Cao naturally cannot choose such a person.

Wu Xuanyi, who looks pretty, is not good at playing games, but her brain and mouth are really terrible.

Throughout the entire Rocket Girls 101, Cao Yu had a good impression of Yang Chaoyue. Although his acting skills were poor, he was a real person, except that he loved to cry.

Even without the above few, China has no shortage of beauties, let alone talented beauties. It is not a big problem to create a girl group.

What Cao Yu is hesitating about now is whether to organize a talent show called "Produce 101" based on the template of Rocket Girls' debut?

Now the Super Girl show on Mango TV has lost its popularity. If Fei'e Video holds one, the ratings will probably be very good.

At this time, Ouyang Nana interrupted and asked, "What are you talking about?"

"Let's talk about girl groups. After the Spring Festival, the company is going to form a new girl group, and I may be one of them."

Yang Chaoyue laughed proudly and showed off, wanting to prove himself to the whole village.

"Girl group?"

Ouyang Nana immediately lost interest.

In her opinion, girl groups are the lowest level of artistes and she would not participate in them.

If you want to be someone, be an actor. That’s what you pursue.

But why doesn’t godfather give me a chance?
During the two days of vacation, Cao Yu just rested at home, played ball, basked in the sun, and played poker with three girls. His life was quite comfortable.

However, Cao Yu chose to ignore the entanglement between Ouyang and Song Zue.

Naturally, I stayed with Yang Chaoyue at night, and the two girls were too embarrassed to rush in with such shameless faces.

On the 3rd, Song Zu'e returned to school to attend classes, and then waited for the filming of "The Legend of Nine States" to start.

Ouyang Nana and Yang Chaoyue also returned to the company, one to practice acting and the other to practice singing and dancing.

As soon as Cao Yu arrived at the office, Zhang Xiaotian reported that Feng Xiaogang and Lin Xinru were waiting in the two meeting rooms.

Sure enough, there were three beauties sitting next to Lin Xinru, and they all looked very beautiful.

"Xiaotian, ask Lin Xinru to wait first. I'm going to go see Feng Xiaogang."

Cao Yu gave an order and went to Feng Xiaogang's reception room first.

"Mr. Cao, Happy New Year. You look so good."

Feng Xiaogang felt envious when he saw Boss Cao looking so happy and handsome.

This kind of man is rich, handsome, and a capital tycoon. He is so lucky to be working in Feiyu Entertainment, which is full of beautiful women.

"I have limited time. Where's the script?"

Cao Yu was too lazy to say more. After sitting down, he started to read the script.

“This is the script of Youth.”

Although Boss Cao Yu had an arrogant attitude, Feng Xiaogang did not dare to show any dissatisfaction at all. He smiled and took out the script and handed it over with both hands.

He also explained: "The screenwriter of this script is the same person as the screenwriter of The Flowers of War."

Although these two days are holidays, the box office of "Mr. Six" is still not very good.

The performances of Nozomi Sasaki and Yui Aragaki at the New Year's Eve party made the audience more enthusiastic about watching this film, and the film earned more than 300 million yuan at the box office in just two days.

In contrast, Feng Xiaogang's movie only earned 120 million in two days, which is a huge gap.

In this situation, he had lost all his confidence.

Cao Yu picked up the script and found that the original name of the novel was "You Touched Me".

The script was about an art troupe, and was similar to the movies I had seen.

He quickly read it and nodded, "The script is good. What's your budget?"

"The budget this time is not high, only 130 million."

Feng Xiaogang said: "Since President Cao has approved it, we can set up a crew and select actors after the Spring Festival."

"can."

Speaking of actors, Cao Yu suddenly remembered that Feng Xiaogang once asked the actors of "Youth" to dance at a party.

Thinking of this, Cao Yu put the script down: "When the time comes, the actors should focus on Feiyu's."

"Of course."

Although using Feiyu's actors would naturally bring him fewer benefits, Feng Xiaogang dared not object.

"Okay, let's do this. The budget is 130 million, and Feiyu will invest half of it."

Cao Yu said as he stood up. Just as he was about to ask Zhang Xiaotian to see him off, he suddenly turned around and said, "Director Feng, wait until this movie "Old Cannon" is released, and settle the accounts for the past two years."

Feng Xiaogang was most afraid of being settled by Boss Cao. The two started the bet in March 2014, and it has been almost two years now.

According to the agreement, his company must achieve a profit of 100 million yuan per year.

In the past two years, he has been busy with the movie "Mr. Six". He thought that if the box office could exceed 1 billion, the profit would be at least 300 million.

Give Boss Cao 200 million, and you can have some left for yourself.

It seems that the box office will be at most 500 or 600 million. Even if we calculate it as 600 million, the box office share will be just over 200 million. After deducting the investment, the profit will be just over 100 million. In this way, I will have to put money into it.

After two years of hard work, all the money went to you, Boss Cao.

Last time I bet on "I Am Not Madame Bovary", I lost 200 million, and this time I will lose tens of millions again.

Boss Cao, you can't do all the cheating for me alone.

Even though he cursed in his heart, he had no way to do anything.

Now we can only pray that the box office of "Old Cannon" can exceed 800 million, so that it breaks even.

Cao Yu doesn't care what Director Feng will do. You must give me the money you deserve.

With this money, can't I do charity?
After receiving Feng Xiaogang, he came to the reception room where Lin Xinru was.

"Boss Cao, long time no see. You are getting more and more handsome."

Lin Xinru had been waiting for an hour, but when she saw Cao Yu come in, she quickly stood up with the three girls around her and complimented him with a smile on her face.

"Hello, Boss Cao."

The three girls also followed Lin Xinru and bowed to Boss Cao.

"Everyone, take a seat."

Cao Yu waved his hand casually and then began to look at the three girls.

I have to say that the three Taiwanese girls that Lin Xinru brought today are all very beautiful and each has her own characteristics. Two of them look very familiar to him.

Among the two familiar-looking people, one is Song Yunhua, who played Xia Zhu in "The Richest Man in Xihong City".

The other is Lin Yanrou, who played Huang Rong in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes: The 4.1 Palms of the Dragon Subduing", which has a rating of only .

It’s a pity that this girl has such a great figure that she is known as the Huang Rong with the best figure.

The third girl is actually about the same age as Ouyang Nana. She has a pure and beautiful appearance, a very jade-like temperament, and a pair of big, clear and pure eyes.

It seems that Lin Xinru has a good vision.

Just as the three girls were about to sit down, Lin Xinru said, "Introduce yourselves to Mr. Cao."

"Hello Mr. Cao, my name is Song Yunhua, I was born in 1992, and I have been an actor for more than a year."

"Hello, Mr. Cao. My name is Lin Yanrou. I was born in 1990 and have been in the industry for a year."

"Hello, Mr. Cao. My name is Li Kaixin. I was born in Taiwan in 1999. I have starred in The Legend of the Sea."

After the three people were introduced, Cao Yu had already decided on Song Yunhua in his mind and ruled out Lin Yanrou, who had played Huang Rong.

You are like this, and you still want to play Huang Rong? That would ruin my Rong'er.

Besides, although this girl looks okay, her temperament is a little worse than Song Yunhua.

As for Li Kaixin, Cao Yu asked, "What are you good at?"

Seeing that Boss Cao was interested in this girl, Lin Xinru immediately replied, "She has starred in an Apple commercial, she sings well, and has a bright future. Boss Cao, do you think she's good enough?"

"You can sing too. Do you want to join Feiyu?"

Cao Yu felt that the girl was of the right age and, since she could sing, she could become a teammate with Yang Chaoyue.

"Can I?"

This girl named Li Kaixin came here thinking she was just trying out a movie, but unexpectedly she got something unexpected.

Being able to join Feiyu Entertainment means that you can develop well in China.

This is what many artists dream of.

"of course can."

Cao Yu nodded and said with a smile: "I will find my secretary later to take you to go through the signing procedures."

When Lin Xinru saw that Boss Cao was interested in this girl, she vaguely understood that Boss Cao was young.

The last time he rejected me, it must be because he thought I was too old.

At the same time, she was secretly glad that she brought Li Kaixin with her, otherwise, Boss Cao would probably be unhappy again.

Song Yunhua and another girl named Lin Yanrou thought they had no hope when they saw that Feiyu boss only left Li Kaixin.

But this is no wonder. I am already in my twenties, and this girl is only eighteen. She must have an advantage.

The two were just feeling sorry when they heard Boss Cao say, "Song Yunhua, you stay in Lin Xinru's studio for the time being and wait for the audition notice."

"Audition notice?"

Song Yunhua was surprised. He thought he had come here in vain. Unexpectedly, he actually had the opportunity to star in Feiyu's movie?

"Okay, that's it."

After Cao Yu finished making the arrangements, he stood up and said to Lin Xinru, "I'm sorry to bother you this time."

"What are you talking about, Boss Cao? It's no trouble."

This compliment made Lin Xinru feel flattered.

After watching Boss Cao leave, Lin Xinru heaved a sigh of relief and spread her hands to Lin Yanrou: "There's nothing I can do. Boss Cao doesn't like you. You should go back to Taiwan tomorrow."

After that, he said to Li Kaixin: "You are very lucky, but I recommended you, so you must perform well and don't embarrass me. As long as Boss Cao can give you a little support, your future development will be limitless. Do you understand?"

"I see."

Although Li Kaixin is not very old, she can also recognize Lin Xinru's voice-over.

How to behave?

It's just the things in the entertainment industry.

After giving the girl instructions, Lin Xinru took Song Yunhua and left.

On the way, she said to Song Yunhua, who got the audition opportunity, "Xiao Song, you are not too old. Next time you see Boss Cao, you must seize this opportunity."

"Ah."

In fact, even without Lin Xinru telling him, Song Yunhua also understood the unspoken rules of the entertainment industry.

Taiwan is too small. If you want to do well in the mainland like your predecessors like Lin Xinru, you must seize the opportunity.

Maybe it will soar into the sky.

Cao Yu returned to the office and immediately called the manager of the variety show department.

"Today I plan to organize a program called "Produce 101" to select members for Rocket Girls 101. The format of this variety show is like this."

Cao Yu briefly introduced the variety show: "The program is in the form of a talent show. After interviews and screening, 101 people are officially born. These 101 girls grow up under the training of celebrity mentors, and finally 11 female trainees are selected through popularity voting to form a new girl group and officially debut."

"Mr. Cao, this is a good idea."

Although Cao Yu made some changes to the original "Creation 101", Manager Li from the Variety Department still applauded after hearing this idea.

This kind of program sounds more topical than Super Girl and will definitely be a hit.

Cao Yu smiled and said, "Then leave it to you to prepare. While the students are on vacation, let's start signing up for the contestants. The age requirement is to be over 18 years old."

"I see!"

Manager Li agreed, and after returning, he immediately followed his boss's request to plan the variety show and set up the "Creation 101" program team.

The next day, Feiyu Entertainment announced a nationwide recruitment plan for contestants for the variety show "Creation 101".

Although only 101 girls were finally shortlisted for the competition, the program team received nearly application forms within just one day of the recruitment plan being issued.

Among them were students from various art schools, trainees from other companies, and even some foreign girls, all of whom sent in their registration information just for Feiyu’s reputation.

Being able to participate in variety shows organized by Feiyu Entertainment and Feie Video, even if you are eliminated in the end, you have been exposed once.

As long as you are popular, you might be able to become an Internet celebrity.

By the third day, registration forms were pouring in like snowflakes, with the number of applicants exceeding 50,000.

Although Qiduo debuted in South Korea, they have now become a girl group under Feiyu. Their successful example will make girls who want to become famous flock to them.
Besides, Ju Jingyi and Li Yitong are so popular among the members, and they also fantasize about being as popular as them one day.

"so many people?"

After hearing the report, Cao Yu also lamented, why are there so many people who want to be stars?

He was also helpless about this.

He said to the manager of the variety show department, "Let's have a preliminary round first, then an open round. However, the criteria for selecting contestants is to make them look as dignified as possible and not as childish as possible."

"I see."

Although Manager Li feels that young beauty has a bigger market now, the boss's requirement is the final requirement.

Just when the contestants of "Produce 101" were signing up, Zhao Lusi, who had been forced to practice her acting skills in the company, became lively.

"Should I also sign up secretly?"

She thought that she would have good resources by joining Feiyu, but unexpectedly she was asked to practice her acting skills and lines all the time.

Zhao Lusi was a little impatient with such boring things.

She believes that by participating in variety shows and eventually debuting as a member of a girl group, maybe in a year or two, she will become as popular as Ju Jingyi.
