China Entertainment: I became a capital tycoon

Chapter 798 796. Ruth is disappointing, Taiwanese girl is bold

Wu Jinyan hooked up with Yu Zheng, hoping to make a name for herself in the entertainment industry and become a top star.

Li Wei hooked up with Boss Cao and has become a first-line star.

The gap between the two is incomparable.

Therefore, who in the entertainment industry does not understand the interests involved?
Especially the artists of Feiyu Entertainment, they know better that the boss is the one who can decide the future of the artists.

Although Li Kaixin has just entered the entertainment industry not long ago, she understands all these principles, and when she came to China, Lin Xinru also reminded her to be sensible.

Of course, being sensible is not enough, you also need opportunities.

She is not the only one who wants to seize this opportunity. There are many other girls who want fame and fortune.

Love in the entertainment industry is an illusory thing.

There are so many roles in "Story of Yanxi Palace" that the auditions alone take more than a month, and only a part of them have been auditioned so far.

Because there were so many people auditioning, Li Kaixin, who came to try her luck, never got her turn.

"Since the boss signed me, he should give me a chance, but I have been with Feiyu for so long, why doesn't he care..."

Li Kaixin was a little confused. Logically, there were three of them who came to China together, and only herself and Song Yunhua were left. He should have taken a liking to us, but why did the boss ignore her!
During this period, she also asked Lin Xinru, but the other party said that she had already handed herself over to Boss Cao and she had to rely on her own efforts in the future.

This is the attitude that the goods are sold and we are not responsible for them?

However, this girl's parents divorced when she was young, and she developed a determined character. She believed that as long as she worked hard, she would succeed.

I heard that the company has a comedy movie called "The Richest Man in Xihong City", in which the female lead is a Taiwanese girl. Although she may have to compete with Song Yunhua, the chances are probably 50-50.

If "Story of Yanxi Palace" is not selected, there is still a chance for this movie.

But it’s best to have a good relationship with the boss...

After returning from Korea, Cao Yu has been very busy these days.

There are a lot of things going on in the group, mainly the Feiyu Fresh Supermarket. This is a major event that benefits the country and the people, and we cannot be careless at all.

Then, Douyin’s live broadcast function has also begun testing and will be officially launched in June.

Therefore, he spent much less time at the entertainment company during this period.

It was something Cao Yu expected that Li Wei got the female lead in "Story of Yanxi Palace". Although he accompanied Li Wei for dinner and congratulated her, it was not a big deal.

Although one can make money in the entertainment industry, for Cao Yu, giving back to society is the focus now.

However, the news that auditions would be held for the two film projects, "The Richest Man in Xihong City" and "Youth", still spread within the company.

The heroine of the first part is a Taiwanese girl, and only Song Yunhua and Li Kaixin can compete, but "Youth" is different, as there are several female characters.

But several characters had to be good at dancing, and for a while, a trend of practicing dancing emerged in the company.

Even if I can't play the leading female role on the big screen, I can play a supporting role. The starting point of the big screen is higher than that of TV dramas.

A few days later, Cao Yu was finally done with his work, and the opening date for the second batch of fresh food supermarkets was set, which was May Day.

This time, a total of thirty supermarkets will open in six cities across the country.

"Mr. Cao, when will the casting for Youth be held?"

As soon as Cao Yu returned to the entertainment company, Feng Xiaogang came to him in person, looking quite anxious.

"Are you in such a hurry?"

"Boss Cao, once the actors for this play are selected, they will have to train for three months to learn dancing, so it's better to decide on the roles as soon as possible so that you can feel at ease sooner."

Feng Xiaogang was indeed very anxious. The final box office of "Old Cannon" was only 590 million yuan, failing to exceed 600 million yuan.

All in all, the movie made a profit of more than 100 million yuan in two years, which means that I still have to pay out money.

Cao Yu almost emptied out all his family assets.

As "Youth" is being produced together with Feiyu Entertainment this time, he does not want to lose money, and cannot lose money, so he attaches more importance to it than any of his previous movies.

Cao Yu smiled and said, "You know, we just happen to have another movie called 'The Richest Man in Xihong City'. Since you are so anxious, I will arrange to make both movies together."

"Mr. Cao, it's fine to cast for both films, but they have to be released at different times."

Feng Xiaogang was shocked. "The Richest Man in Xihong City" is a comedy, and with the previous film "Charlotte's Troubles" as a foundation, this one will definitely be a hit.

If the two really collide, I will be in trouble.

If you, Cao Yu, bet with me, you won't lose anything. I will be the one who suffers the most.

Cao Yu patted Feng Xiaogang on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry. I plan to release "The Richest Man in Xihong City" during the Lunar New Year holiday this year. Since the actors of "Youth" have to train together, they will definitely not meet each other."

"That's good."

Feng Xiaogang felt relieved, and he suddenly felt honored when Boss Cao took a photo of him.

The casting date is set for April 20th.

After arranging this matter, Cao Yu planned to go upstairs to take a look. He had heard that dancing practice was very popular in the company recently, so he wanted to see if there was any suitable candidate.

In addition, the first batch of girls auditioned for "Produce 101" have been sorted out, a total of people.

Of these five hundred people, nearly four-fifths will be eliminated, leaving only 101 people to participate in the final variety show.

When I went upstairs, I heard the sound of music coming from several practice rooms.

He pushed open Qiduo's door first. Seven girls were rehearsing a dance from the 1970s and 1980s.

"You guys also want to act in Youth?"

Cao Yu immediately understood their thoughts.

Although the script of "Youth" has not been made public, the story tells about the events of the military art troupe in the late 1970s and early 1980s.

Therefore, this kind of dance must be outstanding. Only in this way can you stand out during the audition.

Several girls laughed and said, "Boss, this is a movie directed by Feng Xiaogang, of course we want to act in it."

Of course, everyone who enters the entertainment industry has the dream of becoming a star, otherwise why would they come in?

"It's good to have ideas."

Cao Yu said, pulling a chair and sitting down: "You guys dance, I'll watch."

When she came here, she remembered that Li Yitong had played a soldier. If possible, it would be a good choice to let Li Yitong try for it.

You should always give priority to your own woman.

Seven girls from different backgrounds are practicing a classic dance "Song of Yimeng".

Li Yitong and An Yuexi graduated from the Beijing Dance Academy. They have excellent dancing skills and control each movement quite well.

Although the others have acquired certain dance skills after several years of training, there is still a big gap between them and the two of them.

After watching for a while, Cao Yu thought Li Yitong danced very well and had a good figure, but he didn't know how she would perform in a period drama.

Even if she can't be the female lead at that time, she can still be the second or third female lead.

Another good dancer is An Yuexi, who is good in all aspects, but looks a little cute. I wonder if the military uniform will make her look disrespectful.

However, we can let her try it when the time comes.

As for the others, they can’t even do the big jumps in the dance properly, so they definitely can’t perform in “Youth”.

Even Ju Jingyi, who is very popular now, can only act in idol dramas at most, let alone movies. Even her performance in serious dramas is lacking.

"Nice dance."

After a few people finished practicing a somewhat difficult song, "Ode to Yimeng", Cao Yu praised them and then said to Li Yitong, "Come out for a moment."

When everyone saw the boss calling Li Yitong away alone, they started talking about it.

"Did the boss let Yitong play the female lead in Youth?"

"Probably."

"I'm so envious. This is a big movie. If Yitong can really act in it, her status in the entertainment industry will be even higher."

Several people said this, but An Yuexi was thinking differently from others.

She was just a little envious of how nice her boss was to Li Yitong.

Outside the door, Cao Yu was telling Li Yitong: "You did a good job dancing to 'Ode to Yimeng' just now, but the movie 'Youth' has a lot of dancing scenes, you still need to work harder."

"I see."

Li Yitong was quite confident in her dancing skills, but she didn't expect that the boss would be dissatisfied.

However, when the boss said this, she nodded happily and said, "Honey, are you going to let me play the leading lady?"

"You have to strive for it yourself. Anyway, just practice the dance well."

It’s not a good idea for Cao Yu to say goodbye now. What if there is someone more suitable?
The most important thing is that the movie is well made.

"I must practice well."

Li Yitong agreed, looked around to see if there was anyone around, secretly kissed Cao Yu, and hurried back to the practice room.

"Yitong, congratulations, are you the chosen female lead?"

"Becoming the heroine of a movie is like riding a rocket."

"Yitong, please treat me...

The teammates immediately gathered around and started chattering and congratulating.

Li Yitong smiled embarrassedly and said, "No, the boss just told me to practice dancing well and said there would be a chance."

"Yitong, just confess. We won't compete with you for it."

Everyone knows a little about the relationship between Li Yitong and the boss, so they don't believe that the boss called Li Yitong out and just said these things.

Especially Ju Jingyi, she couldn't help feeling sad.

"I have nothing to recruit, it's just the way it is."

After Li Yitong finished speaking, he stopped chatting with everyone and prepared to start the next practice. An Yuexi walked to Li Yitong and said, "Yitong, the boss just asked you to practice well. Did you mention me?"

"No."

Li Yitong just finished answering subconsciously, and suddenly realized something: "Yuexi, you...you don't like the boss too, do you?"

"No. He is just my idol."

An Yuexi's face turned red, but she still refused to admit it.

Li Yitong looked at this good-looking teammate and said, "Look at your appearance, you still say no?"

"Really? Don't let your imagination run wild."

Although An Yuexi didn't know how many times she had met her boss in her dreams, she really didn't want to compete with her teammates for the man.

A few nights ago, she dreamed that she was dating her boss at home, and Li Yitong was knocking on the door, shouting, "You have the ability to steal men, why can't you open the door?"

The movements are very weird.

After that dream, she was really afraid that one day this dream would come true.

On the other side, Cao Yu left Qiduo's practice room and passed by several artists' rooms, most of whom were practicing dancing.

This is actually a good phenomenon. It will be of great help for actors to improve their body shape if they practice dancing more.

But when he just walked to the door of the new artist's practice room, he was stunned.

In the room, several newcomers including Ouyang Nana, Li Kaixin, Yang Chaoyue and others were practicing dancing. Everyone, including Ouyang, was working very hard.

Only Zhao Lusi sat aside, watching and eating snacks while shaking her head.

"This Zhao Rusi has made it into the top 101 of Produce , and she's still in the mood to eat? Isn't she afraid of losing face?"

Seeing this situation, Cao Yu frowned and pushed the door open.

"boss"

Several of them stopped dancing and greeted the boss.

Li Kaixin even wanted to come over and ask the boss when the casting for "The Richest Man in Xihong City" would start.

Yesterday, she auditioned for the set of "Story of Yanxi Palace" and only got a very small supporting role, with only about a week's worth of scenes, so her goal is this movie.

On the other hand, Zhao Rusi saw the boss and ran over, hugging Cao Yu's arm: "I was just supervising their dance."

Although everyone knew that this girl was pretending to be cute, everyone was still stunned when they saw this scene.

Did you guys get started right away?
"What right do you have to supervise?"

Faced with Zhao Lusi pretending to be cute, Cao Yu pulled her hand away and questioned her with a cold face.

"I"

Zhao Lusi was startled by the question, and then said: "I can't dance, so I can only supervise them."

“There are quite a lot of reasons.”

Cao Yu snorted coldly: "If you can't dance, can't you practice? When you are filming in the future, will you do that kind of magic circle of love?"

Zhao Lusi finally lowered her head after hearing the harsh words from her boss.

Others, however, found it too good to be true.

You deserve it. You still supervise us. Just like the boss said, what right do you have to supervise us?
If you are lazy, just say you are lazy and make excuses.

At this time, Li Kaixin felt that the boss was really charming.

"I want to be an actor in the future. What's wrong with spinning in circles? Isn't dancing just for show? There's no need to practice so hard. I want to be cute in the future."

Although Zhao Lusi lowered her head, she still lowered it with some dissatisfaction, muttering something quietly.

Although Cao Yu was half a head taller than Zhao Lusi, he still noticed her little move: "What? Are you not convinced? Do you think you were cute just now and can be cute in the future? With this attitude, how many years can you be cute?"

"Can the boss read lips? Or tell what I'm thinking?"

Zhao Lusi was shocked. Is the boss so powerful?
Cao Yu was really speechless about this woman.

You have played a significant role in turning future domestic entertainment idol dramas into cheap aesthetics and cheesy dramas produced on assembly lines.

If you become this famous, "ancient idol drama" may become a derogatory term and a representative of bad dramas that everyone would hate.

Finally, he said, "Whether it's acting or dancing, you better practice well. I'll come to check after a while. If you don't practice well, you'll have to wait!"

After saying that, he pushed the door and left.

Zhao Lusi looked at the boss's back and thought, how to check? Is he trying to seduce me?
Great, the opportunity has come. If I could have such a good opportunity, I would really practice hard.

Li Kaixin finally saw the boss once, and of course she wanted to seize this opportunity, so she hurried out the door: "Boss, wait."

"Are you alright?"

Cao Yu turned around and saw that it was this Taiwanese girl, and her expression softened slightly.

"Boss, I want to ask when the casting for "The Richest Man in Xihong City" will start? What are the requirements? I plan to give it a try."

"You going to try it?"

Cao Yu looked at the girl. Although she looked pretty and more mature than her peers, she looked like a student after all.

“Well, I haven’t read the script. I’ve been practicing acting and dancing recently, but as long as the boss gives me a chance, I won’t let you down.”

Li Kaixin has decided to be more sensible as Lin Xinru said.

But it’s still a bit difficult to ask to be seduced directly, so I can only express my thoughts in this euphemistic way.

Cao Yu understood what she meant, but did not agree: "The heroine of "The Richest Man in Xihong City" is a professional woman who has been working for several years. Do you think you can do it?"

"Is that so?"

Li Kaixin suddenly felt lost. If she were a professional woman, she would definitely not be able to do it.

Cao Yu smiled and said, "Don't be disappointed. I'm very beautiful and I've passed the audition for Produce 101. I believe you can definitely make it into the top . When I signed you, I planned everything for you. You can debut as an idol first, and when you've practiced your acting skills, you can act in an idol drama first."

"thank you boss."

Hearing that the boss had helped her plan her career path and praised her for her good looks, Li Kaixin boldly said, "If I have the chance, I would like to thank the boss for taking care of me."

"talk later."

Although the girl had a pair of beautiful long legs, Cao Yu still did not agree.

What would happen if all the artists in the company were like this?

Besides, how long have I known you?
After saying that, Cao Yu left to watch other artists.

"Boss, didn't you understand what I meant? Or was I too direct? Didn't you just say that you were beautiful?"

Li Kaixin stared at the boss blankly, feeling confused.

After Cao Yu left, he wanted to laugh in his heart: "This Taiwanese girl is quite brave."

But seriously, Li Kaixin is a very promising actress. If she can be promoted well, she will definitely be better than Zhao Lusi.

This was what he had in mind.

I originally wanted to change Zhao Lusi, but I didn't expect that girl to really disappoint me.

Afterwards, I walked around this floor for a while and found that other actors such as Zhong Chuxi had practiced well. It seems that the competition in this audition for "Youth" will be very fierce.

There are still a few days left before the audition for "Youth".

During this period, Cao Yu also learned about the post-production of "Dying to Survive", "The Eight Hundred", and "The Love Master".

"The Love Master" has been completed and can begin promotion. The release date is scheduled for early July.

Because the release date of "Jade Dynasty" produced by Ali Pictures is also scheduled for the summer vacation in early July, it is being promoted on various channels.

The production of the movie "Dying to Survive" is basically complete and will be released in August.

"Eight Hundred" can be released around September 18th, which is not only meaningful but also covers the National Day period.

Hangcheng.

"Boss Ma, Cao Yu has put their new movie "The Love Master" and our "Lord of the Rings" on the same schedule."

At the Ali headquarters, Guo Xiaosi, who learned the release date of "The Love Master", found Ma Yun as soon as possible.

"What? You don't have confidence?"

Ma Yun noticed that Guo Xiaosi looked worried and asked unhappily.

Guo Xiaosi had no choice but to say: "Boss Ma, of course I have confidence in our film, but Feiyu's reputation."

"It's good to have confidence. How can a movie like ours with such a huge investment not be as good as their small-budget romance movie?"

Ma Yun is actually very optimistic about "Jade Dynasty".

Whether it is the scale of investment, special effects, or beauties, they are all gimmicks.

Besides, did you, Guo Xiaosi, make that much money with both of your Tiny Times movies? Why not with Lord of Thrones?
Guo Xiaosi knew in his heart that all Feiyu's movies were good. The reason why "Tiny Times" had a good reputation was because Boss Cao asked him to revise the script and found a good producer.

Can "Jade Dynasty" really be compared?

He immediately said, "Boss Ma, I plan to take the lead actors to various variety shows to increase our popularity. Please approve some more publicity funds for me."

"If you want money, just tell me. Why beat around the bush?"

Ma Yun was helpless. The budget of "Jade Dynasty" has already exceeded, and you still ask me for money.

But in order to make the film a big hit, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and give it.

It’s because Ali doesn’t have much money.

Compared to Guo Xiaosi's worries, Cao Yu is very confident.

Guo Xiaosi, wait until "Jade Dynasty" is released and see how you are scolded and cried.
