China Entertainment: I became a capital tycoon

Chapter 799. Xia Zhu's Selection

Generally speaking, the Lunar New Year and summer vacation periods are the two most prosperous time periods in the film market.

Although there were no Feiyu Entertainment movies in this year's Lunar New Year period, "Shin Godzilla" and "Slam Dunk 2" both helped the market with box office revenues of over billion yuan.

But in March, there are generally no good movies released, but this year's "Snow White" still caused a certain amount of heat, and can be regarded as a warm-up for the May Day period.

Time quickly came to April 20th, and many movies that were released on May Day were preparing to take advantage of this popularity and make a fortune, because this May Day, there were still no movies released by Feiyu Entertainment.

Among them are Bai Jingting's "Whose Youth Is Not Confused", Lin Xinru's "The Phantom of the Demon Palace", the remake of "My New Sassy Girl", Xiao Mingge's "The Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons Strike Back", and so on.

In addition to more than a dozen domestic films, there are also Hollywood blockbusters such as "The Jungle Book", etc.

These films all want to make a fortune during this May Day holiday, so they have stepped up their publicity efforts.

Unexpectedly, during this period, the news that the film directed by Feng Xiaogang and co-invested by Feiyu Entertainment and Mela Media had officially started casting suppressed the popularity of all the movies to be released.

Who would have thought that these movies that are about to be released or have already been released are not as good as a casting. This made Feng Xiaogang finally realize the terrible influence of Boss Cao.

If a casting choice attracts so much attention, it will definitely be a big hit after it is released.

It seems that clinging to Boss Cao was the right choice for me.

Although Boss Cao cheated me out of a lot of money, I should always put the money first.

Seeing that the audition news is all over the internet, Brother Chen Kai, who is busy on the set of "Legend of the Demon Cat", is a little jealous.

He also promoted how good his movie is, and that it was co-produced with Japan, but since the filming started, it has not received much attention.

Director Chen was browsing his phone during his break, but he was thinking about a problem in his mind.

"Feng Xiaogang's movies have received so much attention, how capable is this guy? Isn't he just climbing up the big tree of Feiyu Entertainment? What if I have a good relationship with Boss Cao?"

Now in Brother Chen Kai’s heart, Cao Yu is no longer the thief Cao, but has long become Boss Cao.

Besides, his son is about to grow up. Although he has resources, Boss Cao is the big shot in the entertainment industry today.

If his son wants to develop well, he must have a good relationship with Cao Yu.

Otherwise, what will happen to my son?
As for the previous conflicts, in his opinion they are over. Similarly, people should look forward.

In the entertainment industry today, who has the influence of Boss Cao?
Unfortunately, Boss Cao not only did not attend various award ceremonies during this period, but also did not attend the meetings of the Film Association. He also wanted to meet Cao Yu, but he had no chance.

On the other hand, the reason why the casting of "Youth" is so popular is that actresses make up the majority of the cast.

The crew's requirements for actresses are that they must be around 20 years old, have a sweet appearance, be professional dancers, and have a certain performance foundation.

Although the requirements were not low, on the day of the audition, almost all the young dance students in the entertainment industry showed up.

Even some men who wanted to see beautiful women came to the Feiyu Theater to feast their eyes.

Not only men come to join in the fun, there are actually more girls.

Because many people heard that Boss Cao would also come on the first day of casting.

Men come here to see beautiful women, but many girls come here just to take a look at Boss Cao.

This time as a producer, Cao Yu came to Feiyu Theater on the day of the audition. He was stunned by the sight of thousands of girls pursuing their dreams and the fans around them holding their photos.

"Oh my god, there are so many people here, and it seems like many of them are here to see me?"

Before Cao Yu got off the car, he saw that the area around the theater was crowded with people, and the scene was astonishing.

"It's because dear is so popular."

Zhang Xiaotian also saw the terrible scene outside and the women holding photos of their men, and felt very proud.

"It's too enthusiastic and a bit exaggerated."

Cao Yu shook his head helplessly. As soon as he got off the car, he was greeted by screams and shouts that made his ears buzz.

"Boss Cao! I love you!"

"Husband I love you!"

"Husband! Husband!"

"Cao Yu! Cao Yu, look here, look here!"

"He smiled at me. So handsome."

When Cao Yu's fans saw their idol getting out of the car, they all went crazy. If the security guards hadn't tried desperately to stop them, they would have rushed over.

Sure enough, women are more crazy than men when it comes to chasing after celebrities.

"Hello everyone!"

Facing the enthusiastic fans, Cao Yu was all smiles, waved to everyone, and occasionally shook hands with some of them.

Although he has always wanted to keep a low profile, unfortunately his strength does not allow it.

Then just be casual.

"Ahhhhh."

The fan whose hand Cao Yu shook screamed excitedly on the spot, attracting many envious glances.

Under the gazes and cheers of fanatical fans, Zhang Xiaotian proudly followed his boss into the theater.

Zhang Xiaotian really enjoyed the feeling of being the center of attention.

Although I am just a secretary, I am not an ordinary secretary after all, but a secretary with whom I have a close relationship.

Walking into the theater, Feng Xiaogang was the first to greet him: "Mr. Cao, there are too many people. Shall we start now?"

"You start first. I'll go watch "The Richest Man in Xihong City."

Both "Youth" and "The Richest Man in Xihong City" are casting today, but the former is on a bigger scale right now, while the second one is basically casting people from the entertainment industry.

The male lead, Shen Teng, has been confirmed, the second is the emcee in "Charlotte's Troubles", and the other actors have been invited, leaving only the female lead.

After hearing what he said, Feng Xiaogang could only say, "Then I'll pick one first. I'll talk to you when Mr. Cao is done with his work."

"you go first."

Cao Yu will come and take a look today. Anyway, it is up to him to decide the actors in the end, so there is no need for him to stay here every day.

Feiyu Theater is very large. In addition to the largest stage, there are many small stages.

It's very busy here these days, as all Feiyu Entertainment dramas will have auditions here.

Most of the variety shows are also recorded here.

Cao Yu went directly to the audition site of "The Richest Man in Xihong City", where there were fewer people.

Apart from some people who invited the main actors to come and negotiate terms, there were basically not many people.

"Good day, boss."

As soon as I came in, I saw a pretty young lady looking around. When she saw Cao Yu, she immediately came over.

"Li Kaixin, why are you here?"

Cao Yu was stunned. He had already told the girl in front of him that she was not suitable for the role of Xia Zhu.

"Boss Cao, I came here today to see the excitement and see if I can be selected by the crew of Youth."

In fact, Li Kaixin just wanted to make her presence felt in front of her boss. As for wanting to give it a try, it was just an excuse.

Only when you are familiar with your boss can you have more opportunities.

"It's okay to give it a try. Watching other people dance can give yourself some motivation."

Cao Yu didn't think much about it. After saying it casually, he prepared to go to the lounge and wait for the audition to officially begin.

But just as he and Li Kaixin were talking here, Song Yunhua, who was not far away, saw this situation and felt a little pressured.

She has read the script and found that the heroine in "Charlotte's Troubles" is a professional woman.

Although Li Kaixin is a little young, if the boss really wants her to act, maybe the problem can be solved through makeup.

Mainly, Lin Xinru said that the boss likes young girls.

I am already 24 years old and have no age advantage. What if the boss designates Li Kaixin?
Just as I was thinking about it, the boss was already walking towards me.

Song Yunhua quickly calmed herself down, straightened her clothes, waited for the boss to come over, and hurriedly greeted him, "Hello, boss."

"it is good."

"Boss, I have something I want to ask you."

"what's up?"

"I've read the script for the movie I'm auditioning for today, but I've never acted in a comedy. I heard from the company that you have great acting skills and have directed If You Are the One. Can you give me some pointers?"

"Guide you?"

When Cao Yu heard this request, he remembered the original press conference of "The Richest Man in Xihong City" where Shen Teng complained about Song Yunhua.

It is said that letting people without comedic talent perform comedy is a disaster.

In Cao Yu's opinion, although Song Yunhua's comedic talent is a little lacking, she is not at all comparable to Ma Li.

But judging from the character's personality and characteristics, Taiwanese girl Song Yunhua is more suitable for Xia Zhu.

If it weren't for this reason, he would definitely let Ma Li play the role.

But Song Yunhua's comedic talent.
Cao Yu stared at her for a while and said with a smile: "Comedy requires talent. The director will tell you how to act when the time comes. All you need is confidence."

"Boss, I'm really worried that I won't perform well in the audition, can you help me?"

Song Yunhua is not too old now, and Taiwanese girls are good at acting coquettishly.

Cao Yu asked: "Which part are you auditioning for?"

“It’s the scene where they set off fireworks on the balcony.”

"This scene."

The script was written by Cao Yu, and was basically adapted from the original movie and the American movie "Brewster's Millions". Cao Yu had also watched the movie several times, so of course he knew the scene she was talking about.

This scene is the beginning of the love between the hero and heroine.

Cao Yu was really worried that this girl who Shen Teng said had no talent for comedy wouldn't be able to act well, so he agreed, "Okay, you act it out first and I'll take a look."

Song Yunhua looked around and said, "Boss, there are too many people here, why don't we go to your lounge."

"Alright."

This is an aisle, and it is really inappropriate to let girls perform here.

After entering the lounge, Song Yunhua glanced at the secretary Zhang Xiaotian who followed him in, and his heart moved. He whispered, "Boss, there are other people here. I feel a little embarrassed."

"It's not like you haven't acted before, what are you afraid of?"

"This is my first time filming in the mainland, I'm a little nervous." "Okay, Xiaotian, go to the audition place and wait for me."

Cao Yu planned to see what tricks this little Taiwanese girl was playing.

"Okay Mr. Cao."

Although Zhang Xiaotian agreed verbally, he knew in his heart that this woman was deliberately trying to get him away and she definitely had no good intentions.

She cursed Cao Yu as a vixen in her heart, poured him a cup of tea, and then left.

"click"

Song Yunhua sent the boss's secretary away and even locked the door.

"hehe."

Cao Yu almost laughed out loud. Could it be that, as he expected, there was going to be trouble here?

However, Song Yunhua's appearance is average, she is lively, cute and attractive, and her long legs are snow-white and straight.

If you really want to cause trouble, I won't be polite.

"Start your show."

Cao Yu picked up the tea, leaned back on the sofa, and wanted to see what this woman would do.

Song Yunhua picked up the script, looked at it, and then raised his hand: "Wang Duoyu, do you want to pick me up?"

"stop!"

After performing the first paragraph, Cao Yu stopped her: "Why are you pouting? Why do you look so fierce? You should be more surprised."

Maybe because she tries to be cute too much, this girl likes to pout, which looks a bit weird.

"Oh"

Song Yunhua nodded and suddenly suggested, "Boss, can you act with me?"

"You play it yourself."

Cao Yucai has no obligation to act with you. If you act well, I will use you.

If that doesn't work, there are plenty of women in the entertainment industry, and you don't necessarily have to be the only one.

"Ok."

Song Yunhua originally wanted to interact with the boss, but failed. He could only adjust his state and re-act the scene.

During the period, Cao Yu taught her some small movements and expression management, and in the end the girl's overall performance was pretty good.

After the other party finished acting, Cao Yu said, "The actors in this play are all very good. If you can pass the audition, when the filming officially starts, ask the others for advice and try your best to play the role and make the heroine feel present."

"Thank you for the advice, boss."

Song Yunhua bent down and bowed 90 degrees to Cao Yu, so that the boss could see his broad mind through his collar.

But Cao Yu didn't even look at it, he just lowered his head to drink tea, which made the girl feel disappointed. She had to deliberately ask: "Boss, can I get the heroine this way?"

"You have to fight for this yourself."

Cao Yu said this just to tell her that she should act well.

But Song Yunhua misunderstood. The "strive" in her mind and the "strive" in Boss Cao's mouth were completely different.

She hesitated for only a few seconds before she bent down again and fell directly on Cao Yu, grabbing the hand of this entertainment industry tycoon and placing it on her thigh.

"Boss, is this okay?"

"."

Although Cao Yu had expected that this woman would do something outrageous, he didn't expect her to be so direct and so outrageous.

Are you planning to pounce on me?

Taiwanese girls are really open-minded.

But this woman's legs are indeed very smooth and feel pretty good to touch.

Since you are like this, why should I be polite?
Cao Yu tore off the woman's clothes, revealing her snow-white face and a fairly good heart.

"Boss, no."

"why no?"

You think your rudeness will make girls unhappy, but in fact they just want to be reserved.

Cao Yu understood this and pressed him down on the sofa.
……

At the audition location, director Yan Fei and others were waiting for the boss, but an hour had passed and the boss still hadn't shown up.

Is he asleep?

"Vixies! They are all vixens!"

In front of Zhang Xiaotian were torn pieces of paper, and he cursed every time he tore a piece.

She roughly guessed what the boss was doing now.

But she had no choice because she knew that this was the entertainment industry.

More than half an hour later, Cao Yu appeared.

“How was the casting?”

Cao Yu came to the director and picked up the information.

In this movie "The Richest Man in Xihong City", many supporting roles are composed of members of Happy Twist, except for a few main actors.

"The others have been basically decided, except for you, the hostess, to take a look at the list."

As a director, Yan Fei basically selects actors according to the boss's requirements.

"Then let's start the audition for the female lead."

Cao Yu put down the information, sat on the chair brought by Zhang Xiaotian, and savored the feeling just now.

I have to say, sometimes a little violence feels good.

That "Xia Zhu" is really good. She looks pure, but I didn't expect her to be so open-minded. The process just now was very pleasant.

Moreover, Cao Yuzhen also guided Song Yunhua's acting skills, asking her how to use small movements and expressions to enhance her presence when performing.

After all, in the original movie "The Richest Man in Xihong City", the heroine Xia Zhu's presence is not as important as the second female lead Shasha.

Not long after, Song Yunhua finally appeared.

However, the white coat he was wearing before has now turned pink, and his short skirt has turned into long pants.

Because the white one had been torn, and the bruises on the knees had to be covered with trousers.

Fortunately, with Boss Cao's guidance, Song Yunhua's performance in the audition was indeed good. Not only did he play the role well, but he also showed off a little bit.

Sure enough, the heroine is hers.

"Sister Yunhua, congratulations."

Song Yunhua, who got the female lead, walked out of the audition place and ran into Li Kaixin who was watching the fun.

"Thank you. How are you? Why didn't you try it just now?"

Song Yunhua was still a little proud. Just as Lin Xinru said, as long as he could seize the opportunity, he would succeed.

I seized this opportunity.

Mainly, there are unexpected surprises.

That is, I just flew into the sky and floated in the clouds several times. That feeling was simply wonderful.

Li Kaixin smiled and said, "The boss said I'm not suitable. I came here just to see the excitement and try my luck with the crew of Youth."

"Oh"

Song Yunhua hesitated for a moment, and finally swallowed back the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

It is better not to share your successful experience, otherwise you will have one more competitor.

Who made Li Kaixin younger than herself?

She asked, "How was the audition for Youth?"

"There are too many people. The information has been submitted and the shooting will be at 11 o'clock in the morning four days later."

"so many people?"

Song Yunhua was shocked when he heard that the auditions for Feiyu's contracted artists would be scheduled for four days later.

At the same time, I was also glad that I listened to the advice of senior Lin Xinru.

Seniors are indeed seniors.

"Yeah, the girls who came to audition were all so pretty and they danced really well. I was under so much pressure."

Li Kaixin just watched the audition of "Youth" for a while, and then she realized that what a senior named Jia Jingwen said was right.

There are far more beautiful women in China than in Taiwan.

"Try Harder."

When Song Yunhua left, he did not tell the little girl about his shortcut.

At another venue, there was an audition for "Youth", and there were so many beautiful women singing and dancing.

Feng Xiaogang even felt a little dizzy.

Among the people who auditioned this morning, the actors from Feiyu Entertainment were truly the best.

Not only does she have excellent acting skills, but her dancing moves are also impeccable.

Among them is one called Zhong Chuxi, and he even thinks he can directly play the second female lead.

There are also Chen Yuqi, Song Qian and others who are also very good at dancing and can also be used as alternatives.

Among the actors who came to audition from other companies, there was also Yang Caiyu, and he also thought she was good.

For the entire morning, Director Feng felt as if he was overwhelmed by the array of flowers.

And Miao Miao, the person he wanted to promote and who had acted in a movie with his wife Xu Fan, has not yet appeared.

He planned to wait for Boss Cao to arrive before letting this girl appear.

Who knows, maybe Boss Cao will like it by then.
