China Entertainment: I became a capital tycoon

Chapter 814 812. Feiyu’s year-end party was a big hit, “Chi Ling” and “Legend of the Demon Cat” were released together

More than 400 million viewers have flocked to the live broadcast room of Feiyu Group's year-end party.

Everyone is waiting for Uncle Benshan’s skit.

I have been waiting for this day for too long.

Now that Uncle Benshan has come on stage, the atmosphere has reached its peak both in person and in the live broadcast room.

Today, Uncle Benshan is performing the skit "Dowry".

Although this old man, who has appeared on the Spring Festival Gala more than a dozen times, is over 60 years old, he is in very good spirits, performs with ease, and seems to be enjoying the process.

Especially on this stage, there is not as much pressure as on the Spring Festival Gala.

But his performance was as wonderful as ever.

His apprentice Song Xiaobao also gave a hilarious performance.

"Dowry is a woman's bottom line. My daughter will never marry without it."

"You want a riot of colour and a touch of green. Do you want me to have some green on my head in the future?"

"I thought love was the most important thing, but I didn't expect it also had a price tag."

"Disappointed, so disappointed, you young girls have all been turned into fairies by some people."

"Who says there are more single men now? There are obviously more single women!"

……

On the stage, every time Uncle Benshan spoke lines full of sarcasm in his unique way, the audience below laughed so hard and shouted "good" one after another.

There was no fake smile throughout the whole scene, and every laugh was very real.

The barrage of comments on the live streaming platform was also filled with countless “hahahahaha”s.

The audience laughed naturally and happily.

But they know that the person they should thank the most is Boss Cao.

Perhaps only he has the ability to allow Uncle Benshan to return to the stage.

When the skit ended, the audience was still not satisfied.

This is the kind of party people want to see, a party that can really make everyone laugh.

When Uncle Benshan walked off the stage, Cao Yu also left his seat and walked backstage.

"Uncle Benshan, thank you for your hard work."

Cao Yu was sincerely grateful to the old man. He knew how many people, like him, grew up watching Uncle Benshan's sketches.

"I like this feeling."

Uncle Benshan looked very relaxed after the performance.

Although he is not short of money, he has always been active on stage and actually misses the feeling of performing.

Cao Yu smiled and asked, "Come again next year if you have the chance."

"I hope so. I don't know if my body can handle it."

"Uncle Benshan is in good health, there will be no problem, the audience needs you."

After exchanging pleasantries, Cao Yu took Uncle Benshan back to the lounge.

Just as he was about to return to the scene, the director of the evening party, with an excited look on his face, came over to congratulate him and said, "Boss Cao, the number of people in the live broadcast room has reached 450 million!"

This data is close to 30%. With the success of this evening party, Feiyu Entertainment and Feie Video will reach a new level!

"good."

However, Cao Yu was very calm and felt that the data was normal.

After Uncle Benshan’s performance, the following shows were equally exciting, with Zhou Di and Ouyang Nana also taking the stage.

But everyone seemed to be still immersed in the skit just now.

More than half an hour later, another big drama arrived, that was the appearance of the former sketch king Chen Peisi.

The skit he performed was "Such Live Broadcast".

This skit is very relevant to the current trend, and it is also full of irony while being funny.

Satirizing those women who can't do anything during live broadcasts and can only shake their heads.

Although Chen Peisi has not been on stage for many years, he is still as skilled as ever. He used his signature expressions and funny words to make the whole audience laugh again.

The director of CCTV actually laughed at it too.

At this moment, he really felt that Feiyu's party was really different from the current Spring Festival Gala.

There are even shadows of the Spring Festival Gala from more than a decade ago.

In his heart, he became more determined to let Boss Cao plan the Spring Examination next year.

Perhaps, the outside monks will come up with some good advice, and then, maybe they can save the Spring Festival Gala from its decline.

Who is responsible for the declining ratings of the Spring Festival Gala in the past two years?

However, since Feiyu’s party was so good, it seems that this year’s Spring Festival Gala will be under more pressure.

Feiyu Theater.

“Thanks to the hard work of all Feiyu people this year, we are where we are today.”

The party is basically over, and the last part is the award ceremony and the boss’ speech.

Extra large checks are given to outstanding employees to motivate everyone to work harder next year.

"We hold this party to bring happiness to everyone. We hope everyone will be in a good mood on the way home. I wish you all a happy new year in advance!"

Finally, with Cao Yu's deep bow, the whole evening came to an end amid the audience's reluctance.

But that night, the entire Internet was in an uproar.

Everyone is discussing Uncle Benshan’s skits, and the number of views of the edited videos of the skits is also increasing rapidly online.

However, the most popular video is still the previous one "The Spring Breeze of Reform Blows Everywhere".

Feiyu Group's evening party is still being talked about by netizens, and the Spring Festival is approaching.

The company's employees began to take holidays one after another.

Many crews have also stopped filming and will resume work after the New Year.

"Hubby, will you spend the New Year with me this year?"

Zhao Liying, with a round face, lay in Cao Yu's arms, with her right hand carefully placed on her lower abdomen, feeling the little life that was growing inside.

She has already become a top-tier star, and this time she is really pregnant.

Cao Yu smiled and said, "Okay, bring your parents over to celebrate the New Year together, just don't hit me."

"No, my parents called yesterday and praised you, saying that our party was really well organized."

"I actually benefited from Uncle Benshan's help."

Cao Yu gets a headache every Chinese New Year.

Luckily, Zhao Liying is pregnant this year, so I’ll just accompany her on New Year’s Eve, and then go and accompany other people.

Who made me have so many girlfriends who gave birth to my children?

Take care of both the palms and the backs of your hands.

However, Zhao Liying is now mature and generous, and is no longer the little girl she was back then.

Especially after the hit of "Knowing Your Destiny", her popularity has surpassed that of Sun Li.

Although she has been receiving many film offers, what she wants now is to take good care of the baby in Cao Yu's belly, and nothing else matters.

She was so grateful to Cao Yu and loved Cao Yu so much.

The role in "Princess Agents" that she was originally supposed to play was given to Jing Tian.

After Jing Tian finishes filming this drama, he will also shoot "Sito" next year, although that girl has been clamoring for a child every day recently.

But Cao Yu felt that he could consider it after she finished filming "Sito".

If you want to spend the New Year with Zhao Liying, you have to go see Liu Yifei in advance.

Aunt Liu likes Hong Kong very much and plans to settle down here, which makes Cao Yu very worried.

Although there were still a few days before the Chinese New Year, he could only fly back and forth between Hong Kong and Beijing.

Liu Shishi is going back to Yanjing to celebrate the New Year this year, and their daughter is already over 100 days old.

Originally, Cao Yu was going to accompany her to meet her family.

But Liu Shishi said that she would go back and test the waters first, and when the opportunity was right, she would let Cao Yu meet with her family.

This also touched Cao Yu.

I'm a bit of a jerk, but these girls are really nice.

However, it is much better for Liu Shishi to be with me than with that man who is much older than her.

Cao Yu has been very busy recently.

This meant that Wang Qianran, who had always wanted to learn acting from his master, had no chance to catch the boss, and he had to go home two days before the Spring Festival.

Also disappointed were Ouyang Nana, Li Kaixin, An Yuexi and others.

This year's Spring Festival is on January 28th.

Although Feiyu Group’s year-end party is still being discussed by netizens, two very interesting movies were released on January 27th.

I say it’s interesting because the relationship between the directors of these two films is very interesting.

One is "Red Ling" directed by Zhang Yimou, and the other is "Legend of the Demon Cat" directed by Chen Kaige.

Once upon a time, national master Zhang Yimou was the one who carried the camera for Chen Kaige, but now the influence of the two has completely reversed.

Moreover, now the two movies are released on the same day, which is a huge highlight.

Who is the most powerful director among the fifth generation? Although everyone knows it is Zhang Yimou, Brother Chen Kai has never been convinced.

More importantly, Zhang Yimou's work "Chi Ling" is also about opera, which is a bit like a challenge to "Farewell My Concubine".

It would be strange if Director Chen felt comfortable about this.

But he is helpless now and cannot say anything publicly.

After all, the producer of "Red Ling" is Boss Cao Yucao.

His son Arthur had just gotten a role in Feiyu's TV series "Fights Break Sphere". Although he didn't have many scenes, he was able to get close to Boss Cao.

As long as you work harder and get the support of this capital tycoon, you will naturally have a bright future.

Although he cannot say anything publicly, Director Chen still hopes that he can defeat Zhang Yimou at the box office this time and prove his box office appeal.

You should know that it took four years from the preparation to the filming of "Legend of the Demon Cat".

In addition to Director Chen, many people in the entertainment industry also want to see who performs better in this drama.

Ma Yun was also praying silently at home, hoping that Feiyu’s movie would not fail again and that there would be some chance for everyone to survive.

Because it was before the Spring Festival, all the promotion had already been done, so the premiere was skipped.

In the early morning of the 27th, "Red Angel" and "Legend of the Demon Cat" landed in major theaters.

Also released at the same time were "The Village of Forgetting" starring Shu Qi, "The Breakup Guru" directed by Han Han, and the "Boonie Bears" series, which has been released one film every year in recent years.

In order to avoid clashing with Feiyu Film's schedule, "The God of Cookery", starring Ge You, was willing to be released ten days later.

Although there are many movies released, the most eye-catching ones are still those by Director Zhang and Director Chen.

“We must win this time!”

When the movie was released, Brother Chen Kai was muttering to himself at home.

"Hubby, don't worry, Legend of the Demon Cat is well made, it will definitely win."

Chen Hong still has great confidence in her husband. Although she is older, she is still a fan of Chen Kai.

"I'm not afraid of Zhang Yimou, I'm afraid of Cao Yu. He is one of the screenwriters of the movie Red Angel. I heard that he also wrote the theme song. This makes me feel uneasy."

Brother Chen Kai sighed and expressed his worries.

"That's true."

Chen Hong also understands the power of Cao Yu’s songs.

Half of the credit for the huge success of "Knowing Your Destiny" goes to Cao Yu's theme song.

If Zhang Yimou and Cao Yu join forces, it seems difficult for them to surpass each other at the box office.

So, she followed her husband's example and prayed devoutly: "God, please make our movie box office over 2 billion."

During the Chinese New Year, maybe God was too busy and didn’t hear it at all.

Both films were released at the same time, and huge amounts of publicity were invested in both.

However, the theme song of "Red Ling" was not announced during the promotion, as Boss Cao wanted to give the audience a surprise.

Cao Yu himself has countless fans. On the day the movie was released, although the clips of Reba dancing and Zhang Rongrong swinging in the promotional video of "Legend of the Demon Cat" still attracted many viewers.

After all, everyone loves to look at beautiful women.

However, the promotional video of "Red Ling" showed scenes of the Japanese doing evil and fire all over the sky.

Therefore, there are still many audiences who walk into the theater of "Legend of the Demon Cat" with the mentality of seeing beautiful women.

However, as long as the audience buys the tickets on Douyin, Boss Cao will get a 1% share.

After experiencing box office flops like “The Promise,” “The Orphan of Zhao,” “Mei Lanfang,” and “The Taoist Goes Down the Mountain,” the graphics of “Legend of the Demon Cat” are actually pretty good.

As for the plot, although a bit suspenseful, it is also quite satisfactory.

The highlights of the whole movie were Li Bai reciting poetry while drunk and Reba's dance, which left a very deep impression on the audience.

Reba is beautiful and a good dancer, and the dance in the movie is just perfect for her.

In fact, what the audience was most dissatisfied with after watching the movie was the strange ending.

Anyway, some viewers really can't appreciate Director Chen's style.

There were also many film critics sitting in another theater. In addition to supporting Boss Cao, they also wanted to post their reviews as soon as possible.

This way there will be topics and heat.

At the beginning of the movie, two children secretly watch the adults performing on the stage.

And the little girl is very cute.

I don’t know where the crew found them from, and the two kids performed very naturally, you can’t tell they were acting at all.

The audience was very curious, whether the children acted well or director Zhang Yimou was great.

If they knew that the little girl was actually Boss Cao's daughter, their jaws would probably drop in shock.

Mainly, how could this girl’s crying scene be so contagious?

It seems like another child star.

When the little girl grew up, Wang Qianran appeared on the stage, and the audience was dazzled again.

This girl is beautiful too.

Why didn’t I notice it before?

what is it call?
Wang Yuran.
A very promising girl, and when she is acting with the male lead, her every move and gesture is even more beautiful.

Is this girl also an actor of Feiyu?
As the plot of the movie progresses, the heroine becomes Wang Xiaochen.

She is also a great beauty.

At this time, the male protagonist has grown into a popular star.

His performance of "Peach Blossom Fan" made him famous all over the country.

One day, war came to their city and the city was breached.

This group of invaders, somehow, got the news that there was a very famous actor in this city.

The Japanese have always coveted Chinese culture and liked to pretend to be cultured.

So, they wanted to invite a protagonist named Pei Yanzhi to perform for the Japanese.

The protagonist certainly doesn't want to be a slave of a conquered nation, and even less does he want to perform for these beasts.

As a result, his wife was captured, and the Japanese threatened that if the protagonist did not agree, they would kill a hundred people a day.

In fact, they had been doing evil in the city and had killed countless people.

The protagonist paid to meet his wife, and his wife said that she would rather die than perform for the Japanese!

The protagonist Pei Yanzhi looked at his wife with tears in his eyes.

He felt sorry for his wife, and even more so for the folks in the city.

Yin Zheng performed very well in this scene. He showed the hatred and attachment to his relatives in his eyes.

After struggling all night, he finally came up with a way to save the people.

He promised Guizi that he could perform, but on the condition that he perform with his wife.

My wife has also had a dream of performing on stage since she was a child, so they sang together on the final stage.

On the stage, as the couple performed, every little detail of their childhood to adulthood flashed through their minds.

"As the play turns, the water rises and falls, singing about sorrow and joy, separation and reunion. It has nothing to do with the opening and closing of my fan. The gongs and drums sound and then fall silent. The feelings in the play are outside the play. Who can tell?"

Zhang Yimou handled this shot very well, using montage techniques, making it seem as if reality and memories are intertwined.

This technique is very infectious, and the audience is deeply moved by the tragedy.

Below the stage, the devils were drinking and eating meat wantonly, looking hideous.
"In troubled times, I can't bear to watch the flames of war burning the mountains and rivers. I dare not forget my worries for the country, even if no one knows me."

As the play approached its climax, the drum beats became faster and the singing became sad and angry. The protagonist, Li Xiangjun, casually opened the fan printed with a few clusters of blood-red peach blossoms, looked at the group of people in the audience with hatred, and suddenly shouted.

"ignition!"

The sound startled the Japanese soldiers in the audience.

Suddenly, flames rose and the entire theater was surrounded by fire.
"People pass by the stage, and the old colors are gone. People on the stage sing a heart-breaking farewell song. It is difficult to put the word love into words. She must sing with blood. The curtain rises and falls. Who is the guest?"

The doors and windows were blocked, and in the theater, the Japs were howling like ghosts and wolves. The protagonist couple also matched the Japs' howling and continued the performance in the fire.

Whether there is anyone in the audience or not, this is their last performance.

The graceful opera tunes echoed in the blazing fire
The fire almost lit up the entire sky
Such shots and such songs simply left the audience stunned.

The song is good, the filming is even better, and some people can't help but get goosebumps.

Those film critics had only one thing in mind.

This movie is going to be a hit again.

Whether it is the film's camera shots or the theme song, they are both comparable to "Farewell My Concubine".

There is not only love and family affection, but also gradually a sense of family and country.

It would be really unfair if this kind of movie didn't become a hit.
