China Entertainment: I became a capital tycoon

Chapter 815 813. T-ARA prepares to assemble; Princess Fuzhen's goal is to become the uncrowned king

"Red Ling" and "Legend of the Demon Cat" were both released at midnight.

The next morning was still the premiere day, so the box office results were not yet out.

But judging from the pre-sale ticket situation, "Red Ling" is slightly ahead.

However, the theme song of the movie of the same name became popular first.

In particular, Tan Haha brought a different flavor to the song with his national team strength and melodious voice.

The most amazing thing is the opera singing, which not only injects soul into the song, but also becomes the highlight of the movie.

Although the genuine music has not been released yet, some people are already frantically looking for resources online.

"This song is so popular? Am I going to be finished again?"

Originally, Brother Chen Kai was confident in his movie, but he didn't expect that Boss Cao would make his masterpiece "Legend of the Demon Cat" completely unpopular online just by relying on a song.

Moreover, there were some people who didn’t understand movies and posted reviews that made him angry.

"First-rate visuals, a mediocre story, and characters that are all puppets. It makes me feel like the Tang Dynasty is full of monsters. Shota Sometani is smiling sweetly from beginning to end. I really want to ask you what you are laughing at."

“The art setting can be said to be the pinnacle, and it also creates a feeling of the heyday of the Tang Dynasty. Unfortunately, the art and special effects are too full, the paradise banquet part is too long, and the director is too obsessed with the "banquet", so the later part of solving the case seems very hasty, and there is no "emotion" at all.”

"The atmosphere of the prosperous Tang Dynasty is really beautiful, but the whole play only stays on the beauty. There is beauty in appearance but no beauty in bones. The beauty that overwhelms the whole country is not convincing. Only the little black cat is cute. Also, Reba is really beautiful."

"Does Director Chen have a special love for swinging?"

"The scene is big, but the pattern is small. In the end, it's just a Mary Sue magical drama that everyone loves."

……

Faced with such sharp criticism, Director Chen was very unhappy.

But Zhang Yimou's films are not only full of love and affection, but also full of patriotism. How can you compare?

Besides, the visuals of "Red Ling" don't seem to be bad at all.

Especially the last scene, the firelight, the red color, truly interprets the "red" of "Chi Ling".

Moreover, this film directed by Zhang Yimou is actually regarded as a film that can be compared with "Farewell My Concubine".

This point of view really made Brother Chen Kai feel a little upset.

"Farewell My Concubine" is my most classic film. It's fine that my father helped make it, but now there's another one that can rival it. Doesn't that mean I really can't compare to Zhang Yimou?
Director Chen really finds this hard to accept.

But what if I don’t accept it?
Judging from its current popularity online, "Legend of the Demon Cat" has fallen behind.

But does he dare to confront Boss Cao now?
Dare not
In Hangzhou, Ma Yun felt very complicated after watching two movies.

To be honest, he quite likes the song "Chi Ling", but he just doesn't want to see Cao Yu's movie sell well.

I've already pounced, but you're so strong?

It's really heartbreaking.
Ma Yun covered her chest, feeling depressed and uncomfortable.

It's embarrassing that two movies failed in a row.

The main thing is that he called Wang Zhongjun a few years ago, and the other party actually told him to contact him less in the future, fearing that Boss Cao would misunderstand?

It's really not tactful at all, and it doesn't consider other people's feelings at all.
Ma Yun really had a feeling of "the north wind is whistling and the snowflakes are fluttering".

……

Cao Yu has already prepared for the New Year, and Zhao Liying's family has also been brought to Yanjing.

Although her parents had some objections to their daughter not getting married, they had no choice but to accept it when they saw that Cao Yu treated their daughter well.

They can’t control the affairs of young people now.

"Honey, everyone is looking for the song "Chi Ling" on the Internet now, why don't you send out the authentic version now?"

"Don't send it yet. Wait two days."

Although Cao Yu knew that the movie and songs of "Chi Ling" were quite popular, after all, the script of this movie was completely original, and nothing else was copied except the songs.

Let’s wait until the box office on the first day comes out.

"As long as you have a plan."

Zhao Liying leaned obediently in Cao Yu's arms, liking the feeling of being together during the New Year.

Although it is prohibited to set off firecrackers on New Year’s Eve, there are still sporadic sounds of firecrackers in the city.

Moreover, this year's Spring Festival Gala is similar to last year.

The dance is pretty good, which is the characteristic of the Spring Festival Gala.

In terms of songs, many singers from the older generation were invited, including Mao Ahmin, Zhang Xinzhe and Li Keqin.

There are also many elderly people performing skits, but after watching them, the happy beginning and sad ending left nothing to remember.

Many people watched halfway through and ended up watching Feiyu’s year-end party again.

Some people also suggested that Boss Cao should be the planner of the Spring Festival Gala.

Cao Yu also watched half of the Spring Festival Gala, and then went back to his room early with Zhao Liying to sleep.

If you have this time, you might as well hug your wife.

Especially after Zhao Liying became pregnant, her body temperature was higher than that of ordinary people and she felt very comfortable.

The next morning, Cao Yu had just gotten up and his family was cooking dumplings when the box office figures for "Red Ling" on its first day of release came out.

"One hundred and seventy million?"

It is New Year's Eve now. Many students have gone home for the holiday, and many people have also returned to the countryside.

To be able to achieve such results on that day was beyond Cao Yu's imagination. By the third and fourth days of the Chinese New Year, he would easily exceed 20,000.

I guess half of this achievement is due to the good theme song.

"Hubby, congratulations."

"Haha, I was a little surprised too."

Cao Yu was indeed a little surprised by this result.

As long as the box office of this movie exceeds 2 billion, we can have more original works in the future.

It’s because there will be too few movies in the future that are both critically acclaimed and commercially successful.

Even if I retire, if Feiyu Entertainment wants to develop better and continue to lead the entertainment industry, it must have more and better original movies.

With the film "Red Ling" as a start, I believe the entertainment industry will be better in the future.

Zhao Liying asked curiously, "How much did "Legend of the Demon Cat" make at the box office?"

"Eighty-one million."

Cao Yu had expected this result; it was even a little higher than he had imagined.

Who asked Brother Chen Kai to use Reba as a publicity gimmick?

After the first day of the Chinese New Year, the box office of "Red Ling" reached the 200 million yuan a day mark as Cao Yu had expected. In three days, it earned a total of nearly 600 million yuan.

However, "Legend of the Demon Cat" is still hovering around the tens of millions level, and it seems like it lacks some stamina.

On the first day of the new year, Cao Yu went to visit Li Xiaoyu and her daughter, then went to pay New Year's greetings to Yang Mi's parents, and then went to Hong Kong.

On the second day after arriving in Hong Kong, Xiang Huaqiang invited me to dinner.

This year, Xiang Zuo's "Legend of the Gods" was a terrible failure. Xiang Huaqiang wanted to ask Boss Cao to show mercy and not let this movie win the Golden Broom.

But Cao Yu completely ignored this request.

The drama won the Golden Broom based on the audience’s evaluation. If you have the ability, go and ask the audience not to vote for this drama.

Xiang Huaqiang had no choice but to ask with a guilty conscience: "Boss Cao, can you arrange one of your movies this year for my son?"

"All our movies are based on auditions to see if one's acting skills are good."

Cao Yu still refused: "I suggest that Xiang Zuo play the role of Liu Qing, the tyrant spearman, in the TV series 'Fighting Break Sphere'. This way he can practice his acting skills and cultivate some popularity with the audience."

"May I?"

Xiang Huaqiang was not angry when he heard this. Instead, he said happily, "Thank you, Mr. Cao, for supporting my son."

Although his son has acted in many movies, he has never been famous.

If I could act in Feiyu's film, even in a TV series, even if it's a small role, it would be helpful for my future development.

Xiang Huaqiang is not short of money now, he just wants to pave the way for his son.

"We are all family, you are welcome."

Cao Yu smiled and said, "I will have to rely on you to take care of me in Hong Kong in the future."

Although this was a polite remark, it would be more convenient for his women to come here with the care of a former Hong Kong tycoon like Xiang Huaqiang.

Xiang Huaqiang was indeed very proud that Boss Cao could speak like this.

Even the richest man needs me to take care of him, I'm so awesome.

From the third to the sixth day of the first lunar month, Cao Yu was with Liu Yifei and their two children.

Since giving birth to her second child, Liu Yifei has focused all her energy on her children. The entertainment industry and being a star are not as important as her children.

Aunt Liu also helps her daughter take care of the children, hoping to train her grandson to become the successor of Feiyu Group.

"Brother Cao Yu, are you planning to train Yutong to be an actor?"

At night, Liu Yifei and Cao Yu were chatting on the bed. When talking about the popular movie "Red Ling" which was in theaters these days, she curiously expressed her doubts.

"Yutong likes acting. Let's see how she develops in the future."

Cao Yu has so many children, and he trains them according to their ideas on how they will develop in the future.

"But you are already so rich, there is no need to let her be an actress, do you agree, Miss Xiaoyu?"

Liu Yifei still couldn't understand why her husband wanted their children to act. It must be so tiring.

"Weren't you an actor before?"

Cao Yu smiled and explained: "Yutong has this hobby. I have a movie this year and she is the heroine."

"Yutong did act well, but she's so young and can be the heroine. What can she act in? A children's movie?"

"You'll know when the time comes." Cao Yu said, "This girl might be able to win a Best Actress award with this film."

"Queen of movies?"

Liu Yifei was stunned. What kind of movie could allow a seven-year-old child to win the Best Actress award?
It's too exaggerated.

"Ah."

Cao Yu is still very confident in his daughter, especially in the movie "Life Events".

He smiled and said, "And her godmother said that she will be given the Universal Cinema Line in the future, and maybe the entertainment company will be given to her too. She must know some insider information."

"Are you going to arrange your assets so early?"

Liu Yifei said this while looking curiously at Cao Yu, who was just 35, still the best age for a man: "You are still so young, and you want to think so far ahead?" "I plan to retire in two years and spend more time with you guys."

"It's still many years before the legal retirement age. It's too early."

Although Liu Yifei also wants her lover to spend more time with her, she still feels it is a pity to retire so young.

"It's getting late. Besides, I'm just retreating into the background."

But for Cao Yu, including the twenty years before his rebirth, he has worked hard for more than thirty years. Shouldn’t he take a break and enjoy himself?
You need money, but you can never spend it all.

There are already a lot of women to choose from.

what else?
On the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, the spring break ended, and Cao Yu also ended his vacation and went directly to Korea.

The THAAD plan can continue to be implemented.

In the United States, the owner of the White House has also changed.

Things in China had been arranged before the Spring Festival.

"The Unknown" will start shooting in early March. He has completely handed over the film "Operation Red Sea" to the company and producer Han Sanping.

After my daughter is on summer vacation, the filming of "Life Events" will officially start.

The post-production of "Journey to the West: The Demons Strike Back" has also been completed and it will be released during the summer vacation.

The casting for "The Wandering Earth" is almost complete and filming is expected to start in May this year.

However, this movie has very high requirements for special effects. Fortunately, Cao Yu has a special effects company under his control, so it should be no problem for it to be released next year.

In early February, the authentic music of "Chi Ling" was finally available on major music platforms.

Within one day of its release, the song had been downloaded and played more than 50 million times, directly dominating all major music charts.

At the same time, it also helped the movie, allowing the box office to exceed 300 million in a single day.

In comparison, "Legend of the Demon Cat" has fared much worse, hovering around 30 to 40 million.

When Cao Yu arrived in Korea, of course he went to see his son first.

His son Cao Yinghe is already six years old. He inherited his father's handsomeness and his mother's intelligence, but he is a little naughty.

However, in the Samsung Lee family, this child is still very much loved.

Who made Lee Jae-yong's son so disappointing? He is not good at anything and eats everything without leaving any residue. He is totally a hopeless person.

Lee Boo-jin really wants to train her and Cao Yu's son well. In the future, perhaps Samsung and Fuyu Group will belong to this son.

This is of course a good thing for Cao Yu, and he also believes that Lee Boo-jin has this ability.

What I need to do is to provide support for Lee Boo-jin.

Although he didn't have much control over the entertainment company, he had Jun Ji-hyun and Kim Kwang-ho to take care of him. In addition to TV series, he also filmed several good movies last year.

Two blockbusters like "Battleship Island" and "Along with the Gods: The Two Worlds" were both shot last year.

In Korea, generally speaking, when a screenwriter has a good script, the first thing they consider is to cooperate with FNC.

FNC’s chairman, Boss Cao, is an Oscar winner. With his reputation, the movie will definitely be a big hit.

Even "Train to Busan" had FNC's investment.

After spending three days with his son and Lee Boo-jin enjoying family life, Cao Yu said, "Let Ms. Park continue to implement the plan."

"Is there really no problem?"

Although Lee Boo-jin believes in her man, this matter is too big.

"Everything depends on human efforts. If the plan succeeds, Fu Yu Group may become one of the top five chaebols in Korea!"

"it is good!"

With these words, Lee Boo-jin no longer hesitated.

The top five chaebols, this temptation is really too great.

If I get more shares of Samsung in the future, then myself and the man I love most will definitely be the uncrowned kings of this land!
On February 9th, before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month in China, South Korea and South Korea released a message saying that they had chosen the site for THAAD, which is the Xingzhou Golf Course under the Fuyu Group.

Mainly, there is also the possibility of forcibly expropriating the stadium.

This incident caused quite a stir after it broke out in September last year.

Unexpectedly, I took the opportunity to start again.

The people in China are angry again, and the Koreans are also angry.

This time Cao Yu came to Korea just for this matter.

Under the organization of FNC stars and employees of Fuyu Group, demonstrations broke out again in various parts of South Korea and South Korea to oppose this incident.

Boss Cao also publicly stated in front of the media that if Hanbang insisted on its own way, he would withdraw all his industries in Hanbang.

Two days later, he really started selling his cross-holdings in CJ Entertainment, causing CJ Entertainment's stock price to plummet.

Lee Jae-hyun of CJ Entertainment also couldn't stand it anymore and came out to protest.

In China, when Cao Yu's fans heard about this, they all supported Boss Cao and canceled their plans to travel to South Korea.

For a time, the voices denouncing Han Bang grew louder and louder.

This time, China not only issued a solemn statement to boycott this matter, but also the Radio, Film and Television Administration issued a restriction order on Korea, which not only prohibits the use of Korean content, but also restricts the cooperation between Chinese entertainment companies and South Korea in film and television.

Things are getting bigger and bigger, bigger than last time.

Cao Yu wanted to restrict the Korean Wave and then allow Chinese film and television to enter Korea through him to spread the culture.

While he was paying attention to this matter, he was also preparing for the disbandment of T-ARA.

The group T-ARA is FNC's first girl group and has been popular in Korea for ten years.

Without the trolls, they have always occupied the position of the first-tier girl groups and have never been threatened by other girl groups except Girls' Generation.

Today, the oldest member, Lee Joo-ri, is already 30 years old, and it is time for the group to disband and give opportunities to young people.

Currently, FNC has three girl groups: BLACKPINK, T-ARA, and F(x), and is also planning to establish a new girl group.

At night, in T-ARA's villa, the six women would consciously stay here whenever the president came to accompany their beloved president.

"OPPA, are you really going to give up your Korean business? What will we do after we disband?"

Lee Joo-ri snuggled in Cao Yu's arms. Although she no longer looked as young as she did in the past, she became more mature.

What she and her teammates are worried about now is that Cao Yu will leave and no longer want them.

"After we disband, you must give me children. Give me lots of children."

Cao Yu looked at the six ladies and said with a smile, "You can choose to stay in Korea or go to the United States. It's up to you."

"We all listen to you."

Hearing that the man would not give up on them, the six girls felt relieved.

For them, it doesn't matter where they are, as long as the man doesn't want to ignore them.

Also, there are too many young and beautiful girls in the company, and they are also under pressure.

In addition, there are nine members of Girls' Generation competing with her for the man.

Cao Yu said: "Then I will build a bigger house for us as our new home. You can work in FNC or go to Fu Yu Group in the future. Even if you do nothing, I will support you."

"OPPA, you are so nice. With you, we sisters are the same no matter where we are."

In fact, it is very difficult for IDOLs to integrate into normal life after disbanding.

Now, as long as they have this OPPA, they are not afraid of anything, as long as they have children.

"Farewell concerts, given the current situation, should be held in Korea, Korea, Japan, and Southeast Asia. We won't go to China for the time being."

Cao Yu had no choice but to make this decision. With the ban on Korean culture in place, even if they went there, they wouldn't have the same sensational effect as Girls' Generation had before.

"Ah."

It feels a bit unfortunate for T-ARA, but it doesn’t matter.

I'm going to be a mother anyway.

That night, Cao Yu once again transformed himself into a workhorse and worked hard.

And in order of age, he plans to let Lee Joo-ri, Park So-yeon and Jeon Bo-ram get pregnant first.

Quantity is important, but quality is even more important.

T-ARA's concert has also begun preparations, starting in Tokyo in April, when the cherry blossoms are in bloom, which is just right.

In addition to these six cats, there is also Song Hye Kyo.

She hasn't had any luck recently, and comes to Cao Yu every few days to ask for a child, as if she will not give up unless she gets pregnant this time.

In China, under the influence of the ban on Korean culture, the influence of South Korea is indeed much smaller.

The influence of Korean dramas is not as great as before.

This is mainly due to Feiyu Entertainment's dramas, which are better than Korean dramas.

After the hit drama “Knowing Your Destiny” ended, another martial arts drama “The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber” was broadcast on Lizhi Channel.

Before the show started, in the promotional video, Ju Jingyi's Zhao Min was cute and adorable, while Liu Shishi's Zhou Zhiruo looked like a little white rabbit in the early stage, but became very domineering in the later stage.

And Reba's role as Xiao Zhao has charmed many people.

In addition to Meng Ziyi's Zhu Jiuzhen, Miss Hong Kong runner-up Wang Zhuoqi's Wu Qingying, and Yang Chaoyue's Yang Buhui, each of them is beautiful in her own unique way.

With dramas like this and Boss Cao around, why would you still watch Korean dramas?
After the show was aired, the ratings reached about 2%. The Chinese people's dream of martial arts will never die.

Of course, Zhu Yilong's outstanding performance in "Knowing Your Destiny" has won him countless fans, and many female audiences came for his role as Zhang Wuji.

Not long after The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber was aired, the TV series The Princess Weiyoung, invested by Ali Pictures, will also be aired in early March as planned.

This time, Ma Yun wanted to win again.

While China was still boycotting Korean dramas, Boss Cao Yu had already sold most of his shares in CJ Entertainment and transferred hundreds of millions of US dollars back to China.

At the same time, he also announced that he would continue to sell his shares if the Korean side insisted on its own way.

He is expressing his resistance to THAAD through actions.

Protests in various parts of South Korea and South Korea are becoming more and more intense, and Cao Yu has also removed all Korean dramas from Feie Video to express his attitude.

And those Koreans who like Cao Yu marched even more vigorously.

At the end of February, the movie "Red Angel" was taken off the screen with a box office of 2.76 billion.

On the same day, "Legend of the Demon Cat" was taken off the screen, and the box office was led by "Red Ling", which took in just over 700 million yuan.

There was one time when Chen Kaige’s movie was a complete failure.

In early March, according to Cao Yu’s plan, the much-talked-about THAAD finally saw a major reversal.

And after this reversal, Cao Yu's reputation will reach its peak!
