China Entertainment: I became a capital tycoon

Chapter 838 836. Nothing matters except life and death; Boss Cao’s excellent genes

The Spring Festival Gala has been a staple of the Chinese people's annual Spring Festival since 83 and has been held for years.

The stage has also changed from being simple to luxurious. They dare to act out anything they eat and satirize any social issues, and it has become more and more educational.

Of course, it also went from making the audience laugh to making dumplings.

Coupled with the impact of online media, the ratings of the Spring Festival Gala are now getting lower and lower.

But this year is different because the central bank invited Boss Cao this year.

This person doesn't play by the rules and his skits are just to amuse the audience.

The leader was originally dissatisfied with this program, but Boss Cao was very persistent, and there was a hint of threat in his tone.

Originally, the leaders really wanted to remove this program and replace it with one that could educate people.

But in order to give face to Boss Cao and to improve the declining ratings, the director of CCTV was the first to support this rather funny skit.

Some people took the lead in supporting it, and the leaders were also worried that Cao Yuzhen would bring this program to their company's New Year's Eve party.

What about the Spring Festival Gala?
"Okay, so be it."

In the end, they could only barely pass the "Nudging Phone Calls" skit.

The program review lasted from morning until after get off work in the afternoon, and dozens of programs were finally reviewed.

"Mr. Cao, the program review is over. I'll have to trouble you with the next rehearsal."

After watching all the programs, Director Nie was actually quite looking forward to them.

"Hey"

Cao Yu sighed. If it weren't for the Spring Festival Gala, he might still be in Korea, accompanying his woman as she gave birth to a child.

However, being able to give the whole country a good Spring Festival Gala is also a meaningful thing.

After completing the program review, Cao Yu asked the directors of each program to continue rehearsing separately and conduct the final dress rehearsal half a month before the Spring Festival Gala.

During this period, the box office of the movie "Youth" exceeded 1 billion on January 12, and exceeded 1.5 billion on the 18th.

Feng Xiaogang was so happy that he couldn't sleep well for several days.

This is his highest-grossing movie in recent years.

"Mr. Cao, are you free recently?"

On the day when the box office exceeded 1.5 billion, Director Feng couldn't help but call Cao Yu, planning to organize a drinking party, get together with friends, and show off.

"A bit busy, what's up?"

"Mr. Cao, I want to invite a few friends in the film industry to sit together, have a meal, and celebrate the occasion the day after tomorrow."

"Got it. I'll definitely go when I'm free."

Cao Yu really didn't know whether he had time or not. Among the seven women who got pregnant in Han Bang, Park Ji-yeon gave birth and Kim Tae-hee gave birth.

Park Hyomin, Song Hye Kyo, Kim Taeyeon, Choi Sulli, and Lee Joo Ri all have very big bellies and are expected to give birth in the next few days.

Therefore, Cao Yu has been busy in China or flying to South Korea these days.

Anyway, Hanbang is not far from Yanjing. Sometimes Cao Yu stays in Yanjing during the day and goes to Seoul at night.

When these people had children, Lin Yoona and others were naturally jealous. After all, they had retired and they all wanted to be mothers for Cao Yu's children.

However, the movie "Life Events" will be released tomorrow, so Cao Yu will naturally stay in China. He will be free the day after tomorrow and join in the fun.

Cao Yu likes the movie "Life Events" very much and is very optimistic about it.

Not only is his daughter the female lead, but Zhu Yilong also performed very well in this film and has the potential to become a movie emperor.

In major cinemas, the slogan “Except life and death, nothing is more important” is prominently displayed on the movie’s promotional posters.

Of course, the most attractive words are "Produced by Feiyu Entertainment".

With these four words, the pre-order sales of movie tickets alone exceeded 50 million.

Anything produced by Feiyu is of high quality and has become a golden signboard in the entertainment industry.

Friday, January 19th.

In a while, Feiyu Group’s year-end party will begin, and many artists will return to the company one after another.

After class at the company, Tian Xiwei and Chen Yuqi met in the locker room.

Although the two are five years apart in age, they get along well and often rehearse sketches together.

As Chen Yuqi changed her clothes, she casually asked, "Xiwei, what are you going to do tonight?"

"What else can I do? Let's go to the movies."

Tian Xiwei has been in the company for a year, but has not yet gotten any good roles and has only made guest appearances in a few dramas.

After she finished speaking, she glanced at the senior and suddenly asked, "By the way, many people in the company went to the Spring Festival Gala to be Hanfu models. You have such a good figure, why didn't you go?"

"hehe."

Chen Yuqi found it difficult to answer this question.

Why didn’t you go?
Can't you see?
Those Hanfu models are all girls who have relationships with the boss.

I have been in the company for a while and have played leading roles, but now I have been overshadowed by some new girls.

Especially Wang Qianran, who is only eighteen years old and has abundant resources.

Last time I asked my boss out for dinner, I was rejected. Since then, I haven't found a suitable opportunity to meet with him alone.

Is it because I don't want to be a model?
Is it because my boss doesn’t give me a chance?

Seeing her senior was embarrassed, Tian Xiwei smiled and said, "Actually, with your conditions, you can definitely fight for it. Developing in the entertainment industry is just like that. It's good to lean on a big tree for shade. Senior should understand better than me."

"Xiwei, which big tree do you want to lean on?"

Everyone in the company knows that there is only one most reliable tree, and that is Boss Cao.

But it is not easy to rely on the boss. Some artists who want to get ahead can only settle for second best and set their sights on other people who have resources.

"I?"

Tian Xiwei knew that she was not the most beautiful person in the company, but her advantage was her youth.

What man can resist a young and beautiful woman?

However, she did not give a direct answer, but said: "I was recruited by the boss himself, don't let me seize the opportunity"

"really."

Chen Yuqi felt even more pressured when she heard this post-95s girl say this.

Although I was born in the 90s, I am indeed older than those born in the 95s.

In addition to the popular Wang Yuran, the company's young artists now include Zhou Ye, Zhang Ruonan, Zhao Lusi, and Ouyang Nana.

If I don't take the initiative and work hard, sooner or later I will become an actor below the third tier.

Tian Xiwei didn't know what her senior was thinking. She changed her clothes and invited him, "You are free tonight, right? How about we go shopping and watch a movie together?"

"Okay."

Chen Yuqi readily agreed.

She thinks that she should interact more with these post-95s so that she can stay young. Maybe the boss will be interested in her next time.

After shopping and having a meal, the two women went into the cinema together.

"What are you looking at?"

"Of course it's Life Events, it's said to be very well made."

In this movie, apart from Zhu Yilong, there are basically not many famous actors, but the audience is still willing to watch it.

After waiting in line for more than ten minutes, I finally bought two movie tickets. When I entered the screening room, I found that it was almost full.

"The movies of our Feiyu Entertainment have always been so popular."

Tian Xiwei found a seat and sat down, smiling, "When I was in high school, I often watched the company's videos and was always curious about the boss. I never thought I could work in his company."

"Yes."

Chen Yuqi also nodded in agreement: "I didn't expect to be a subordinate of my former idol, and I didn't expect to play the role of Little Dragon Girl."

"It's a pity that you were born a little late, otherwise, the boss could have let you play Yang Guo."

"no way."

As the two chatted, they became more and more envious of the women who had relationships with Cao Yu.

Soon, the movie starts.

A little girl sleeps with her grandmother.

The little girl spoke with a Wuhan accent and was very cute. She actually looked a bit like the boss.

"Sister Yuqi, do you think this girl is the boss's daughter?"

"shush"

Chen Yuqi quickly asked her to keep her voice down, and then whispered in her ear: "It is a rumor, but no one has confirmed it, and no one dares to say it."

"No wonder he looked familiar to me."

Tian Xiwei nodded: "Only a man as handsome as the boss can give birth to such a beautiful daughter."

"Xiwei, the boss already has a daughter, are you still willing to be like that with him?"

"What's the problem? Besides, I don't want to marry him."

Although Tian Xiwei has not been in the entertainment industry for a long time, she is very clear that if she wants to develop well in this circle, she has to make sacrifices.

Besides, if I don't find a big tree like the boss, it would be uneconomical if I was taken advantage of by someone. Even if I was going to be taken advantage of, I would find someone as handsome and rich as the boss.

"Right."

Chen Yuqi thought there was some truth in it, but when she saw the little girl on the screen, she began to fantasize that if possible, she would also like to have one.

She was also very surprised that the boss's daughter's acting skills were even better than her own in "Youth".

Soon, Zhu Yilong, with his head shaved almost bald, appeared and played the role of a funeral worker.

When the audience in the cinema saw the leading actor, they didn't recognize him at first.

"Is this Zhu Yilong?"

But although Tian Xiwei is a colleague of Zhu Yilong, she was stunned for a moment before she realized it when she saw his image.

Chen Yuqi nodded and said, "It's him, but he looks completely different from the one in 'Do You Know?' In 'Do You Know?' he was a gentle and elegant nobleman, but here he looks like a ruffian."

Tian Xiwei: "Yeah, a bit naughty, but quite handsome."

"Who do you think is more handsome, the boss or Zhu Yilong?"

"Of course the boss is handsome. The boss is shining."

"Golden light?"

"A good friend is one who sees through things but doesn't say them out loud."

The two chatted and whispered about the plot and characters in the movie.

They found that Zhu Yilong's acting skills are getting better and better, and now he is indeed a first-tier actor in Feiyu Entertainment.

As the movie continues, Xiaowen, played by Cao Yu's daughter Li Yutong, has an intersection with Mo Sanmei, played by Zhu Yilong, because her grandmother passed away and no one took care of her.

The two of them started out playing around and then developed some feelings for each other.

During this process, although Xiaowen is naughty, she is also a simple-hearted girl and develops some feelings for Mo Sanmei.

In the movie, this seven-year-old girl actually acted out her longing for her grandmother very well.

The audience laughed and cried, and some people even thought of their loved ones who had left this world.

"If this girl is really the boss's daughter, her acting skills are better than many of the company's artists."

"That's for sure. He inherited the boss's good genes."

“Genetic.”

Hearing this word, Chen Yuqi also felt that it would be great if she also had such a lovely daughter.

It’s best to have a child with the boss, for the sake of the excellent genes.

The movie continued, and the little girl was adopted by Mo Sanmei's friends and caused many funny things.

Especially after Xiaowen went to school, when she was performing a show with a boy, she actually performed a funeral.

"A filial son breaks the bowl and is led to the West!"

"Snapped!"

The male classmate who was kneeling on the ground threw a stainless steel bowl to the ground at Xiaowen's voice.

"boom!"

The entire theater erupted in laughter.

This girl is so cute.

"Except for life and death, nothing matters!"

After the theme of the movie is introduced, the protagonist Mo Sanmei also truly takes the funeral work seriously.

He carried the coffin downstairs amidst the shouts. This scene shocked everyone in the theater again.

At the same time, he also took care of the little girl like a father.

On Xiaowen's birthday, her third brother gave her a cloth tiger with her grandmother's voice recorded on it.
The little girl cried and the third brother's eyes were red.

The audience in the theater felt sad.

Good movie, good actors.

But the following sentence, “Because I have a father,” made many parents with children in the theater unable to hold back their tears.

Even Tian Xiwei, who just turned 21, cried after watching it.

"Boss, I cried when I watched 'Dying to Survive' last time, and this time it made me cry again."

Tian Xiwei originally thought that the reason she hadn't gotten any roles in the past year was because she had no relationship with her boss.

Now it seems that my acting skills are still far from good enough.

Zhu Yilong’s acting was so good, and the little girl, who was only seven years old, acted so realistically.

It seems that not only does he have to get close to the boss, but he also has to work hard to improve his acting skills.

Otherwise, even if something happens with your boss, you may not be able to get good resources.

At the end of the movie, Xiaowen was taken away by her biological mother, and she couldn't bear to leave her third brother, so she went to find him.

"My father's name is Mo Sanmei. My family lives at No. 73 Huai'an Road, Yuhua District, Yanjiang City. I will not be lost in heaven."

Xiaowen's words made all the audience in the theater take out their tissues again.

No matter how hard the heart is, it will melt and soften at this moment.

After the movie was over, many people were too embarrassed to get up from their seats because they were afraid of being seen with red eyes.

It wasn't until the lights came on that everyone walked out of the theater, only to find that they were not the only ones with red eyes.

"That little girl just now acted really well, she beat many young handsome guys in the entertainment industry in seconds."

"Yeah, it's really God chasing me to feed me."

"If she was really the boss's daughter, she wouldn't have to enter the entertainment industry."

"That's what I said, but if the child likes it, the boss might be able to train her to become a movie queen."

"Maybe she can win the Best Actress award for this film. Her boss is the vice chairman of the Film Association."

Chen Yuqi and Tian Xiwei also left the cinema with red eyes.

At this time, one of them was thinking about giving birth to a lovely daughter, while the other was thinking that only by practicing her acting skills well could she be noticed by the boss.

On the day the movie was released, it received rave reviews online.

The whole movie makes you laugh without awkwardness and cry without pretentiousness. It is a very sincere and warm movie with both laughter and tears.

At the same time, in addition to rediscovering Zhu Yilong's outstanding acting skills in portraying different roles, people also got to know the little girl named Li Yutong.

Li Xiaoyu's home.

"Hubby, people are praising our daughter online."

Li Dabai was browsing Weibo, his face full of pride for his daughter.

Cao Yu smiled and said, "It's because I have good genes."

"Just brag, it's obviously my genes that are good."

"In that case, how about we have another one?"

Although she is over 40 years old, Li Xiaoyu still looks like a young girl. Not only has her figure not changed, but she has also gained a more graceful temperament.

"As long as I have Yutong, I am satisfied."

Li Xiaoyu knew it was a joke, but she was still very happy in her heart.

Putting down the phone, she leaned into Cao Yu's arms and said, "Hubby, if our daughter can really win a Best Actress award, I will be so embarrassed."

"You should be proud."

Cao Yu hugged the mother of his first child and said, "Sister Xiaoyu, my daughter is so outstanding. Thank you."

"I want to thank you for giving me such a wonderful daughter."

Although the two had said such things before, the feeling of pride they felt when they saw that their daughter was so outstanding was completely different from before.

The next day, the box office figures came out. Feiyu's film, which had a small investment and was just a show about the lives of ordinary people, actually earned 170 million, which was higher than some big-budget films.

What’s even more surprising is that Xiaowen’s image of Nezha in “Life Events” increased the number of views of “Ne Zha” on Fei’e Video by several million in that one day.

"Luck, luck."

When Feng Xiaogang saw this box office result, he felt lucky. He was also grateful to Cao Yu for not scheduling this movie in the same period as "Youth".

Otherwise, "Youth" would definitely not have earned 1.5 billion at the box office.

But he immediately realized a problem.

A few days ago, he was talking about holding a celebration party for "Youth", and now Feiyu's "Life Events" has such a high box office, isn't this a slap in his face?
If Boss Cao came, and someone else's low-budget movie beat his at the box office, how would he put his face?
But the customer has already been notified, so we have to do it no matter what.

The evening of January 20th.

The celebration banquet for "Youth" was held as usual in Feng Xiaogang's villa in Yanjing.

"Yuqi, you are dressed so beautifully, what are you going to do?"

Just when Cao Yu was about to go to Feng Xiaogang's house from the company, he happened to meet Chen Yuqi getting off the elevator.

When Chen Yuqi saw Cao Yu, she remembered her desire to have a child. Her face turned slightly red and she whispered, "Boss, Yitong and the others are rehearsing for the Spring Festival Gala, so Director Feng asked me to attend the celebration banquet for Youth."

"No wonder." Cao Yu smiled and said, "What a coincidence, I was also going to Feng Xiaogang's house."

When the girl heard that the boss was going to the same destination as her, she was moved and immediately asked, "Boss, can I take your car?"
