China Entertainment: I became a capital tycoon

Chapter 846 844. My Motherland and I, Boss Cao to be the Chief Director

On the luxurious big bed in Cao Yu's villa, although the temperature in the room was comfortable, neither too high nor too low, the two people entangled in the bed were sweating all over.

After the passion, the sweaty Shu Qi leaned on Cao Yu's arms and said regretfully: "Shame on me, so shameful, how could I have made such a bad movie."

"Who told you to accept a role without reading the script? Who do you blame?"

"It's all your fault, it's all your fault!"

Shu Qi was next to Cao Yu, waving her little pink fists quickly like a little girl.

It was not until Cao Yu hugged him that he said, "It's mainly because they gave me too much. I also want to make money. Besides, this is a problem with the script. There is nothing wrong with my and Lu Han's performances."

"It's a science fiction film, there aren't many big scenes, but there's a romance scene. It seems like if there's no romance, we don't know how to shoot it?"

Cao Yu also complained, and then said: "Besides, are you short of money? If you need money, come to me."

"Who told you to ignore me so often?"

Shu Qi said coquettishly: "I heard that you opened an entertainment company for Lin Chiling in Taiwan. I can do this too."

"You want to be the boss too?"

"Can't I?"

"Okay, then I'll open one for you. The two of you can work together to control the entertainment industry on Console Island. Can you do it?"

“Is the task so difficult?”

Shu Qi wants to be a boss. As long as she has the support of Boss Cao behind her, it won't be a problem for her to be successful.

But it is not easy to control the entertainment industry in Taiwan.

"If you think it's difficult, how about a simpler one?"

"Simple?"

"Lin Zhiling is pregnant. Since you want to compete with her, why don't you give it a try?"

"Just give it a try, come on!"

"Coming!"

Cao Yu kissed the woman's sexy lips again.

The online complaints about "Shanghai Fortress" continue to expand. Even the blockbuster "Avengers 4" is not as popular as it.

Unfortunately, although the movie is popular, the box office is not increasing.

After one week of release, the box office was less than 200 million, and now it is only a few million a day, and this is contributed by Lu Han's loyal fans.

Judging from the current situation, it will be extremely difficult for this film, which has an investment of over 400 million yuan, to break 200 million yuan at the box office, and it is impossible to recover the cost.

The 3 billion target mentioned by Ma Yun has become the biggest joke in the film industry.

At the same time, a piece of news coming from the Internet industry shocked everyone in the industry.

That is, Ali wants to sell their C2C platform Taobao because of the falling stock price!

The courtyard where Yang Shuxue lives has a cool breeze under the trees and various fruits on the table. It looks peaceful and comfortable.

"Xiao Yu, did you know? Ali has released news that he wants to sell Taobao."

Yang Shuxue and Cao Yu were chatting under a tree to enjoy the cool air.

"I heard about it, but I don't know if it can be sold. Who is willing to take this hot potato now?"

Although Cao Yu wanted to recruit Ali, he didn't want Taobao.

Now Ali has no cloud computing and no innovative high-tech, so all he wants is Ali's B2B platform international station and Zhifubao.

I just don't like the Taobao platform.

More than ten years ago, you ignored me, but now I am out of your reach.

Ahri is not in desperate situation yet, so Cao Yu plans to talk about this matter later.

Anyway, it’s Ma Yun who is anxious, not me.

"That's true. Now we have Youduoduo and Jingdong. This platform has been losing money and it's not easy to sell."

Yang Shuxue nodded to Cao Yu's point of view: "A few days ago you said that Shanghai Fortress was the last straw that broke the camel's back for Ma Yun, but I didn't believe it. It seems that you were right again."

"As expected." Cao Yu smiled and said, "By the way, has this movie been withdrawn?"

"Some theaters have already started to withdraw their films. We will withdraw the day after tomorrow."

Yang Shuxue put a piece of watermelon into her mouth: "However, why doesn't Feiyu Entertainment have any movie plans? The audience said they want to watch Feiyu's movies, why don't you make a movie?"

"I'm planning to retire, and my main focus in the future will be investment."

Cao Yu has now handed over the task of finding good scripts and good projects to his studio.

At most, you can be a financial sponsor.

"I'm still working hard for you, and you're going to retire?"

Yang Shuxue stuffed a piece of watermelon into Cao Yu's mouth: "If you retire, I will quit too!"

"Then let's retreat together."

Cao Yu looked at the woman who had been with him till now and said, "I don't want you to suffer so much either."

As soon as this value emotion came out, Yang Shuxue sighed: "Your children are still young. If you and I both retire, what will happen to such a big company? It seems that I am really unlucky and I have to help you make money."

"Sister Shuxue, I noticed that you seem a bit like a resentful woman now."

"You forced me to do this."

Yang Shuxue rolled her eyes at Cao Yu and said, "Next year is the 70th anniversary of the country. Do you want to make a tribute film? Only in this way can your retirement be complete."

"A tribute film?"

When Cao Yu heard this term, his eyes narrowed slightly.

In the original parallel world, there will indeed be a tribute film next year, called "My Motherland and Me".

There are seven units in this film, a few of which he likes, but two of them are really not that good.

Especially "Daytime Popularity" directed by Chen Kaige, I had no idea what the director was trying to express.

What's more, the logic is even more unreasonable. An ordinary person actually carried the astronauts out of the warehouse?
Can you get closer?
This is totally hilarious!
Although the plots of some units have been criticized by netizens, it still needs to be done as a tribute to the motherland.

So this will be my last movie before I retire!

However, some units need to be modified.

Also, during the National Day next year, there will be a movie that will also have good box office, called "The Captain". This movie can also be invested in.

Seeing Cao Yu didn't say anything, Yang Shuxue asked, "Have you come up with any good ideas?"

"I have a movie in mind, and I will find someone to work on the script in a couple of days."

"what is it call?"

“Just call it “My Motherland and I”!”

“My Country and I?”

When Yang Shuxue heard the name, she looked at Cao Yu in a daze.

My man is so patriotic. It seems I was right about him.

He is better than I thought.

Although his shortcoming is that he likes women too much, which man doesn’t like them?

Moreover, when it comes to major issues of right and wrong, Cao Yu does much better than other capitalists.

It is said that he has transferred the tens of billions of US dollars he earned in the United States back to China. In this respect, he is a thousand times better than her husband!
The next day, Cao Yu came to the company and first found the company's screenwriting department to share his ideas and creativity.

"Mr. Cao, are you the director of this film?"

"I?"

Cao Yu had never thought about becoming a director before, but when his subordinates asked him about it, he became interested.

Even if different units have different directors, it should be good for the film if I am the chief director.

He smiled and said, "Maybe."

"Then we must design the script carefully."

When everyone heard that the boss was going to take action personally this time, who would dare not be on high alert?

But this movie cannot be invested by Feiyu Entertainment alone. Cao Yu returned to the office and called China Film Group. "Mr. Cao, your idea is great. We must invest! Tell me how to invest?"

How could the current chairman of China Film Group not be excited when he heard that Boss Cao was going to make a National Day tribute film and even invited him to join in?
With the reputation of Boss Cao, it is impossible for him to make a loss.

Recently, netizens have been clamoring to release Feiyu's movie. Now that Boss Cao is the chief director himself, won't the box office explode?
Cao Yu smiled and said, "The investment for this film is not large, 50 million is enough. I will call on Wanda, Bona, Guangying and other companies to work together, and the two of us will take the lion's share."

"Okay, let's do as Mr. Cao says."

China Film Group certainly has no objection to Mr. Cao’s idea.

Although he might earn less by asking other people for help, it can also be seen that Cao Yu is not a person who eats alone.

This is the style of a big boss in the entertainment industry.

After hanging up the phone, Cao Yu began to think about who to find as the director of each unit in the movie.
Zhang Yimou, Ning Hao and Xu Zheng can be internally selected, and Xue Xiaolu, a teacher from the directing department of Beijing Film Academy, can be invited.

Including myself, there are exactly five people.

As for the other directors, we can wait and see.

Although Cao Yu wanted to wait and decide on the final two directors, the invitation to other film and television companies to invest caused the news to spread in the circle.

Just two days later, Feng Xiaogang called and said, "Mr. Cao, I heard that you are going to shoot a movie called "My Motherland and Me". It has several units. How about letting me try one of them?"

"Director Feng, I've already decided on a director. Let's do it next time."

Although Feng Xiaogang used the honorific "you", Cao Yu still did not give him face.

"Then next time there is a good project, Mr. Cao, don't forget me."

Feng Xiaogang couldn't force it, so he could only hang up the phone in disappointment.

But not long after, Brother Chen Kai also called and also wanted to direct a unit in the film directed by Boss Cao.

Cao Yu really didn't want to invite him, because the unit directed by Director Chen in this film was the most criticized by the audience.

Just as he was about to refuse, Brother Chen Kai continued, "Boss Cao, I've actually thought of the plot. I plan to use your story as a prototype to create a unit that will showcase the demeanor of our country's entrepreneurs in the construction of our country."

"."

After hearing this, Cao Yu felt that Director Chen had a really great imagination.

Are you planning to kiss my ass?

He laughed and said, "Director Chen, what story can I tell? If you really want to shoot it, you might as well come up with another story."

Brother Chen Kai hurriedly said, "Mr. Cao, your story can be said to be very legendary, and you are also a role model and example for entrepreneurs. Such a story will definitely be a highlight in the movie."

The flattery became louder and louder, making Cao Yu feel a little proud.

Although he has created many jobs, done a lot of charity, and helped tens of thousands of people, he is completely different from those people who transfer their money abroad as soon as they get it.

But I have a common problem among men. If I were to film my own story, wouldn’t it be a bit too high-profile?

On the other end of the phone, Brother Chen Kai heard Cao Yu didn't say anything and thought he was interested, so he said, "Boss Cao, leave this to me. I will definitely come up with the best script as soon as possible."

After saying that, he hung up the phone without waiting for Cao Yu to object.

"Why is this person so excited?"

Cao Yu was just about to go back and ask Brother Chen Kai to think of another story.

At this time, Zhang Xiaotian knocked on the door and came in and said, "Boss Cao, the Film Bureau has just issued a notice regarding the filing and approval of film scripts."

As she spoke, she placed a document on Cao Yu's desk.

"That's it."

After reading the document, Cao Yu understood its meaning.

It seems that in the future, when making a movie, the script must be filed first, and the project can only be initiated after the script is approved.

The Film Bureau also wants to prevent some entertainment companies from filming first and then applying for screening licenses.

This is done to avoid wasting resources.

It seems that the script of "My Motherland and I" needs to be filed first.

He said to Zhang Xiaotian: "Xiaotian, do you think my story is worthy of being adapted into a movie?"

Zhang Xiaotian opened his eyes wide immediately: "Yes, absolutely. Let's not talk about anything else. Just say that you transferred your assets in the United States back to China, founded Feiyu Fresh Supermarket, and researched rockets, AI technology, and invested heavily in chips. These things are all beneficial to the country and the people. It will definitely be wonderful to put them on the screen."

Now, Cao Yu was somewhat persuaded.

Not only can his own story serve as a good example for other entrepreneurs who always want to run away, it can also boost box office sales.

But he still hesitated and said, "But I still have some shortcomings."

"Boss Cao, no one is perfect. Everyone has some flaws. You didn't cheat on your partner or have a mistress. Besides, the women around you were all willing. You didn't force them."

Zhang Xiaotian said, hugging Cao Yu's neck: "I want to be your secretary for the rest of my life, and follow you, but I'm afraid you'll dislike me because I'm too old."

"Then it's a deal. You'll be my secretary forever."

"Ah."

Zhang Xiaotian nodded happily, and suddenly asked: "What if I want to have children in the future?"

"If you want to have a baby, you can have one anytime."

“I want to have a baby next year!”

"That's easy, let's get started now."

Just as Cao Yu picked up the woman, his cell phone rang at an inopportune time.

"Who is it? It's so annoying."

It was a good thing to be interrupted at this time. Cao Yu really wanted to throw his phone away.

Just as I was about to take out my cell phone, I found out that the call was from Uncle Benshan.

"Uncle Benshan also has ideas about "My Motherland and Me"?"

Cao Yu then smiled and shook his head, thinking that it was unlikely.

But Uncle Benshan is a senior, so I still have to answer his phone calls.

He held Secretary Xiaotian in his arms and answered the phone: "Uncle Benshan, why are you calling suddenly?"

"Boss Cao, I discussed the martial arts film you mentioned last time with someone and have come up with the script."

"Great, what kind of script?"

Cao Yu talked about this with Uncle Benshan a year ago, but he had forgotten about it after so long. He didn't expect that the other party still remembered it.

Uncle Benshan on the phone said, "It's a funny martial arts drama called "Legend of the Magpie Sword Gate". I'll send you the script later?"

"Okay, if the book is okay, let's do it together."

"no problem."

Soon, Cao Yu received the script sent by Uncle Benshan.

But Boss Cao was in no mood to watch it. It was not until lunchtime that he and Xiaotian finished their work.

Although the script is important, having a baby is more important.

Cao Yu leaned comfortably against the head of the bed, reading the script of "Legend of Que Dao Men" and was actually amused several times.

“Is the script so funny?”

Zhang Xiaotian, who was resting beside him, saw that Cao Yu was so engrossed in watching and left him aside, and said something sourly.

"It looks good. You'll know when it's released."

As a northerner, Cao Yu was very satisfied with the script.

Although each episode of this drama is not long, it contains a lot of jokes and satirizes some chaos in the entertainment industry and society.

"What a good script! Uncle Benshan is still Uncle Benshan."

After reading the script, Cao Yu decided to invest.

He immediately replied to Uncle Benshan's email and agreed to invest 30 million yuan so that he could film this martial arts comedy as soon as possible and release it during the Spring Festival.

If this year's Spring Festival Gala is not exciting, the audience can watch these dramas as the Spring Festival Gala.

Martial arts, comedy, plus he is an uncle, Cao Yu is looking forward to it——
PS: The Chinese New Year is coming soon, so I have saved up some manuscripts for the Spring Festival. I will update more than 4K every day during this period. I hope you can understand.
