Entertainment: Since 1990

Chapter 139 Is this kid trying to pick up girls?
Late at night, Sakai Izumi's glistening, delicate body slumped against Cao Jian like a small snake.

She hopes this can continue for the rest of her life.

Cao Jian smoked a cigarette while fondling Sakai Izumi's delicate body: "Izumi, you need to be more outgoing in the future. You can't be a homebody. You need to interact with people more."

"Well, I listen to you."

Although she doesn't like appearing in public, she's willing to listen to what Cao Jian says.

Cao Jian praised, "You're not only beautiful, but also good-looking."

Although he had seen Izumi Sakai's sexy photos online, when he actually met her, he found that this woman's figure was nothing like that of a Japanese person.

Japanese women are generally short, but the woman next to me is 1.65 meters tall. Not only is she tall and slender, but she is also perfectly developed and has an amazing feel to her.

"You are also the most outstanding man I have ever known. In Chinese terms, isn't this what they call 'fate bringing people together from a thousand miles away'?"

"You seem to have a good understanding of Chinese culture."

Cao Jian laughed and said, "Since you like Chinese culture, I'll write a few more songs for you in a couple of days, and you can sing them slowly."

“Let’s study it together.”

Sakai Izumi seemed to have her meridians opened up, snuggling into Cao Jian's arms: "It would be so nice if you could stay."

In her eyes, with her lover's talent, he would definitely do well in Japan.

Cao Jian came to Japan just to play around, how could he possibly stay?

However, he didn't refuse outright: "Don't worry, I'll come to see you often in the future. Once I learn Japanese, I might even hold a concert here. How about we come together then?"

"Yeah."

As Izumi Sakai agreed, she rolled over and straddled Cao Jian, like a greedy cat stealing a treat: "Cao-kun, I want it again."

Five days is neither a long nor a short time.

In those five days, Cao Jian's Japanese improved by leaps and bounds.

At the same time, the two also wrote another ending theme song for "Slam Dunk", "Catch the Shining Moment".

Cao Jian also learned the entire song "Until the End of the World".

What pleased him even more was that by the end of the three-day game expo, the game "Cadillacs and Dinosaurs" had sold 800,000 copies.

This means that 800,000 arcade machines will be equipped with this game to harm students.

But this has nothing to do with Cao Jian.

He's just a game seller.

The company secured 800,000 contracts and partnered with three Japanese arcade machine manufacturers, earning four million US dollars in funding.

While Mo Huaimi was happily dancing around, Cao Jian remained calm.

He understood that this was just the beginning, and as long as the game was popular, selling around two million copies wouldn't be a big problem.

The biggest headache right now is finding more people who can help me manage the company.

Even the woman next to him would do.

So far, Yang Yuying is in charge of the clothing, Guo Aiming hasn't settled things yet, and the electronics factory matter is still unresolved.

Wang Fei simply loves to sing; it's a pure love.

Zhou Huimin, Chen Derong, and Yuan Jieying lack business acumen.
The Japanese girl in front of me is also a pure musician; music is her life.

Five days later, Cao Jian was to return to China, and Qiong Yao was still waiting for him.

Moreover, news came from the electronics factory that they were ready to launch the VCD and would be going to an electronics exhibition in September, so everyone was waiting for the boss to return as soon as possible.

"Cao Jun, when are you coming?"

"I've said it so many times, I will definitely come before the end of the year and release my first Japanese single then."

Cao Jian slapped Sakai Izumi's pert buttocks.

This girl has been very clingy these past few days; it seems that being with her lover is more important than music.

But no matter how clingy they are, the time to say goodbye still comes.

At the airport, Izumi Sakai repeatedly urged Cao Jian to come back as soon as possible.

Cao Jian kissed the Japanese girl: "I know. Next time I come back, I hope you'll see that you've already made a name for yourself."

After saying that, he embarked on his journey back to China. Meanwhile, in Hong Kong, summer vacation had already begun, and many movies were being released during this period.

First, Cao Jian's "Swordsman II" was released in Hong Kong at the end of June.

Because the film did well at the box office in Taiwan and South Korea, and because Brigitte Lin's portrayal of Dongfang Bubai, although a departure from the original work, was still breathtakingly beautiful.

Because Cao Jian already had many fans, the film quickly grossed over 30 million after its release in Hong Kong.

His portrayal of Linghu Chong was not only handsome but also dashing, which, combined with his existing large fan base, has now garnered him a large number of movie fans.

The film's box office success also increased Cao Jian's fame in the film industry, and many film and television companies began to pay attention to this newcomer.

But all of this was shattered after the release of Stephen Chow's film "Justice, My Foot!".

"Justice, My Foot!" stars Stephen Chow and Anita Mui, marking their first collaboration. With Stephen Chow as the lead actor and Anita Mui as a leading lady in the entertainment industry, their pairing is sure to generate buzz.

After its release, it grossed over HK$49 million, surpassing "Swordsman II" by more than HK$10 million, demonstrating Stephen Chow's box office appeal.

But this was just the beginning of Stephen Chow's chart-topping dominance.

At the end of July, his starring role in "The Deer and the Cauldron" was also released in Hong Kong, where it grossed over 40 million HKD.

This summer, no matter whose movie it was, everyone was trembling under Stephen Chow's influence.

However, Cao Jian didn't care about any of that. He believed that his "Swordsman II" would be good, but at the same time he knew that losing to Stephen Chow's movie was not shameful.

In any case, the claim that 1992 was the year of Stephen Chow is no exaggeration.

The Prince Gong Mansion in Yanjing was the residence of Heshen, a notorious corrupt official during the Qing Dynasty. Although it is much smaller now than before, it is still magnificent and splendid with carved beams and painted rafters.

The casting location for Qiong Yao's new drama "Plum Blossom Mark" and its main filming location are here.

"Xiao Cao, what do you think of this place?"

When Qiong Yao saw Cao Jian again, she felt that the young man looked even better than last time, and it seemed that he was living a very comfortable life.

And since I'm so old and still suffering here, after exchanging a few pleasantries, I said, "I'll leave the initial casting to you for now."

"I?"

Cao Jian was taken aback. "I'm only three days late, and you're already trying to conscript me?"

However, casting in the early stages may not necessarily be a bad thing.

There are far more beautiful women in mainland China than in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

Those two places are so small, how big is the inland area?

Although most of the roles in this casting call were supporting roles, he still decided to pick out a few good beauties.

Because this play requires some dancers, Qiong Yao naturally considered the Beijing Dance Academy, as well as various dance troupes and theater companies in Beijing.

Nowadays, dance troupes and theater companies are mostly within the system, and they are full of hidden talents.

But on such a hot day, Cao Jian was too lazy to go to these places.

But since he was in charge of the early casting process, he suggested, "Auntie, I plan to place a casting ad in the TV guide to recruit actors and also to prepare for other dramas in the future."

"Isn't it unnecessary to spend this money?"

Qiong Yao felt that none of the roles she chose this time were important, so why bother advertising them?
Besides, the mainland hasn't yet opened up the right to film TV dramas and movies, so what's the point of recruiting actors?
Is this guy trying to pick up girls?
"It's okay, it's not much money."

Placing advertisements in prominent sections of TV guides is actually not cheap; ten thousand yuan is the minimum, but Cao Jian felt it was necessary.

The Wang brothers of Huayi Brothers will be establishing an entertainment company in two years.

I can't fall behind them.

Although the rights to shoot TV series and movies have not been opened up yet, can Cheng cooperate with TV stations and film studios?

Besides, if you sign an actor, you can also become an actor agent.

Then I'll be the first person to try something new.

Qiong Yao signed actors only to make them film her own dramas; this clearly shows a lack of vision.

I just don't know who will be selected this time.
"How about, besides advertising in the newspaper, we should also go and check out the Beijing Film Academy?"

Cao Jian pondered to himself that there were many beautiful girls at the Beijing Film Academy these days, and it was also a cradle for actors; perhaps he could find some unexpected success.
