Entertainment: Since 1990

Chapter 288 Negative News
"Brother, now I finally understand one sentence."

"What?"

"It's good to be a woman."

"wrong."

On Fan Bingbing's bed, Cao Jian held the beautiful woman in his arms with satisfaction and laughed, "She should be my woman, that's good."

That's exactly what I meant.

Although she gave her virginity to Cao Jian, Fan Bingbing had no regrets at all.

The main thing is, she genuinely felt incredibly happy just now.

"You certainly know how to go along with things."

Cao Jian, having gone along with the idea, realized it was almost ten o'clock and stood up, saying, "I have to get busy. You can stay here for the next couple of days until we take your official photos."

"Brother, stay with me a little longer. I want to hold you. I love the feeling of holding you."

Fan Bingbing didn't want Cao Jian to leave so soon.

"You little vixen, a man should be doing serious business."

Cao Jian got up and went to the bathroom to shower, turning back with a smile: "I'll deal with you tonight."

"You can clean it every day."

Even if Fan Bingbing is with Cao Jian all the time now, she'd still be willing.

She also stood up and said, "Director Cao, let me help you wash."

After getting up, she quickly hid the sheets before heading to the bathroom.

Just then, there was a knock on the door: "Is Director Cao in?"

"Yes, what's up?"

Upon hearing that it was Cao Jian's assistant, Fan Bingbing agreed, feeling a little proud.

"As expected, it's there."

When the assistant heard that the boss was indeed there, he thought to himself, "This is too much of a playboy."

I just met Fan Bingbing yesterday, and she's already trying to flirt with me today. I don't know how it went or if she succeeded.

Although curious, the assistant didn't dare to ask, only saying, "Please tell Director Cao that Ms. Qiong Yao has been looking for him."

"Go tell Aunt Qiongyao that Director Cao is taking a shower and will be there in a bit."

"it is good."

The assistant had no choice but to agree, but why was the boss taking a shower here?
Are they going to shower together?

Looks like I've already won her over.

Fast, so fast!

He went to the audition venue and quietly told Qiong Yao about it.

"This Xiao Cao actually went to Bingbing's place, and even took a bath together?"

Qiong Yao was completely devastated.

My good friend Liu Xuehua just asked me to take good care of Fan Bingbing yesterday, but less than a day later, Cao Jian messed things up for her.

That's quite fast.

But things had already come to this, and there was nothing Qiong Yao could do.

Now, all we can hope is that Cao Jian can find a way to resolve the current crisis and stop thinking about chasing girls all the time.

As a result, the wait lasted for almost another hour.

"Taking a shower takes so long?"

Qiong Yao really didn't know how many kidneys Cao Jian had, otherwise how could a man take so long to shower?
Who knows what happened in the bathroom.

A dozen minutes later, Mr. Cao arrived at the audition location humming a little tune.

"Director Cao, don't you even look at the time? What time is it?"

As soon as they met, Qiong Yao started complaining.

“My dear Qiongyao, I have something to do. You can start first. Why wait for me?”

Cao Jian glanced at the girl outside the door, picked up the audition list and looked at it, finding that he didn't recognize many of them.

There's someone named Tao Hong, who isn't particularly outstanding, so there's no need to sign him.

There's also Yang Shutong, who's quite pretty, but she's not suitable for this role.

"Besides the audition, there's also the news aspect. What do you think we should do?"

Qiong Yao took out the newspaper, wanting to ask Cao Jian for his opinion.

"Don't worry, let the bullets fly for a while."

Cao Jian is not in a hurry, and it's not the right time to clarify now.

"What do you mean 'fly for a while'? How can I not be anxious? I've poured half a year's effort into the script for this show, and I don't want to be criticized before filming even starts."

Qiong Yao was genuinely anxious. If she let the newspapers report things haphazardly, and with so many people auditioning, it would definitely cause trouble if someone said something inappropriate.

"Ok."

Seeing Qiong Yao's reaction, Cao Jian had no choice but to say, "When you have time, give Liu Xuehua a heads-up and have her tell the reporters that she wanted to play the Empress yesterday, but I refused."

"That's a great idea, why didn't I think of that?"

Upon hearing this, Qiong Yao felt that young people were quick-witted.

Liu Xuehua and her friends were both rejected, so the production team obviously didn't engage in any underhanded dealings.

But she immediately added, "However, this is not enough. What about Fan Bingbing's matter?" "Don't rush Fan Bingbing's matter. Let's take it one step at a time and create some hype for now."

After Cao Jian finished giving his instructions, he said nothing more, but instead said, "You take care of today's arrangements. I have some other things to attend to."

"All you do is slack off."

Qiong Yao had no choice but to arrange auditions with others and confirm other actors.

Cao Jian then took the list selected yesterday and had someone gather all the girls together to prepare for their signing.

As for who should be in charge, he plans to discuss it with Wang Jinghua.

Although this woman is naturally rebellious, if you put a tight rein on her, she will definitely be a good subordinate.

After arranging everything, he called Wang Jinghua and invited her over for dinner that evening, then prepared to talk to those beautiful women.

"Director Cao, phone call."

Just then, Cao Jian's phone rang.

"Hello. Who is this?"

Taking the phone from his assistant, he could only say to the other end, "Director Cao, this is Chen Kaige. I've seen the news in the newspaper. Do you need my help?"

"Director Chen, no need, I can handle it."

"OK then."

On the phone, Chen Kaige was very attentive: "You've come all the way to Yanjing without even saying a word. How about we have dinner together tonight?"

"I'm busy these two days, maybe the day after tomorrow."

Cao Jian had something to discuss with Wang Jinghua tonight and had arranged another time with Chen Kaige. Suddenly, he remembered something and said, "I don't have Gong Li's phone number. Could you please invite her along as well?"

"no problem."

Chen Kaige instinctively wanted to refuse, but couldn't find a reason, so he could only agree.

After making the call, Cao Jian went to the hotel's conference room, where the girls he had chosen the day before had all been invited.

As Boss Cao entered the conference room, all eight girls stood up in unison.

"They're all stunningly beautiful."

Cao Jian glanced at the eight women. None of them were unattractive, whether they were Zhang Ziyi, Chen Hao, Zeng Li, Dong Jie, Wang Yan, Yang Ruoxi, Zhang Tong, or Dong Xuan.

This may be where half of the beauties in the entertainment industry for the next decade are located.

The other half is already in your own bowl.

As for beauties ten years from now, we'll see then.
Hello everyone, please have a seat.

After Cao Jian sat down, he gestured for everyone to sit down and said, "Yesterday's audition was the one I had the most faith in, and you are all very promising girls. I called you all here today to ask if anyone would like to join my company?"

Upon hearing this, the girls all looked at each other.

"I am willing!"

Half a minute later, all eight people said they were willing, and not a single person shook their heads.

“Great. You already have jobs. I’ll find someone to help you. In the next few years, I will develop my career in mainland China and help you find and arrange resources to make you big stars.”

Cao Jian isn't just making empty promises; he genuinely has the ability to deliver.

"Thank you, Director Cao."

When the girls heard that they were going to become big stars, they all stood up and bowed to Cao Jian to express their gratitude.

Even if they don't get to act in "Princess Pearl," joining this genius director's company is a much bigger gain than acting in a TV series.

"That's settled then. Someone will take you to sign the contract."

Now that he's signed the girl, Cao Jian's biggest concern is Wang Jinghua's negotiation that evening.

At the same time, he plans to take advantage of this trip back to Yanjing to buy a building in preparation for developing an entertainment company in mainland China in the future.

"Director Cao, I saw the news about the auditions. Is there anything I can help you with?"

That evening, when Cao Jian met Wang Jinghua, her first question was still about the news from that day.

"It's okay, I'm taking care of it."

Cao Jian shook his head, but from this sentence, he knew that this woman was now in the entertainment industry and probably had some connections.

As for how he acquired his connections, he certainly knew a little about it.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Cao Jian took out the information of the eight girls he had signed contracts with that day and said with a smile, "Miss Wang, what do you think of these girls?"

"They are all excellent."

Wang Jinghua flipped through the documents and was amazed at how good Cao's judgment was.

These girls are all very beautiful. If they were used for public relations, wouldn't it be easier to get more film and television resources?

However, this young man has such high standards when it comes to choosing beautiful women. If he wants to build relationships in the future, won't it be difficult for ordinary women to catch his eye?

"These are all new employees I just signed today."

Cao Jian chuckled and said, "Miss Wang, I plan to establish a film and entertainment company in mainland China. I will not only invest in and produce films and television dramas, but also act as an artist manager."

"Mr. Cao, that's a great idea. With your talent and strength, investing in a film and television company is definitely a promising venture, and it will also guarantee the company's artist resources."

Wang Jinghua was somewhat envious.

Although he is very skilled in artist management, he always has to be mindful of others' opinions.

Because he only has artists but no resources, this is his biggest weakness.

"Since Miss Wang is optimistic about this matter..."

Cao Jian was well aware of Wang Jinghua's shortcomings, and said with a smile, "Are you interested in cooperating with me, bringing your team, and joining my company?"
