Entertainment: Since 1990

Chapter 311 The Arrogant Boss Cao
Cao Jian hadn't intended to flirt with Zeng Li, but his charm was simply too overwhelming.

With just one album, he drove fans crazy.

At that moment, a simple advertising slogan was enough to make this beautiful woman's heart flutter.

In fact, Zeng Li is very beautiful. She has a tall figure, delicate features, and a pair of deep and bright eyes. Even in the Central Academy of Drama, where beauties abound, she can be considered the school beauty.

Looking at the beautiful Zeng, who was both shy and happy, Cao Jian took a sip of his milk tea and said, "It's very sweet and fragrant. Thank you."

"You're welcome."

Zeng Li is currently feeling very excited and nervous. She wants to say something more, but she doesn't know how to start.

After all, there were many people watching, and Chen Hao was standing blankly not far away.

She gently brushed a strand of hair behind her ear and said softly, "I'm glad Director Cao likes it."

After saying that, he quickly turned and left.

"This woman usually seems carefree and bold, and she's also very nice."

Looking at Zeng Li's tall and mature figure, Cao Jian revealed a different kind of smile.

He usually likes to laugh, but this laugh is different because every time he laughs like that, a girl is going to be in trouble.

On the other side, Zeng Li hadn't gone far when Chen Hao caught up and asked curiously, "Sister Zeng Li, what did you say to the boss?"

"Nothing said."

Zeng Li is still upset and is thinking about how to find an opportunity to go on a date with her boss.

"Didn't say anything? You can't possibly be the same as you were just now?"

Chen Hao didn't believe it and put his arm around Zeng Li's shoulder: "We're best friends, just satisfy my curiosity."

“I really didn’t say anything. If you don’t believe me, fine. I’ll just give him the milk tea.”

Zeng Li didn't want to say anything, but she found that Chen Hao's curiosity was a bit too much. Did this woman also have feelings for the boss?
Thinking of this, she said, "Then the boss drank the milk tea I gave him and said he wanted to hold me in the palm of his hand. He also said that the milk tea tasted like me, so sweet and fragrant."

"Huh? The boss really said that?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Hao exclaimed, "How romantic! I'm so envious of you!"

"There's nothing to envy."

Zeng Li's vanity was immediately satisfied, and she immediately held her head high and puffed out her chest, as if she had already gotten what she wanted.

"You say you're not envious, but looking at you, I'd think you were a boss lady too."

No matter how good the relationship is between women in normal times, it's all just a facade when it comes to crucial moments.

Chen Hao looked Zeng Li up and down and felt that apart from being shorter than Zeng Li, he was just as good-looking and had the same figure.

If you can do it, so can I!

Although Zeng Li was unintentionally flirted with by Cao Jian, she never had the chance to ask her boss out on a date alone again.

Originally, the director had two beautiful women, Dong Jie and Liu Xiaoli, by his side. In November, Chen Hong, who had recovered quite well after giving birth, also came to the film crew.

Now, with the three beautiful women protecting her, Zeng Li had even less of a chance.

Cao Jian is indeed very busy. In addition to directing, he also has to arrange the expansion of Universal Cinemas in mainland China because "Titanic" is about to be released.

Although its own cinema chain currently only has theaters in a few major cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, and Hangzhou, this wave will definitely make a lot of money.

That same month, filming for "My Fair Princess" wrapped up.

"Boss Cao, are you still not done with your work? When are you coming to Yanjing? The director needs to finalize the program list for the Spring Festival Gala these next few days."

It's already December, and the filming of Chang'e's scenes has only just begun, but CCTV is urging them to start filming almost every day.

"Yang Tai, don't worry, I'll be there as soon as I'm done."

Cao Jian was also anxious, but there was no use in being anxious; he really couldn't afford to slack off on this project.

It's just singing a song on the Spring Festival Gala, why the rush?
Cao Jian wasn't in a hurry, but the chief director of the Spring Festival Gala was.

Although Cao Jian is very famous now, his new album reportedly sold nearly 20 million copies in just over a month, not counting the number of pirated copies.

Even so, Cao Jian, don't you take the Spring Festival Gala too lightly?
I know you're busy, but why don't you come to Yanjing once and show us the program you're preparing for the Spring Festival Gala? What's wrong with that?
Spring Festival Gala director Meng Xin asked the station director after he finished making the phone call, "Director Yang, what did he say?"

"Like I said, I'll come over as soon as I'm done with this."

"Director, I suggest we replace him. This Cao Jian is too arrogant. Without him, will our Spring Festival Gala not be held?"

The director can't wait any longer.

Other actors, no matter how famous they are, would bring their performances long before the Spring Festival Gala was announced.

As a result, Cao Jian not only didn't come, but the station director had to urge him so many times.
"Replace him? No way, Mr. Cao's reputation speaks for itself, and he's from the mainland who later joined Hong Kong. His participation in the Spring Festival Gala has special significance."

"But this person is too arrogant."

Director Meng was still unhappy and said, "I suspect that he hasn't written any good songs yet, which is why he said that?"

"How could that be? He's a recognized compositional genius." "Genius? Hah, are there even geniuses in this world?"

As the two were talking, the office door suddenly opened, and one of the station director's assistants rushed in and said, "Director, Mr. Cao has faxed over a song, saying it's the song he'll be performing at the Spring Festival Gala."

"song?"

The two quickly took over the music, and soon the director felt like he had been slapped in the face.

Not only did Mr. Cao write the song, but he also wrote a very suitable one.

The title "Meet in 98" alone is perfect for the Spring Festival Gala.

Moreover, the song is marked as a duet, with the other person being Hong Kong pop diva Faye Wong.

"The song is good."

The director had to admit that the song was very well written, but he still stubbornly insisted, "It's useless if it's well written but not sung well."

"Don't be angry, Mr. Cao is really busy. His company's mobile phone just went on sale, and he also has to film a movie. He's very busy."

The station director was very satisfied with the song and understood his subordinate's thoughts. He smiled and said, "Let's put this song after Benshan's skit."

"this."

Upon hearing this arrangement, the director said, "Director, Benshan's skits air during prime time. Isn't this a bit inappropriate?"

"Do as I say."

"So, will it be lip-syncing or live singing?"

"Well, let's talk about that when Boss Cao arrives and sings it himself."

The station director couldn't guarantee how well Mr. Cao would sing; if he couldn't, he would have to resort to lip-syncing.

……

December 18, 1997.

Just as "Spring Bright Pigsy" was about to be completed, a movie that could go down in history was released in China.

Before the film was released, many people had already heard about it from the newspapers, and that it had broken the daily box office record in the United States.

After its release in China, the film was equally popular, with tickets becoming extremely difficult to obtain.

It is said that everyone who saw the movie left the theater crying, especially the girls.

Positive word-of-mouth spread domestically, and the movie-going craze continued to heat up.

But one piece of news made domestic audiences, as well as Cao Jian's fans, feel incredibly proud.

That's because the beautiful theme song for this movie, "My Heart Will Go On," was actually composed by Cao Jian.
Hengdian.

"Director, did you really invest in 'Titanic'? And did you write the theme song 'My Heart Will Go On'?"

"Yes."

"This song is so beautifully written, could it win an Oscar?"

"do not know."

"Director, tickets for this movie are so hard to get. Could you ask someone you know to buy me one?"

When the news spread that Cao Jian was the director of "My Heart Will Go On," he was surrounded by several beautiful women from the crew who kept asking him about it.

Chen Hao even wanted Director Cao to help him buy tickets.

Although movie tickets are indeed hard to buy, Chen Hao's goal is not the tickets, but to be able to watch a movie with Cao Jian.

"I'll send you a few another day, but you'll have to see them in Yanjing."

Cao Jian had already heard that after Universal Cinemas entered the mainland, it quickly filled theaters to capacity with its excellent environment, unique movie-watching experience, and the phenomenal success of "Titanic".

There are already two Universal Cinemas in Yanjing, which are his own properties, so buying a few movie tickets is not difficult for Cao Jian.

"Director, I want one too, I want one too."

Other girls will soon want to take advantage of this too.

"Perform well, and you'll get everything."

Surrounded by beautiful women, Cao Jian was getting a little annoyed and could only say, "Film the last few scenes well, or I'll start yelling."

"Ok."

The girls quickly dispersed.

The director looks kind, but when he's filming, he can be quite fierce when he starts yelling at people. Once, Chen Hao was even yelled at so badly that he cried.

But Chen Hao and Zeng Li both had their own ideas when they heard that the boss was giving away movie tickets.

If you have the chance, you should definitely go see the movie with the director.

But what if Liu Xiaoli and Dong Jie, these two henchmen, interfere?
