Entertainment: Since 1990

Chapter 323 This implantation is absolutely brilliant!

"You are so rude."

In a suite at a five-star hotel, Cao Jian gently stroked the exhausted Lee Hyori and couldn't help but praise her.

"I just thought you were complimenting me."

Lee Hyori looked up from Cho Geun, not only not minding, but also giving him a charming smile and replying in English.

Sure enough, influenced by the Miracle on the Han River, Korean women became just as open as Japanese women in Asia.

"Of course I'm praising you. I rarely praise people like that."

Cao Jian patted Lee Hyori's head comfortably.

This woman not only has a great figure, but her skin is also so delicate that it's irresistible to touch.

The title of the sexiest female star is truly well-deserved.

Nearly an hour later, Cao Jian finally lay on the bed, feeling completely relaxed, and began to smoke.

"They've exhausted everyone."

Lee Hyori also collapsed beside Cao Jian, stroking his firm chest muscles, still immersed in the experience.

"It will be even more tiring in the future."

"???"

"Being a celebrity must be very tiring, so you need to be mentally prepared."

"I thought you were going to keep me by your side."

When Lee Hyori heard that Cao Jian meant becoming a star, she was slightly disappointed.

Whether it's wealth or a man's special skills, this Boss Cao is outstanding. If you can stay by someone like him, why bother striving?
However, if you can really become a star, then it's tiring.

Cao Jian laughed and said, "If you stay by my side, the Korean entertainment industry will lose a top-tier female singer."

"A top-tier female singer? Really?"

"Of course, your advantage is your sexiness. I plan to leverage that advantage and make you the goddess in the hearts of all the men in South Korea."

"Really?"

Upon hearing the phrase "the goddess in the hearts of all Korean men," Lee Hyori immediately looked longingly at it.

What woman doesn't want to be the center of attention?

"You've been working so hard just now. After I'm done with my work, I'll go to Seoul and write a few songs for you."

Cao Jian gently played with the delicate body beside him and instructed, "But after you return to Korea this time, immediately help me register an entertainment company. I will be the investor, and you will be the legal representative. Then start recruiting promising trainees to lay the foundation for the company."

The current Korean pop music scene is quite different. SM Entertainment has only been established for two years, has only created one group, and its popularity is not high.

JYP and YG have only been established for a year and are still relatively unknown. This is the perfect time for them to make a big splash in South Korea.

But Koreans are petty. If a Chinese person like you does too well in South Korea, their fragile hearts definitely can't handle it.

Cao Jian secured Lee Hyori's signature tonight because he planned to make her his spokesperson for Korean pop culture.

"Okay, I'll definitely help you with that."

Lee Hyori's confidence soared upon hearing this arrangement.

Cao Cao won an Oscar, and he wrote the music for it. Just that title alone is enough to make him famous.

Thinking about her future, she immediately clung to Cao Jian again: "You trust me that much? Aren't you afraid I'll run away?"

"Are you willing to?"

"unwilling."

Lee Hyori was truly reluctant to part with the feeling she had just experienced, and even more reluctant to give up her bright future.

She stretched out her fingers and strummed the pipa on Cao Jian's body, smiling seductively, "I want you again."

"If you're not tired, then come on!"

Cao Jian rolled over and pinned the woman beneath him.
The next day, Lee Hyori returned to Korea, and Cao Jian went to the Taiwan branch of his record company.

At this time, the company only had Zhou Chuanxiong releasing albums, which were selling well, but with artists like Jay Chou, Sun Yanzi, Zhang Shaohan, and S.H.E., its future was limitless.

In the conference room, Cao Jian looked at the future stars he had recruited and said with a smile, "You all should focus on developing your musical skills at the company during this time. When the opportunity arises, I will release an album for you."

We will definitely try our best!

Jay Chou, Cai Yilin, and others immediately stood up to express their stance.

Zhang Shaohan, however, was thinking to himself that although he had signed a contract, his current salary was simply not enough to support his family.

For a singer, releasing an album is the most lucrative job.

If my boss could write me a hit song, I'd definitely become famous.

Even so, for the sake of his impoverished family.
By this time, Cao Jian had already explained everything and said, "I'm going to be filming a movie in mainland China for a while, and I'll be going to France in mid-June. See you in Paris then."

We will definitely try our best!

The crowd grew even louder when they heard that they could really go to France.

"good very good."

Cao Jian nodded in satisfaction, then got up and left.

Just as I was about to get into the car, I heard someone call out to me from behind: "Boss, wait for me."

"Shao Han, is something the matter?"

Cao Jian turned around and saw that it was Zhang Shaohan, the future "electric-eyed doll", so he stopped in his tracks.

"Boss, I'd like to release an album sooner, is that okay?"

Although she wanted to earn money to help struggling families, she still hesitated when it came to actually giving herself to them.

After all, she is still young and has some aspirations for love.

Ideally, you'd be able to release an album without putting in any effort.

"Not now. You're only seventeen. Your vocal cords aren't fully developed yet. You should learn music theory and improve your singing skills first. It's not too late to release an album when the opportunity is right."

Cao Jian had heard some things about Zhang Shaohan and knew that this girl, as the eldest child in her family, had always been very ambitious.

She wanted to release an album simply to make money.

But it's really too early now. If you don't lay a solid foundation, you'll probably only have a fleeting moment of fame in the music industry.

As expected, Zhang Shaohan was rejected. He immediately said, "Seventeen years old is not young. Lin Zhiying was already famous at that age. The younger the girl, the more popular she is."

As she spoke, she mustered her courage and took a step closer to Cao Jian, saying softly, "I need money to support my parents, younger brother, and younger sister. Please, boss, just promise me you'll write a song for me. I will... I will repay you properly."

As she spoke the last sentence, a blush rose on her fair face.

"Hey"

Cao Jian shook his head helplessly.

Speaking of Zhang Shaohan's mother, she's practically a vampire. Not only does she slander her daughter, but she also shamelessly uses her daughter as a cash cow.

Fortunately, this girl is hardworking. In order to support her family, she not only sings everywhere but also works in a clothing store. Her actions are quite admirable.

Cao Jian likes women, but he's not without limits.

Although Zhang Shaohan is tall and fair-skinned, and more mature than her peers, she is still young.

He immediately took out a check, wrote a number on it, and handed it to Zhang Shaohan: "Take this money and use it to help with household expenses. If you have any difficulties, let me know."

Seeing the girl's shock at the numbers, he laughed and said, "Making money is a future thing. In a year or two, I'll release a song that will amaze the music scene for you."

"Boss, it's me."

"Take it. Practice hard; that's the best way to repay me."

Cao Jian placed the check in the girl's hand and said with a smile, "If you feel embarrassed, consider this money a loan. You can pay it back after you become famous."

"boss"

Looking at his idol, Zhang Shaohan felt that liking him before was definitely the right thing to do.

The boss was so kind that she actually wanted to repay him with her body.

See you in Paris.

Cao Jian knew the girl was touched, but he didn't say anything more.

Three hundred thousand NT dollars is just pocket money to him, but it is definitely not a small amount to Zhang Shaohan.

She stood at the company entrance, watching the boss walk away, before she came to her senses.

"Why wasn't I bolder just now? The boss is such a nice person, what was I hesitating for?"

Zhang Shaohan inwardly berated herself, looked at the check in her hand, and suddenly said, "Is he implying that he wants to keep me as a sugar daddy?" But then again, it didn't seem so bad.
Two days later, the Shaolin Soccer crew...

"Ah Xing, after the last scene is filmed, edit out some highlights. I plan to take it to France and see if it can be shown at the World Cup."

The huge stadium was packed, filled with cheers.

Cao Jian called over Stephen Chow, who was preparing to film the final scene, and shared his thoughts.

Will they play it?

Even Stephen Chow thought Mr. Cao's idea was a bit far-fetched.

"Even if the opening ceremony isn't shown, it's fine as long as it's played before other matches."

Although years later, the World Cup did use "Shaolin Soccer" as a promotional video, it's really hard to say whether it will be broadcast during the French World Cup.

However, Cao Jian intends to try his best.

The Chinese national football team's poor performance can at least benefit the film's box office by promoting it.

As for whether it can motivate the national football team, that depends on whether they have a sense of honor.

"I'll have someone edit it tomorrow."

Since Stephen Chow started working with Boss Cao, he has experienced a second spring in his life.

The God of Cookery and King of Comedy not only had high box office returns, but also received excellent reviews.

If "Shaolin Soccer" can actually be shown at the World Cup, its box office performance will likely be quite good, not only in China but also internationally.

But can it really succeed?

"Earth is dangerous, you'd better go back to Mars."

The female lead in this drama is not Zhao Yanzi, but Lin Xinru.

However, this girl looks just as good as Zhao Yanzi when she wears a bald hood.

Moreover, although Cao Jian's script is also somewhat satirical, it is not as good as Stephen Chow's, nor is it as exaggeratedly ugly.

The more than 20,000 audience members were all there because they heard that Stephen Chow was filming here, and they came as extras for free, their only reward being a bottle of water each.

On set, the use of wires and other equipment made Stephen Chow's soccer-playing moves look incredibly cool.

"Ah Xing, is the QQ ad I asked you to shoot for Feixun finished yet?"

After watching for a while, Cao Jian got bored and prepared to leave. Before leaving, he asked about QQ.

Stephen Chow laughed and said, "It was filmed a long time ago, and my friends in the crew and I all registered an app. You know what, this app is really useful, I have to support it."

"Could you please integrate this QQ account into this movie?"

"hiss"

This is a bit of a dilemma for Stephen Chow, since the movie is almost finished filming and product placement now might affect the plot.

Cao Jian thought for a moment and suggested, "It's very simple. When that Iron Shirt Third Senior Brother says that times have changed, you can change his line to 'Airplanes fill the sky, computers fill the streets, we use cell phones to make calls, and QQ to chat. Iron Shirt and Golden Bell? What era are we living in now? Wake up!'"

"No problem, this part can be reshot."

"Also, a penguin should be added to Stephen Chow's repaired basketball shoes."

"Brother Jian, your product placement is absolutely brilliant!"

Stephen Chow is quite the master of product placement; the image of a leopard running in this film is a product placement.

It seems that Mr. Cao's product placement strategy is quite effective. With the addition of his own advertisements for QQ, it will be difficult for this chat software not to become a hit.

Cao Jian was just passing through Shenzhen on his way there.

After leaving Shenzhen, Cao Jian stayed in Guangzhou for a few days.

Mobile phone sales are booming these days, not only selling well in China, but also being exported to forty or fifty countries.

On the contrary, VCDs have now become a secondary product to mobile phones.

Such achievements are almost entirely due to Amy Kwok, a fact that Cao Jian cannot deny. It would be a real pity if such a woman continued to be a star.

This time, however, Cao Jian raised an even higher requirement: to develop everything from storage chips to mobile operating systems.

Now that MP3 players have been invented, this little thing is cheap to produce but sells for a high price. Cao Jian plans to develop a chip with larger storage capacity and then start developing MP3 players to make a fortune.

After spending two days with Yang Yuying and her eldest daughter, Cao Jian returned to Yanjing.

At this time, the members of the "Swordsman" crew had only been trained for half a month and were far from meeting Director Cao's requirements.

According to the plan, these people will be trained until Cao Jian returns from France after participating in the World Cup.

As Cao Jian entered the specialized training base, he saw a beautiful woman in a tracksuit stretching her legs under the shade of a tree.

Although the woman is nearly thirty, she still has a strong girlish charm, and also possesses a mature elegance.

Of course, what's most captivating is her stunning figure.

Indeed, only ripe fruit is sweet.

"Director Cao, you're back!"

The woman also saw Cao Jian at this moment, and immediately ran over to greet him, as if she had two rabbits hidden on her body.

"just came back."

Cao Jian composed himself and asked, "How's the training going lately?"

"Not bad. Director, are you back for a surprise inspection?"

Although Xu Qing had never worked with Cao Jian before, she was actually quite grateful to have landed the lead role among a group of beautiful women.

Cao Jian noticed a precious sword lying not far away and laughed, "If you're in the mood for that, then give me a performance?"

The crew's intensive training this time mainly focused on improving martial arts skills, such as swordsmanship.

He was eager to see what this woman looked like when she wielded a sword.

"A little?"

Xu Qing has a cheerful personality. Seeing that the director was really interested, she didn't hesitate. She took the sword and immediately got into a fighting stance and started dancing.

Even though she wasn't wearing a costume, she's beautiful and looks good in anything.

With a flourish of the sword, a backstab, a leap, every movement was exceptionally graceful and beautiful; it seems he had indeed put in some practice recently.

"it is good!"

Although Xu Qing only performed for less than a minute, Cao Jian couldn't help but swallow hard while watching.

She would probably look even better if she wore a theatrical costume.

Playing Linghu Chong myself was definitely the right choice. I'll have many scenes with Xu Qing, and maybe we'll even develop feelings for each other and something wonderful will happen.

Anyway, this kind of thing is not uncommon on film sets.

"I'm sorry to have made you laugh, Director Cao."

Although Xu Qing was polite, her eyes were full of pride. She smiled and said, "Director Cao, you are the male lead. We are all practicing here. Aren't you going to practice for a bit?"

"I do not have time."

"Director Cao, do you know martial arts? Why don't you show me a move so I can learn from you?"

As Xu Qing spoke, she deliberately handed over the sword, her eyes full of cunning.

"That brat, she's deliberately trying to embarrass me. I'll make her beg for mercy after I sleep with her!"

Cao Jian cursed inwardly, then took the sword, glanced at it, and said, "Not bad."

"Of course, my friend bought this for me from Longquan."

Xu Qing praised the sword and urged, "Director, I'm still waiting to learn."

"I didn't change my clothes, I'll just show you a few moves."

As a boss, Cao Jian doesn't like wearing suits and ties; he prefers comfortable casual shoes and casual clothes, so he can easily pull off a few tricks.

Actually, there were other people exercising nearby, but when they saw the director holding a sword, they all gathered around.
Chen Hao, who plays Yilin, is among them.

"Is the director going to demonstrate swordsmanship?"

"Even though he hasn't received any training, he'll definitely be able to pull off a few moves while playing Linghu Chong."

The actors around him, both men and women, all looked at Cao Jian expectantly.

"Buzz!"

Cao Jian suddenly flicked his wrist, and the fine Longquan sword actually emitted a sword-like sound.

This one move immediately shocked the entire audience.
