525 One day trip to Cao Xuan, which is hotly discussed by netizens
Before opening the door, Cao Xuan was eating. Now that Nagasawa Masami and the others are here, they will continue eating without delaying him.
Cao Xuan's breakfast was very simple, consisting of two plain pies, two boiled eggs, a few pieces of beef, fruit and water.
"I have filming to do later, so I have to stay in shape and eat lightly."
Seeing everyone's curious looks, Cao Xuan explained, and then asked Nagasawa Masami: "Have you had breakfast? I'll get you some."
"Isn't it troublesome?"
Nagasawa Masami actually ate it, but for the sake of the effect of the show and her own little thought, she still looked at Cao Xuan expectantly.
"No trouble, it will be quick."
Cao Xuan went to the refrigerator and rummaged through it, asked Masami Nagasawa about her taste, and made a simple bowl of tomato and egg noodles.
Omelette and fried tomatoes were cooked under the water in one go and delivered to the table in less than ten minutes.
The red tomato soup is paired with golden fried eggs and milky white noodles, with a few artificial green chopped green onions sprinkled on top. The various colors complement each other. Cao Xuan nodded with satisfaction. It looks pretty good and is not embarrassing.
"Si Guoyi."
Masami Nagasawa was very supportive. When she was cooking, she even exclaimed that when Cao Xuan cut a tomato, she had to say something about his awesome knife skills.
After seeing the finished product and eating a few more bites, Nagasawa Masami even kept saying rainbow farts: "Well, it's so delicious. This is the most delicious noodle I have ever eaten."
Cao Xuan was a little speechless: "It's just the most common noodles. No one buys them when they are sold outside. Don't be too exaggerated."
Nagasawa Masami then calmed down, but still asked curiously: "Onisan, I just saw that you are very skilled in cooking. Do you cook often?"
"Two years ago it was okay, but now it's very rare."
Cao Xuan doesn't bother to set himself up as a chef king or a person who leads a positive and healthy life, to tell the truth.
"I'm usually too busy with work, so chefs or aunties basically do the cooking. For example, my meal today was prepared and delivered to me by someone else. I'm lazy, so I only cook it occasionally when I'm interested.
I have an interview today, so I’m just going to give you a little show, but I’m just going to make some noodles or some home-cooked food, it’s really complicated for me and I can’t do it.”
"It's already very good, it's really delicious, and this is the noodle made by the King of the World. I think your fans will envy you to death."
Nagasawa Masami's words really come from the heart.
Tomato egg noodles are easy to make, and as long as you adjust the taste correctly, the taste will not be bad. In addition, with the aura of Cao Xuan cooking it himself, it is a strong bonus for a fan girl like Nagasawa Masami.
As if she wanted to say more than just polite words, Masami Kuranazawa ate the whole bowl of noodles in one go, and even drank the soup.
"Hiccup~"
Seeing Masami Nagasawa holding her stomach with satisfaction, Cao Xuan drank the last sip of water and couldn't help but complain.
"Among the female artists I've seen, you have a big appetite."
Nagasawa Masami: "..."
"Let's go to the Bird's Nest."
Cao Xuan looked at the filming team and seriously reminded: "Your cameraman can only be in the dressing room or backstage, and can never take pictures of the process or program. My people will follow you then.
Again, I'm not kidding you. If you don't obey, you won't be able to leave China before the Olympics starts, and I will tell your president everything."
In fact, similar photographer teams are not uncommon at opening ceremonies. CCTV, foreign media, and specialized documentary teams are also included.
In principle, these photographers can participate in interviews and some behind-the-scenes recordings, but the premise is that key information must not be revealed before the opening ceremony.
With the current cooperation between Cao Xuan and Dongbao, the other party would never offend Cao Xuan, but just in case, Cao Xuan still issued a stern warning.
The previously amiable superstar suddenly turned into an oppressive tycoon, and everyone nodded cautiously.
Cao Xuan is not worried that his "change of face" just now was caught on camera. Dongbao's finished program cannot be broadcast until Fanxing nods, so there are only warnings in it, and any threats and warnings will definitely be eliminated.
Even though he had been given a stern warning, Cao Xuan still treated it with caution. After all, the Korean media had almost leaked part of the process of the Beijing Olympics opening ceremony before.
However, it is worth mentioning that the leak by the Korean media in the original time and space is true, but the opening ceremony did not change any procedures because of the leak.
It is rumored that Phoenix Ignition was abandoned because of insufficient technical capabilities, poor presentation, and not necessarily stable. The project of Kuafu Chasing the Sun was also abandoned because the director team felt it was inappropriate.
The real leaks of Bangzi's original time and space are mainly the dolphin images and "You and Me".
But now that Cao Xuan was there, he had been on guard against them for a long time. He caught them and gave Bangzi a shameless face. At the same time, he also made the relevant confidentiality measures more stringent.
When he came backstage, Cao Xuan just asked the team to take a picture in the dressing room, and then filmed the behind-the-scenes communication between Cao Xuan and some of the team.
Then everyone stayed in the lounge the whole time, with a bodyguard and a staff member taking turns watching over them, and not letting anyone wander around at all.
It wasn't until almost 3 o'clock in the afternoon, when today's opening ceremony rehearsal ended, that Cao Xuan changed his clothes and came to the lounge.
"I'm sorry. It's a major national event. I hope you can understand. I'm treating you to a treat. You can order whatever you want."
Cao Xuan found a high-end hotel in Beijing and treated the team to a feast.
After the stick came the sweet dates. Cao Xuan was very familiar with the game. The team that was still a little resentful at first also dissipated a lot. Instead, they took the initiative to help Cao Xuan speak up.
"Cao Sang is actually right. If our country hosted the Olympics, we would be so careful."
"It's all the fault of those Koreans. Their sneaky photos have caused a very bad impact. That's why Cao Sang and the others are so cautious."
"Cao Sang is so generous. This meal costs almost 200,000 yen. It is really a luxurious meal."
"You can feel like a spring breeze, and you can also be like a thunderous thunder. This is the real superior person."
"..."
It might be too much to say that the Japanese are a bit mean-spirited, but their strong-willed mentality is indeed very strong.
Show off your muscles once in a while and give it a little sweetness, and they will automatically cover you with layers of halos and filters.
After having enough food and wine, the show continued filming.
Cao Xuan simply took the team to Fanxing Building. There is a special prop showroom here, which contains some classic props and costumes from Fanxing Film and Television and variety shows. It can also be regarded as a kind of accumulation and display of the company's heritage.
Naturally, many props from "Three Kingdoms: Red Cliff" are also here. Cao Xuan did not forget that the important purpose of this interview was to promote the movie.
Although the Fanxing Building is not tall enough, it occupies a large area. Masami Nagasawa asked on behalf of the audience.
"Does this building belong to you?"
"Well, to be precise, it belongs to Fanxing Group."
Cao Xuan smiled, but Masami Nagasawa refused to give up and asked: "I know that Fanxing is a company founded by you. It is not only the largest film and television entertainment company in China, but also one of the best in Asia. The outside world is very curious. What exactly do you do?
How many shares do you have in Fanxing?"
"Only a few hundred million points."
Cao Xuan made a gesture of regret for losing the Korean market, but everyone knew that there was an unknown amount of wealth between his slightly pinched fingers.
Even Nagasawa Masami was a little speechless, but she also realized that Cao Xuan didn't want to talk more about wealth, so she took the initiative to change the topic.
"Onisan, can you take us to visit the stars? I've heard in Japan that you created an entertainment empire in just ten years. Everyone is curious about what's inside the stars."
"no problem."
There is nothing taboo about this, so Cao Xuan simply picked a few points that he found interesting and took the camera crew through them.
"This is our screenwriting department. More than 90% of Fanxing's scripts are produced in this department. This is also the department with the most freedom for Fanxing. No salary will be deducted for arriving late and leaving early, and you can even miss work freely, as long as the manuscript is delivered on time."
Cao Xuan pointed to the screenwriting department with ten rooms and nine empty rooms, and smiled helplessly.
It is difficult to expect professional screenwriters to work at work. There are no strict working rules for editors and screenwriters within Fanxing. In principle, except for some related meetings, it is usually very free, and it is difficult to see most screenwriters.
But it’s not like there aren’t screenwriters reporting every day.
After all, Fanxing provides lunch, a long-term free supply of office drinks, coffee, tea and snacks, a free gym and recreation room, and there is a certain commuting subsidy for those who complete attendance every month.
The most important thing is that the company's Internet speed is very good, and playing games is smoother than many Internet cafes. If you are single, besides not having a bed to sleep in, the company is really more comfortable than at home.
When Cao Xuan and the others first arrived, they caught two screenwriters playing a game. Although they were cutting through the web page very quickly, Cao Xuan, who had a keen eye, still caught the picture.
The popular map transport ship in the most popular shooting game "Cross Fire" jointly operated by Box Games and Penguin.
When their boss saw them playing games, the two screenwriters were dumbfounded and pretended to be playing with the computer, their hearts pounding.
When Cao Xuan saw this, he couldn't help but shook his head. His mental quality was still not good enough.
"It's silly. If I encounter this kind of situation in the future, you will say that I am experiencing first-person shooting and actually feeling the atmosphere of a gun battle. It seems like I am playing a game, but in fact I am looking for inspiration for the action plot behind the script."
"Wonderful!"
The two screenwriters looked at each other, suddenly realized, and looked at Cao Xuan with admiration.
It’s you who can make up lies without blushing!
Cao Xuan smiled and patted the two screenwriters who had survived the disaster: "But you two were indeed playing games just now. Manager Wang, according to company regulations, 100 yuan will be deducted from their wages."
Leaving the two screenwriters in tears, Cao Xuan took Masami Nagasawa, who was laughing and laughing, to the next location.
Masami Nagasawa never forgets the interview: "Do you also play computer games? I see you have a lot of gaming industry."
"I like playing games, but my skills are average, so I rarely play competitive games and prefer to take shortcuts."
"Cheating?"
Nagasawa Masami also knew something about the game, but was not very proficient in it. She thought Cao Xuan was cheating, and Cao Xuan shook his head.
"If cheating is not good, I just top up money. Spending some money can save a lot of time and give you a happy gaming experience. This is what one of my partners taught me."
Cao Xuan felt that what he just said was meant to encourage players to make money, so he dragged Ma Xiaoge to take the blame.
This does not mean that he has wronged Brother Ma. It is indeed Brother Ma who taught him how to be strong by spending money...
With the screenwriting department serving as a warning to other monkeys, the news that Cao Xuan came to the company immediately spread throughout Fanxing Building through QQ groups and text messages.
Wherever they go, employees are not slacking off at all, working hard and concentrating, which makes capitalists cry with joy.
Cao Xuan was too lazy to care about these dramatic employees and took Masami Nagasawa and others to visit several departments and branches, as well as some canteens and auditoriums.
Among them, Masami Nagasawa and the others are most interested in certain anime and fox anime.
Needless to say about the latter, Japanese people are very sensitive to animation. They even saw Japanese compatriots in the company and were hired by Fanxing with huge sums of money as consultants. Their resumes shocked even knowledgeable Japanese people.
As for the online article, Cao Xuan did not explain it with similar Japanese light novels when introducing it to them, but gave a very grand introduction.
"It is currently one of the most popular entertainment methods among young people in China and is likely to change the industry in China's entertainment ecosystem in the future."
Nagasawa Masami was confused about this, but when she heard that many online writers wrote tens of thousands of words a day, she still covered her mouth in surprise.
Whether it is anime or light novels in Japan, people are diligent in weekly updates. There are very few daily updates and the number of words updated is also very small.
Like this, there are ten thousand words or more every day, and it is not an exception. There must be at least a dozen authors. Most of the updates by other authors are more than a few thousand words, which is really beyond their scope of understanding.
Regarding this, Cao Xuan could only say that they were rare and strange.
In the early days of online writing, there were still relatively few tentacle monsters, and their outbreaks occurred one after another. Only a few public enemies in the industry like Xuehong could become tens of thousands every day.
It's not like in later generations, when authors were writing so much that ten thousand a day was the norm, and there were not a few who made twenty thousand a day, and some powerful people even worked as high as forty thousand a day.
The industry environment is extremely harsh, and the happy era of online article authors is gone forever...
Nagasawa Masami was very curious about this group of online article writers, and was still feeling emotional on the way to the next location.
"I heard from the editor that these authors write very intensively every day, leaving little time to think about the plot. Sometimes they only know the plot one or two days ahead of the readers."
"This is to deceive you amateurs."
Cao Xuan waved his hand and told the truth: "Most authors only know the plot a few hours in advance before the readers, and they write each chapter every day as they think."
"Si Guoyi!"
Nagasawa Masami applauded the authors for their quick wit, while Cao Xuan sneered at the lazy procrastination patients.
Finally, we arrived at the Props Exhibition Hall, which was quite large, covering several thousand square meters. There were many costumes and props on display, and there were countless stills and photo frames on the surrounding walls.
Cao Xuan mainly introduced the costumes and props of "Three Kingdoms·Red Cliff" and took out a Han sword.
"This is Cao Cao's Heavenly Sword in the movie. It is a 1:1 real Han sword modeled on the historical restoration. You can hold it in your hand and feel its weight."
Nagasawa Masami weighed the sword and felt its heavy hand: "It's really heavy. Aren't the actors tired of holding it during filming?"
"Tired, sometimes there are substitutions. The appearance of the hilt and scabbard are exactly the same, but the weight is much lighter. However, Teacher Bao... the actor who played Cao Cao in the movie is very dedicated and has basically changed the props."
Then, Cao Xuan took Masami Nagasawa to take a look at Zhou Yu's armor: "This appears on the upper part, and it is a restoration we made based on unearthed cultural relics and murals.
There is also a set of armor that Zhou Yu wore during the decisive battle. It is more beautiful and gorgeous. It is in my personal collection and is not here. You can wait until the movie is released to see it."
After that, Cao Xuan took everyone to browse the Han Dynasty costumes of Zhuge Liang and Xiao Qiao, the full costumes and armor of ordinary soldiers, the miniature model of the Red Cliff warship, etc.
It can be regarded as a very detailed demonstration of the intention of serving the Tao in "Three Kingdoms·Red Cliff", and it also completed the promotional purpose of the movie.
To satisfy the publicity needs, Nagasawa Masami also focused on other props.
"I know this. The watch Ding Qing gave to Li Zicheng in "The New World". Is this the Feiyu suit in "Xiu Chun Dao"? Ah, Wang Sheng's sword in "Painted Skin"..."
Masami Nagasawa is indeed a die-hard fan of Cao Xuan and knows all the movies Cao Xuan has acted in.
Cao Xuan was also very considerate to this celebrity fan. Knowing that Nagasawa Masami's favorite movie of his was "When a Man Falls in Love", he gave her a set of couple costumes worn by the male and female protagonists in the movie.
When "When Men Are in Love" was being filmed, Fanxing didn't have a prop gallery, nor did they consciously collect related props, so there were very few props in this movie, which was quite generous for Cao Xuan, who has a collecting habit.
At the end of the program, Masami Nagasawa and the camera crew wanted to have a closing interview in Cao Xuan's office.
Cao Xuan hesitated for a moment, but still did not refuse, so everyone saw Cao Xuan's super large office with an office area of only 200 square meters.
But there is a saying that there are offices that are more exaggerated than Cao Xuan.
The 500-square-meter office area may surprise Nagasawa Masami and others, but with the door of the functional area closed and only the office area visible, it is not an exaggeration.
Sitting on the reception sofa in the office, Cao Xuan accepted the last interview.
We talked about the creation of the movie "Three Kingdoms: Red Cliff", some of my personal insights over the past two years, as well as various stories and true words with Japanese fans.
At the end of the interview, this program of observing Cao Xuan for a day can be considered officially recorded.
Masami Nagasawa really wanted to get up close and personal with her idol, but both of them had tight schedules, so they made an appointment for dinner and hurried back to Japan with the team.
Taking into account the schedule and the popularity of the Olympics, Toho made urgent production cuts and successfully launched it on TV stations and websites in less than two days.
Regardless of the comments from Japanese netizens and fans, a translation team later translated the entire program into Chinese and sent it back to China, causing a sensation several times greater than in Japan.
[My dear, this courtyard house is worth tens of millions, and Cao Cao has the nerve to pretend to be poor]
[The brother above is out, right? It’s no secret that Cao Xuan owns a courtyard house. I remember an interview before, and someone seemed to have revealed that Cao Xuan’s first investment when he made money was to buy a courtyard house]
[It seems that Wu Song and Pan Jinlian from "Water Margin" broke the news in "A Date with Luyu". The two even laughed at themselves for wondering why Cao Xuan didn't buy a foreign-style house. Later they found out who was the fool]
[Xia Yu seems to have said that Cao Xuan’s family has several courtyard houses, and the closest one can directly see the Forbidden City]
[What’s so good about a courtyard house is that it’s an IQ tax. To buy a house, you have to buy a villa and a mansion]
[Is there a possibility that Cao Xuan also has villas and mansions, and people stock up on all kinds of houses?]
[Ahem, people familiar with the matter can’t say much, so they can only reveal a little. Cao Xuan’s real estate can be divided into buildings, not a building, but a building]
[Cao Xuan is really an investment genius. He had his eye on the real estate market when he first started his career, and then invested all his wealth in Penguin. His courage is extraordinary.]
[A mere third-rate businessman, just lucky (squinting)]
…
[Haha, I deny that I am rich every day. Others are eager to be on the Forbes rich list. As long as Cao Xuan hides it, he even engages in various proxy holdings and tricks for the shares]
[Wealth does not reveal wealth, this is a smart person]
【Pig Killing List, Anyone Who Knows It】
[Interview with Cao Xuan: I have no money, I am very poor]
[Donation Cao Xuan: Is 1 billion enough? I will donate to hundreds more schools]
…
[The food is very simple, not as rich as mine]
[I guess there will be action movies in the future. Cao Xuan really likes to be an actor. If I were so rich, I would eat, drink and have fun every day]
[Actually, it’s normal. If you have enough money, it’s just a number. Many people will choose to find some spiritual pursuits.]
[Oh, the craftsmanship is pretty good, and it’s stylish]
[Haha, I usually work as a nanny, but in order to show off, the boss is so upright]
[This Japanese female host is so disgusting, Cao Xuan is speechless]
[But it looks really delicious, I almost finished the whole bowl]
[I’m so envious. If Cao Xuan could make me a bowl of noodles, it would be worth dying for]
[That’s right, the noodles made by the world’s king and the super rich boiled into lakes and I ate them all]
…
[The dressing room of the Olympic Games is so small that I can’t even sit in it]
[You don’t even look at how many people there are, that is, there is only a separate dressing room where Cao Xuan can hang out]
[That’s Lao Mouzi, what are we discussing?]
[You can’t hear clearly, they are very strict, and they basically don’t show any pictures]
[It’s right to keep it secret, be careful with the Wannian Ship]
[What a pity, I originally wanted to get a closer look behind the scenes of the Olympics]
…
[Fanxing Building, I pass by it every day on my way to and from get off work]
[So cunning, life and death are never revealed]
[Haha, I pretend to be poor every day, and the host is speechless]
[Damn it, those two screenwriters are playing games, "Cross Fire", they seem to have been seen]
[Hahaha, Cao Xuan is so hurt, I feel sorry for the two screenwriters]
[RMB player, bah]
[Teaching Cao Xuan must be a penguin horse, you can tell from the QQ show that this guy wants money]
[The employee suddenly became serious, he must have tipped off the news]
[The food in the cafeteria is really good, the key is free, there are snacks, drinks and a gym, what a great boss]
[I want to go to Fanxing to apply for a job, is there any knowledgeable guy who can give me some advice?]
[At a certain point? It turns out that this is also a company under Fanxing, but I just read a book two days ago. In it, Cao Xuan is the villain, and he is slapped in the face by the male protagonist every day]
[Book title, I’ll go read it]
[I wish to reward this warrior with an alliance leader]
[I was very moved when I saw this part of Fox Animation. It spends a lot of money to poach Japanese and Korean elites, and even loses money to make Chinese animation. My perception of Cao Xuan has really changed]
[Fans of national comics are crying, Fox's "Qin Shi Mingyue" and "Zhu Xian" are really the light of national comics, Cao Xuan is awesome]
[Haha, Cao Xuan is an old Internet article reader at first glance, Men Qing]
[I have actually heard that Cao Xuan is a fan of Internet literature before. It is said that the comic version of "Zhu Xian" was adapted because his boss likes it]
[Damn, who can recommend "Star Change" to Cao Xuan?]
["Legend of Masters" and "Tomb of the Gods", please adapt]
["Back to the Ming Dynasty and Become a Prince" is also very interesting]
…
[This props exhibition hall is nice, I don’t know if it is open to the public]
[Ah ah ah, those are Ling'er's clothes from "The Legend of Sword and Fairy"]
[The God Whip in "Feng Shen Bang" really has everything]
[Damn, what kind of luck does this host have? Cao Xuan personally works for him and gives him movie props]
【So jealous】
[Although I like majiang very much, I am really a little jealous at this time]
…
[Cao Xuan’s office is so big]
[Good boy, it’s bigger than my house]
[He really likes Manchester United, and he even hangs a poster of last season’s Champions League winner]
[The painting on the wall looks familiar, it seems to be the item for sale at our auction]
[I found it, Xu Beihong's "Prancing Horse", the black horse, galloping, leaping into the water, and the inscription on the upper left, all match]
【How much is it】
[Sold at the end of last year, the price was 19.28 million yuan]
[...Has anyone organized a group to steal paintings?]
[Already applied for security guard job]
[I’m applying for a secretary job, and we’ll split it 50-50]
…
On August 7, after several months of internal testing, Penguin Weibo was officially launched. Cao Xuan and other celebrities and public figures joined in, causing a sensation.
After joining Weibo, most celebrities just posted a greeting on Weibo as usual, but Cao Xuan posted a photo out of the ordinary.
The "Prancing Horse" that originally hung in the office was taken down, exposing the bare wall, and then included the text
[The painting is a replica and has now been taken down. Friendly reminder: Theft of public and private finances... shall be punished with a fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years; if the amount is huge or the circumstances are serious... more than three years but not more than ten years, and shall also be fined and the proceeds shall be confiscated...]
The translation is: You are still young, don’t go on the road of crime...
