115 Small Qi and Loans
For this album, Ye Fan is planning to shoot six music videos for "Listen to Mom", "Blue Lotus", "Fly Higher", "The Wind Rises", "Invisible Wings" and "Young Battlefield".
During the three days in Wu City, I mainly filmed "Listen to Mom" and "Invisible Wings".
Zeng Li is going to star in "Invisible Wings", and Sissi will play Zeng Li as a child.
The plot of this MV can be said to be tailor-made for Zeng Li. She started learning opera at a young age, encountered difficulties and setbacks in the middle, and finally succeeded.
Although the plot is old-fashioned, it just depends on who is being filmed. When filming in the afternoon, Liu Xiaoli was deeply moved while watching the story. This story was very similar to her experience.
Originally, according to Wu Ershan's idea, it would be better to replace the opera with dance for the plot of this MV, but Ye Fan would not agree to it because he wanted to make his girlfriend happy.
Moreover, opera is a traditional culture with a long history in our country. Even if the effect of the MV is mediocre, Ye Fan will continue to do it.
The filming location was Zeng Li's old club - the Hubei Province Peking Opera Troupe. The leaders of the troupe learned that Ye Fan and Zeng Li were going to shoot a MV with the theme of opera. They were very happy. They didn't charge for the venue fee and were very cooperative in helping.
.
Zeng Li was surprised and happy that her old boss gave her such face. Do she and Ye Fan have such a high reputation?
However, Ye Fan had some suspicions. After all, in this era, the development of the opera industry is very difficult. If it weren't for official support, it's hard to say what kind of development it would have been. Otherwise, Zeng Li wouldn't have left his iron job and gone to school again.
Therefore, in the context of commodity economy and globalization, the theater industry has slowly shown a diversified development trend, and has entered market-oriented operations half-heartedly, in order to find a suitable space for its own survival and development.
And Ye Fan's arrival is a very good way of publicity. With Ye Fan's album sales, at least millions of people can see the opera content.
This was not Ye Fan's guess, because at this time, many people in the Peking Opera Troupe took Ye Fan's pirated albums and asked him to sign them, some for themselves and some for their children. Anyway, there were a lot of pirated albums.
Ye Fan's mouth twitched and he couldn't say anything, so he could only sign one by one.
Since Sissi has never studied opera, but she has a foundation in dance, she just needs to learn some basic moves, and the MV will not feature opera singing, so in the afternoon, she mainly shot Zeng Li's scenes, with Sissi learning first, and then re-shooting.
At half past five, Ye Fan and Xiao Qi finally met in a private room of a certain hotel.
"Brother Xiao Qi, I finally meet you." Ye Fan held Xiao Qi's hand and said with a smile, "Congratulations on your album sales exceeding 1 million copies."
"It's all thanks to you, otherwise the sales would be so good during this time." Xiao Qi said with a smile, "So I still want to thank you again."
"It's just a coincidence that "Heart Is Too Soft" is already very popular in the Mainland. You will know this news sooner or later. Come, sit down and talk." After saying that, Ye Fan introduced the others to Xiao Qi.
Since Xiao Qi also had an assistant, when he introduced Zeng Li, he just said that she was his classmate and the protagonist of a MV.
Xiao Qi recognized Zeng Li at a glance and said with a smile: "I know, isn't this Lan Feilin? I've also seen "The Sky of Eighteen" and it was very well shot."
Upon hearing this, Ye Fan knew that Xiao Qi had done his homework, but it also reminded Ye Fan of the two markets in Hong Kong and Taiwan.
If I could sell "The Eighteen-Year-Old Sky" there, I could make some money, but I'm afraid that they would look down on mainland TV dramas and give me a very low price.
Liu Xiaoli has also listened to "Heart Is Too Soft" and likes this song very much. Knowing how popular this song is now, she was surprised to see Xiao Qi in person today, and seeing his attitude towards Ye Fan, Liu Xiaoli was once again amazed in her heart
Ye Fan’s connections.
After looking at her daughter sitting beside her, Liu Xiaoli made up her mind.
During the meal, Ye Fan asked about Xiao Qi's father. Xiao Qi said that his father was staying in his hometown for two days and that he came here specifically to meet Ye Fan today.
While talking, Xiao Qi also told some interesting things he encountered while sweeping the grave. Two days ago, when Xiao Qi took his father to sweep the grave, he accidentally discovered that there was his father's tombstone. Xiao Qi was very angry on the spot, but his father gave him
After explaining it, he felt relieved.
During the war years, Ren's father and his cousin participated in the war together, but they were separated due to the war. After Ren's father moved to Wanwan to fight, due to well-known reasons, he could not return to the mainland, so he had to settle down in Wanwan.
But his cousin stayed in the mainland. When he returned to his hometown, he saw that Ren's father had not returned. Everyone thought he was dead, so this tombstone was created.
Everyone was sighing after hearing this, what a fate.
Ye Fan immediately expressed that he wanted to visit his next father in the evening, and Xiao Qi happily agreed.
Xiao Qi's hometown is in Jiangxia District, which takes more than an hour to drive. Because Zeng Li has a heavy role tomorrow, only Ye Fan and Wang Jinghua will go there together.
It was already past nine o'clock when we arrived at Xiao Qi's hometown.
Ren's father also knew Ye Fan's name, and was very happy to see Ye Fan come to visit him. He talked with Ye Fan about this and that, and even invited Ye Fan to go to Wanwan to play.
Ye Fan also smiled and agreed, and invited them to go to Yanjing for two days. Originally, Xiao Qi also had this plan, and agreed with Ren's father.
After chatting until ten o'clock, it was almost time to meet. They made an appointment with Xiao Qi to meet in Yanjing, and Ye Fan and Wang Jinghua left.
In mid-May, Ye Fan really needed to go to Wanwan, because the 8th Golden Melody Awards was about to be held. The organizer also told Ye Fan that the awards would be awarded fairly, and hinted that Ye Fan would definitely win the grand prize.
Only then did Ye Fan agree to go.
Due to the tight shooting time, there were only three days during the holiday. On May 3rd, the filming of Zeng Li's scenes was concentrated, and the scenes of Ye Fan and Qian Qian would be reshot later.
Fortunately, Zeng Li has a solid foundation in opera and the shooting speed was very fast. The filming was finally completed at 6 pm.
Wu Ershan was left behind to film Sissy's scenes, and after a quick dinner, Ye Fan took Zeng Li and Wang Jinghua to catch the last flight back to Yanjing...
Noon on the 5th, a hotel outside the Chinese Theater
"Second uncle, are you sure? My real estate plus the copyright of novels and music can only lend me a maximum of 30 million?" Ye Fan asked depressedly.
Zhang Xing said helplessly: "Yes, this is still the highest loan amount. Many other banks offer loan amounts lower than this price, but the interest rates they offer are indeed relatively low."
What's the use of low interest rates? As long as the operation is good, after the financial crisis is over, will Ye Fan still care about this interest rate?
Ye Fan shook his head, did not reply, and immediately called Shen Xusheng.
"Uncle Shen, how's the situation going with the bank over there? How much can the highest loan offer me?" Ye Fan said into the phone.
Shen Xusheng said: "I have asked, HSBC is willing to lend 60 million Hong Kong dollars, Standard Chartered and Citigroup are both 50 million Hong Kong dollars, and the interest provided by HSBC is lower than Standard Chartered and Citigroup. They are both very optimistic about your novels and music.
copyright and subsequent income.”
"As for real estate, the banks here don't accept mortgages on properties from other places, so you don't need to mortgage your property, and the amount is about the same."
Ye Fan said decisively: "I won't consider HSBC. I'll just choose Citi. Then I won't mortgage my property first. I'll pay back the interest later. The money is almost there. How is the Japanese currency now?"
Shen Xusheng was also very sensible and did not ask Ye Fan why he did not choose HSBC. He said: "You did not increase leverage. Your money is currently floating around 30 million. If you quit now, you will have made 5 million Hong Kong dollars."
Ye Fan thought for a while and then said: "Then increase the leverage by 10 times and wait until I notify you when you want to exit. You can help me with the bank loan procedures as soon as possible. I will go to Hong Kong Island to sign the signature later."
"Okay, I'll call you when I'm done." After saying that, Shen Xusheng hung up the phone.
Seeing Ye Fan hang up the phone, Zhang Xing asked curiously: "Xiao Fan, why do you need so much money now?"
Ye Fan smiled and said: "There is a big business over there in Hong Kong Island, which requires a lot of money. I can't tell you the specific situation. You have to keep it secret for me at home. By the way, uncle, how are the sales of Jay Chou's album?
"
Zhang Xing didn't hesitate to ask after hearing this. After all, Xiao Fan has always been very creative, so he replied: "The sales volume is not bad, at least better than Huang Bo's album sales. The feedback and evaluation of the title song "End of the World" are also relatively high. Yan
More than 2,000 copies were sold in Beijing in five days. Statistics from other places will have to wait for some time."
After hearing this, Ye Fan nodded. Jay Chou's new album "End of the World" will be released on May 1st. For the sake of fairness, Ye Fan did not help with the platform to avoid Huang Bo's thoughts.
If the subsequent sales increase and Ye Fan comes out to help say a few words, then there will be no problem.
Ye Fan thought for a while and said: "Second uncle, let's go step by step with the promotion in the mainland. You communicate with Jingwen and ask Jay Chou to go to Wanwan to do some promotion. He is from there, and there are many promotional programs in Wanwan. Take a look.
Can Jingwen arrange for him to participate, maybe it will be more effective."
Zhang Xing agreed upon hearing this, and after chatting with Ye Fan for a few words, he went to contact Jingwen Company.
Ye Fan also has to go back to school to continue typing, because in mid-May, Ye Fan will go to Wanwan and Hong Kong Island. In addition to signing the loan, Leslie Cheung can't wait for the movie script.
So Ye Fan took advantage of the free time in these two days to get out all the homework for this month, so as to avoid having to make up homework every time he came back from leave, which made Ye Fan miserable.
However, the way Chang Li requires students to submit an assignment every week is not clear to Ye Fan, but his screenwriting skills are constantly improving, which makes him write movie scripts much faster, which is an unexpected surprise.
In addition, the reason why Ye Fan did not choose HSBC, apart from the fact that Ms. Meng's incident made him hate this bank very much, was that after returning, the latest novel loan from Huayi Publishing House was sent to him.
Including the novel royalties and album shares from the previous few months, by May, Ye Fan's savings had reached close to 10 million, which gave him a good recovery. This is why he did not want more of the 10 million loan from HSBC.
