No. 15, Hong Kong Island

"By the way, Xiao Fan, several Hong Kong fashion brands contacted me a few days ago." Wang Jinghua said, "They saw your image at the award ceremony and wanted to ask you to be a brand spokesperson. What do you think?"

A fashion brand in Hong Kong finally contacted me and I attended the award ceremony twice. As expected, my well-groomed image was indeed in vain.

So Ye Fan replied: "What brands are there, what are the quotations and years?"

Wang Jinghua didn't need to think about it, and immediately said: "I have filtered all the small brands for you, leaving the three largest brands, Baleno, Zodano, and Bossini."

"The quotations are 2 million, 1.5 million, and 1.8 million respectively, all in Hong Kong dollars. This price is considered the level of a second-tier star in Hong Kong Island, but I think we can talk about the price. It should be no problem if it is mentioned as a first-tier star."

"The term is usually between 2-4 years. This is relatively flexible, but the minimum is generally 2 years."

Ye Fan thought for a while and said: "As long as there is no conflict between sportswear and Anta, we can negotiate. The term should not exceed 2 years. Choose whichever one is more expensive."

Ye Fan only wanted to sign for one year, but unlike later generations, the speed of information dissemination is limited. Generally speaking, endorsements only take one year to show some improvement, and two years to see the effects of the endorsement.

Wang Jinghua heard this and ordered everything, ready to find time to talk to several clothing brands.

Ye Fan knew that this was just the beginning. With the return of Hong Kong Island and the development of the mainland's economy, any Hong Kong businessman interested in the mainland market would consider him, a star with great influence in the mainland.

Ye Fan asked again about the advertising effects of several brands he currently endorses. Wang Jinghua also understood that the revenue of those five merchants had greatly increased last year.

In particular, BBK's development has been extremely astonishing. BBK was only established in 1995, and even then it dared to ask Ye Fan to endorse it.

In its previous life in 1997, BBK occupied the second position in the domestic market. Now with Ye Fan's endorsement, its sales volume is on par with Aiduo VCD.

Anta's revenue has also made a big breakthrough. The sales in 1996 were twice as much as in 1995, exceeding 10 million, and the profits were in the millions. Compared with 1995, I don't know how many times it has increased.

Ye Fan is also very cooperative. As long as conditions permit, he always wears sportswear provided by Anta in public places, and wears it in private quite a lot.

Moreover, Ye Fan has won many awards in the past two months and has become more and more famous in the mainland. This year, Anta's revenue in the first quarter exceeded 10 million, and many people bought it because of Ye Fan.

This made Boss Ding grin from ear to ear. He even called Wang Jinghua and said that Ye Fan was a model spokesperson. When the contract expired, he would pay a lot of money to renew Ye Fan's contract.

Hearing this, Ye Fan was also happy. It could help domestic products grow ahead of schedule, and the money was not in vain.

While chatting, Ye Fan and others arrived at Li Lianjie's house. Shen Xusheng and people from Standard Chartered Bank were already waiting.

Although Shen Xusheng had confirmed that there was nothing wrong with the contract, Ye Fan still read it over in person and only signed his name after confirming that there was nothing wrong with it.

After Shen Xusheng and others left, Ye Fan gave Jet Li the scripts of "The Devotion of Suspect X" and "The Guy in My Body" and asked him to pass the other one to Leslie Cheung because after lunch

, Ye Fan is about to rush to Wanwan.

Li Lianjie looked at the script and couldn't put it down and said: "Xiao Fan, are you ready to vote for these two scripts?"

Ye Fan thought for a while and said: "Then it depends on how much investment you bring in. I don't have much money to use now. I'll see what happens when the time comes."

Li Lianjie agreed: "Yes, my remuneration is quite good. Now that I have a book, I can go talk to the film investment company. I will tell you when there is news."

Ye Fan responded with a smile. Seeing Wang Jinghua's interested expression, Ye Fan realized something and said: "Brother, when the time comes, the candidates for the actors, except you and me, are all from Hong Kong Island. Give it to us."

Leave some space for mainland actors, there are still many actors under Sister Hua's side."

Wang Jinghua heard this and smiled gratefully at Ye Fan. Li Lianjie's face turned a little serious. After taking the test, he said, "I can only say my best on this. After all, you are more or less aware of the issues involved."

Of course Ye Fan understands that the golden age of Hong Kong films has only been around for a few years. Let’s open up a window first. When Hong Kong films decline and films that are not easy to make in the Mainland come to Hong Kong to be filmed, they will sell well at the box office and no one will be able to make money for the film and television companies.

, who has the right to speak?

After lunch, Ye Fan and others headed to Wanwan...

Ye Fan looked at Jay Chou and asked, "How are your album sales these days?"

"Not bad, I have sold 5,000 copies in Taipei in the past few days." Jay Chou said a little excitedly: "Thanks to the help of Brother Xiao Qi, he has promoted it for me in the past few days, so I can achieve this result."

Ye Fan also nodded happily and encouraged: "Then you can stay here for a while longer and focus your publicity here. When you are done here, you can go back to Yanjing and spend more time with your mother.

"

Jay Chou nodded happily, then hesitantly said: "However, in the past two days, UFO, Rolling Stones and Wu Zongxian have all approached me and wanted to sign me, and persuaded me to stay in Wanwan to develop, and also asked me to terminate my contract with you.

"

Ye Fan couldn't help but asked with a smile: "Then what do you think?"

Seeing that Ye Fan was not angry, Jay Chou plucked up the courage and said, "Brother Fan, you are very kind to me, and I also like life in Yanjing. Moreover, you only signed a three-year contract with me. If I terminate the contract with you because of this,

, what kind of man is that, so I refused."

Ye Fan was a little surprised, not at his choice, but at when Jay Chou became so good at talking, so he asked with a smile: "This is not like what you usually say, you thought of it yourself?"

Jay Chou said with a rare smile: "My thoughts are similar to what I said, but the rest is what my mother told me, telling me to be grateful as a person."

Ye Fan burst into laughter, patted the specialties brought from Yanjing and said, "When I came to Wanwan this time, I just wanted to visit your mother. If you can say this, your mother is great."

Hearing that Ye Fan praised her mother and wanted to visit her in person, Jay Chou smiled and agreed.

It can be said that today is the day when Jay Chou smiles the most. Everything is going in a good direction. His gratitude to Ye Fan comes from the bottom of his heart.

In the evening, Ye Fan and Jay Chou came to the restaurant that Xiao Qi had arranged. The two met and exchanged pleasantries.

While eating, Xiao Qi suddenly smiled and said: "By the way, Xiao Fan, I received a notice from the company when I came back. I will also participate in the Golden Melody Awards tomorrow. Don't be sad if you lose to me then."

"Oh?" Ye Fan also smiled and said, "Congratulations to you. If you lose to someone else, I will definitely not be convinced. But if you say it, then I can still accept it."

What Ye Fan said was true, and Xiao Qi could feel it, so he burst into laughter, but his main purpose was to thank Ye Fan.

Although his album was released last year, if Ye Fan hadn't made his album famous in advance, and when "Heart Is Too Soft" naturally fermented and the news spread to Wanwan, I don't know when it would have happened.

At that time, the Golden Melody Awards were over, and if Xiao Qi wanted to win any awards, he would have to wait until next year.

However, Ye Fan also had his own purpose. Looking at Xiao Qi who was in a good mood, Ye Fan asked: "Brother Xiao Qi, I'm not very familiar with Wanwan. If it's convenient for you, can you help me find a lyricist?"

It’s better to be famous and not famous.”

"Huh? Why do you find such a lyricist?" Xiao Qi asked doubtfully: "Don't you write lyrics and music for all your songs? I also want to ask you to help me write a song."

Ye Fan glanced at Jay Chou and said: "It's not me, it's for Jay Chou. He will release an album later. There is a lyricist from Wanwan. It would be more suitable to match him. I am also busy later and may not have time to help.

He writes lyrics, and as long as you can help me find them, there will definitely be no problem in writing a song for you."

Jay Chou heard that Ye Fan was doing it for him. Although he was confused as to why he hired an unknown lyricist, he was still very touched and said thank you to Ye Fan.

When Xiao Qi saw that Ye Fan was doing it for Jay Chou and was willing to write songs for him, he immediately said that he would use his connections to find the lyricist.

Ye Fan nodded and said to Jay Chou: "When the time comes for the lyricists that Brother Qi has hired, you should first take a look at their works. If you think they are suitable, show them to me. If possible, I will sign them."

After listening to this, Jay Chou nodded heavily and said he would carefully screen.

After eating, Xiao Qi took Ye Fan and Jay Chou for a stroll in the urban area of ​​Wanbei City. When they walked to a snack street, Ye Fan saw the words "Qili Xiang" written on many stalls and couldn't help but look at Jay Chou.

Jay Chou was puzzled by the sight and asked: "Brother Fan, what's wrong? Is there something on my face?"

Ye Fan shook his head and asked with a smile: "Isn't this Qilixiang a kind of flower? Why are they sold in the snack street in large quantities?"

Xiao Qi said with a smile: "Qilixiang is indeed a kind of flower, but here, the locals here call it chicken butt, which is considered a delicacy here."

Ye Fan was really stunned by this answer. After being stunned for a while, he slowly said: "Then do you think it is possible that there will be a singer using Qilixiang's name as a song title in the future?"

Xiao Qi thought for a while and said, "There shouldn't be any here in Wanwan. Most people here know the meaning of this name. There are still singers who don't know the meaning."

Jay Chou also agreed and said: "Yes, although the name Qilixiang sounds nice, it would be disgusting if others knew that we are talking about chicken butts. I will not use Qilixiang as the title of the song."

Ye Fan suppressed his smile and said slowly: "It's a pity. Originally, I thought the name Qilixiang was very artistic, so I'll leave it to the people who are destined to come up with the song name."

When Xiao Qi and Jay Chou thought about that scene, they both laughed. When Ye Fan saw the cheerful Jay Chou, he thought to himself: 'I hope you won't break your promise in the future, otherwise I will laugh about this joke for the rest of my life.'

After the few of them walked around for a while, Ye Fan mentioned that the time was limited and he wanted to visit Jay Chou's mother tonight. Xiao Qi also understood, and then Ye Fan went home with Jay Chou.

Ye Huimei was very happy and enthusiastic when she saw Ye Fan coming to see her in person. After chatting for a while, she kept thanking Ye Fan for taking care of Jay Chou.

What else could Ye Fan say, he could only keep being humble and say that Jay Chou himself was talented, otherwise why would so many people choose him? He was embarrassed to praise Jay Chou, and Ye Huimei was also very happy to hear it.

In front of Ye Fan, Ye Huimei warned Jay Chou to be grateful and listen to Ye Fan's arrangements. Ye Fan was also happy when he heard this, and the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.
