129 Get TV drama investment
Hainan Zhouyi Production Company was founded in 1995 as a film and television production company jointly established by Jiang Xuerou and Zhou Ping.
The company has only been established for two years, and it has not been long since its business started to develop. There are not many artists, so the initial business is mainly film and television investment.
At this time, Yu Bo was still studying vocal music with Li Shuangjiang. In 1999, he was admitted to the Yanjing Film Academy. Zhang Jin was still in the Sichuan Province Wushu Team, and Yang Junyi was also in the Jiangsu Province Wushu Team. The "Three Treasures of Zhouyi" in later generations will be in
We won't be able to get together until after 2000.
Jiang Xuerou and Zhou Ping and his wife wanted to meet Ye Fan to discuss the TV series investment in person, but Ye Fan was afraid that Zhou Yi's landlady would take a fancy to him. If Jiang Xuerou wanted to feed him, Ye Fan was afraid that he could not help but run away.
So Ye Fan found several reasons, saying that he was not free, and asked Wang Jinghua to discuss investment matters with them.
This is the advantage of going to school. It is easy to find reasons to avoid unnecessary social activities.
Moreover, the Chinese Opera is also a good shelter for Ye Fan. Although Ye Fan is not weak now, he is young and has an unstable foundation. Without the status of a student and the protection of the school, other things will definitely go wrong.
a lot of.
For example, the second boss of Huayi used Wang Jinghua many times to ask Ye Fan to meet. Although the reason was that he wanted to discuss investment, who knew what Wang Lao Er wanted to do. Ye Fan was much more handsome than Chen Xiao. In this regard, Ye Fan
Fandu turned down his invitation because he was busy with studies and work.
However, by the time he graduated from college, Ye Fan would have matured and his film and television company would be able to gain a firm foothold in the entertainment industry.
At that time, when Ye Fan appeared in the entertainment industry as a boss, he could instantly become a big boss and save a lot of trouble in the process, so why not do it.
So as for Galloping Horse, Ye Fan simply stopped going and let Wang Jinghua talk.
Wang Jinghua did not disappoint Ye Fan. The result of the discussion made Ye Fan quite satisfied, and Ye Fan decided that after opening a film and television company, she would first try to manage and operate it.
The original version of "Love Through Time" was 28 episodes, but Ye Fan enriched the content and adjusted the insufficient plot, increasing it to 30 episodes.
In addition, Ye Fan also adjusted the script, adding the roles of Zhu Di and Zhang Chuchu, and changing it to a dual male protagonist and a cool female protagonist. After all, Ye Fan's image is not suitable for playing Zhu Yunwen, and Zeng Li is more suitable for the cold and charming policewoman.
, rather than a lively and active little toy.
Since this drama is a costume comedy, the cost of costumes, props and venue rental fees is relatively high, so Ye Fan calculated that the cost of an episode is around 150,000-200,000, but the external quotation is always 200,000 per episode. After all, there are people investing, so no
Earn nothing for nothing.
The last four companies negotiated. Ye Fan, as a screenwriter, starring actor and investor, invested 1 million, accounting for 37.5%. Pony Galloping invested 2 million, and Huayi invested 2 million, accounting for 25% respectively. Zhou Yi had limited funds and invested 1 million.
, accounting for 12.5%.
Fortunately, these companies have not been established for a long time, and they do not have suitable artists on hand, and they have not put forward any requirements for arranging actors. Otherwise, Ye Fan will probably have to argue with them. He wants to intervene in the casting for just this little money. See Ye Fan's rebuke.
If you don't fight them, it's over.
However, Ye Fan was very curious as to why Huayi came to invest in his TV series. In his impression, Huayi was the main investor in movies from the beginning. Ye Fan originally wanted to attract them when they were filming movies in Hong Kong Island to increase some mainland capital.
, in order to increase his voice.
After all, no matter how many problems Huayi Brothers have later, in this era, when facing the Hong Kong circle, they can still fight together.
Ye Fan asked Wang Jinghua and found out that all this was related to Wang Shuo.
In recent years, Wang Shuo has been at the forefront of the domestic literary and artistic circles, but there have been constant criticisms of Wang Shuo in society. Under the attack of those so-called righteous people, it seems that Wang Shuo is a representative of vulgarity, and if you like Wang Shuo, you are a gangster.
gas.
But Wang Shuo's response is also more fierce. His book titles and golden sentences are similar to "I am a gangster, who should I be afraid of?", "The ignorant are fearless", and "Don't treat me as a human being." People who like him are endless
As much as people like him, those who hate him will gnash their teeth.
By this year, that is, in 1997, the suppression of Wang Shuo by the literary and art circles had reached its peak, and almost all film and television works related to Wang Shuo had died.
Wang Shuo's works and movies were banned in the name of "promoting grayism." The "Good Dream Film Company" co-founded by Xiaogangpao and Wang Shuo filmed three TV series in a row, but all of them were killed, completely turning "Good Dream Film Company" into a "good dream" company.
"Dream Film Company" has come to an end.
With no choice, Wang Shuo decided to leave Chou Country to escape the limelight and relax, while Xiaogangpao started his own independent director career.
In this era, there are not many movies that can make money. Wang Shuo's works are considered a golden brand. Huayi followed Wang Shuo in the Beijing circle before, invested in Wang Shuo's movies, and made a lot of money.
Now that Wang Shuo was banned and left the Chou Country, they also suffered a big blow. There were suddenly fewer movies to invest in. Although Xiaogangpao's "Party A and Party B" was already in preparation, they also invested in it.
4000000.
However, the time period from the filming of the movie to the release and the return of the money was too long. They heard the news that Ye Fan wanted to make a TV series, so they came to the door. After all, the TV series paid back the money very quickly. As long as the TV station purchased it, the money would be enough.
return.
Both Wang and Xiao Wang have inquired about the income of "Eighteen Years Old Sky". The investment and publicity cost is only 2 million at most, but it sold nearly 30 million. The rate of return is so terrible that they are very greedy.
.
Coupled with Ye Fan's status as a writer, they benefited from Wang Shuo and believed that Ye Fan's works would not be bad, so they were more active than the other two.
Ye Fan suddenly realized this, but it was not his fault. Ye Fan had not paid attention to Wang Shuo's news for a long time, and his fans were much more active than him.
After Ye Fan's identity as a writer was exposed, Wang Shuo was often criticized by Ye Fan's fans and book fans. This year, many fans of Ye Fan came to the scene to criticize Wang Shuo.
Although Wang Shuo later did not target Ye Fan, as long as he spoke out, he would still be ridiculed by Ye Fan, the three major fan groups. Over time, no one could bear it.
So when faced with the suppression from the literary and art circles, Wang Shuo rarely responded, and his works were blocked. He was so frustrated that he had no choice but to go to Chou Country to relax.
Ye Fan didn't feel anything about this. He had expected this to happen a long time ago. As a student, coupled with his young age, he could still get a lot of empathy among the student group. Young people of any generation would not like him.
Being suppressed by the older generation, one will naturally sympathize with the weak.
After settling the investment matter, Ye Fan left it alone. His 1 million investment amount had already been transferred to his studio. He just waited for the contract to be signed and the other three companies to transfer the money. Li Geng could start preparing the crew.
Already.
However, the casting matter was about to be put on the agenda, and filming would start during the summer vacation. At this moment, Ye Fan didn't believe what the teachers had to say.
On Wednesday, June 11th, after class in the afternoon, Ye Fan found Xia Yu who was playing basketball on the basketball court. Seeing the basketball, Ye Fan couldn't help itching his hands. Instead of talking about business, he joined in and started playing with Xia Yu.
basketball.
Liu Huohua and others saw this and joined in. However, Liu Huohua joined Xia Yu's team just to compete with Ye Fan. Although he was tortured miserably by Ye Fan every time, he still enjoyed it.
Although Ye Fan is busy, he still spends a lot of time playing basketball, and his skills have naturally improved very quickly. Coupled with Ye Fan's super high IQ and excellent physical fitness, combined with having watched so many games in his previous life, he can be said to be a killer on the basketball court.
Quartet.
The tallest person playing basketball on the court is only over 1.8 meters tall. At 1.83 meters tall, Ye Fan is already the tallest among them.
Therefore, Ye Fan's position on the court can be either inside or outside. When facing Xia Yu, Ye Fan would run to the basket and bully him.
If Wang Laoer saw the physical contact between Ye Fan and Xia Yu at this time, I wonder if he would shout: "It's my turn."
But if this happens, Ye Fan's iron elbow skills he learned from Volute will come in handy. After all, Ye Fan won't get elbowed when playing with classmates.
But against someone like Liu Huahua, who was about the same height as him, Ye Fan followed Ku Ritian's example, running around non-stop and shooting from the outside, and soon made Team Xia Yu lose his temper.
"Ye Fan, you are so shameless." Xia Yu rubbed his chest and said, "You know how to bully me on the inside because I am short and weightless. If you have the ability, go and fight against Chen Minghao!"
Liu Huohua also echoed angrily: "Yes, if you confront me, you'll avoid hitting me. Bully me because I'm slower than you. If you have the ability, you can go one-on-one with me. You'll be finished if you see if I block you or not."
Ye Fan and the others laughed when they heard what the two said. Ye Fan said with a smile: "You don't need physical advantages to play basketball, so why play basketball? If I really let go, I will probably beat you out."
Shadow, I won’t think about playing basketball anymore.”
Liu Huohua looked unconvinced and said unconvinced: "I don't believe it. Now you have a one-on-one match with me and see how I can beat you."
When other people heard this, they started to make noises, especially Xia Yu. He was the most enthusiastic and wanted to see Ye Fan being tortured.
This was the first time that Ye Fan encountered such a request for abuse. He had no choice but to agree to have a fight with Liu Huohua. Many classmates who were passing by saw this and gathered around him.
At the beginning, Liu Huohua also provoked Ye Fan. Originally, Ye Fan wanted to keep some of the beatings because there were many female classmates around him. Ye Fan wanted to save some face for Liu Huohua, but seeing that he was so reckless, Ye Fan
Fan intends to fulfill his wish.
After the ball kicked off, most of the boys cheered for Liu Huohua, while the girls cheered for Ye Fan. However, as the game kicked off, the cheers of the boys became quieter.
Because Liu Huohua was beaten so badly. In the first few balls, Ye Fan was full of firepower. He completely used his body to crush Liu Huohua. He didn't even raise his elbows. He knocked Liu Huohua down several times with back blows, which made the spectators on the sidelines
It hurts to look at it.
After scoring a few goals, Ye Fan felt better and saw that he was ahead in goals. Ye Fan started to play tricks. He made a jump shot after dribbling. Liu Huohua couldn't reach it at all. Even Ye Fan was behind.
He also deducted one, which made the female classmates next to him scream non-stop, and many men also exclaimed.
In the end, Ye Fan took care of Liu Huohua's face and deliberately missed a shot, allowing Liu Huohua to score a goal. The final score was 10:1, and this was the end of the bullfight.
After the bullfight, Liu Huohua looked depressed. He didn't expect that his playing skills were so different from Ye Fan's, and he was immediately disappointed.
Ye Fan didn't think too much. Looking at Liu Huohua's expression, he had no intention of showing off. He came over to comfort him and then pulled Xia Yu away.
Liu Huohua looked at Ye Fan's back with a complicated expression, because he had confessed to Hu Jing not long ago, and Hu Jing rejected him because he didn't want to fall in love now.
But Liu Huohua knew in his heart that although Ye Fan already had Zeng Li, most of the girls in the class liked Ye Fan, including Hu Jing, not to mention the girls from other majors, especially the ones who liked Ye Fan.
many.
Liu Huohua knew that Ye Fan could not be blamed for this, but he was rejected by Hu Jing. He was still a little unconvinced and wanted to find some advantages in other aspects. Unfortunately, he did not expect that the basketball he was proud of could not compare with Ye Fan.
Of course Qin Hao knew what was going on. He patted Liu Huohua on the back, sighed and said: "Don't think too much, Ye Fan is still very good to us. We can't blame him for this. There are many good girls.
Let’s just look for it.”
Liu Huohua sighed and said: "I know, I was in a bad mood just now. He is so good. If I were a girl, I would also like him. He does treat us as friends. I will find an opportunity to tell Ye Fan."
Qin Hao heard this and nodded. Based on his understanding of Ye Fan, Ye Fan would not care about these things. Lao Niu is fine now. Sometimes he and Ye Fan would talk and laugh. When they were students, they were classmates.
There is generally not that much hatred between them.
Of course Ye Fan wouldn't care about these things. Not only did he know that Hu Jing liked her, but Zeng Li also knew about it. However, Ye Fan felt that it was normal for them to be attracted to him because they were young.
When Hu Jing and the others graduate from college and enter the society, with more experience and work experience, such thoughts will surely fade away.
Moreover, Ye Fan doesn't have extra time to look for a second woman now. His studies, work, and Zeng Li have all consumed his energy. He has the intention, but he doesn't have the time.
Moreover, in school, Ye Fan was so famous and received so much attention, it was impossible to hide a secret. If he messed around, something would happen. Various factors made Ye Fan decide to keep clean.
