144 I want to take the lead

As expected, the unexpected happened.

Ye Fan had just finished dinner with Li Lianjie when he received a call from the princess.

"Xiao Fan, you didn't even call your sister when you came to Hong Kong Island. If my brother hadn't told me, I would have been kept in the dark by you."

Hearing the princess's questioning as if asking for guilt, Ye Fan said nonsensically, "No way, I just wanted to call you, and you called me right now. What a coincidence."

The princess did not accept this trick, and snorted coldly and said: "It's weird to believe you. Hurry up and play cards with me."

Before Ye Fan could refuse, the princess hung up the phone directly. Ye Fan shook his head helplessly and looked at Li Lianjie.

"Don't look at me, I'm going to accompany Ali tonight." Li Lianjie didn't wait for Ye Fan to speak, but blocked what Ye Fan wanted to say next.

Ye Fan had no choice but to go out with his bodyguards, bought some gifts on the way, and arrived at the princess's home.

The poker friends playing cards with the princess are still the same three familiar faces.

When the princess saw Ye Fan coming, she snorted pretending to be angry. Lin Qingxia and Liu Jialing looked at her in amusement, while Leslie Cheung winked at Ye Fan.

Ye Fan rolled his eyes at his brother, ignored him, put down the gift, walked to the princess and said with a smile: "Sister, how are you feeling today?"

When it came to mahjong, the princess didn't care to get angry. She babbled a lot, saying that the position was not good and it affected her luck. My brother cut me off. Lin Qingxia often touched the tiles to prevent her from catching them. Liu Jialing was in her

Go home, don't feed her cards, etc.

Ye Fan heard it. To sum it up, it was just her bad luck, not her poker skills. Everyone was made to laugh by her.

Ye Fan had nothing to do and played several rounds of mahjong with them. Thanks to Ye Fan's super memory and calculation ability, the princess's idea of ​​​​putting Ye Fan at the bottom came to nothing. She still lost the most, but Ye Fan instead

And won a lot.

"It shouldn't be. I just signed a contract with EMI. It should be the time when my luck is at its peak. How could I lose?"

Hearing what the princess said, Lin Qingxia smiled and said: "I guess the God of Wealth saw that you took 60 million and thought it was too much, so he asked you to be a money-spreader and give some to us poor people."

Only then did Ye Fan know that the princess had signed a contract with EMI this year, so he exaggeratedly said: "Wow, 60 million. When did I get so much signing fee?"

The princess rolled her eyes at Ye Fan and said angrily: "Don't come here. I heard that EMI also contacted you, but you rejected it. What do you think?"

"Sister Fei, you are not sent as a lobbyist by EMI, are you?" Ye Fan asked with a smile: "My contract has not expired yet, I will wait until it expires."

The princess was impressed by Ye Fan's words, so she was not embarrassed and said generously: "Then what do you think about renewing the contract with Jingwen?"

Ye Fan shook his head and said: "No, I will consider many factors at that time. There is a high probability that I will choose between Warner and Universal."

The princess was a little disappointed when she heard this. She also wanted Ye Fan to come to EMI Records, and then the two siblings would join forces and kill everyone in the music world.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, Leslie Cheung quickly changed the topic and started talking about other things. It was probably Ye Fan who was there, and as he talked, the topic came to Xie Xiaofeng.

Ye Fan also knew a lot of information about him. It has been nearly a month since Xie Xiaofeng's new album was released. His new album has also sold a super platinum number of copies in Hong Kong Island, which is 100,000 copies.

However, Ye Fan heard Leslie Cheung talk about the inside story. Xie Xiaofeng's sales volume was very high. On the eve of the release of Ye Fan's album, Xie Xiaofeng's album sales had already declined.

However, as soon as Ye Fan's new album was released, his album sales increased dramatically. Leslie Cheung heard that Boss Yang was behind the scenes and wanted to force Xie Xiaofeng to be promoted and create the "Ye Fan" of Hong Kong Island.

But now it seems that the effect is very poor, Leslie Cheung said regretfully: "Xiao Feng is still a good kid, but his father Tan and Boss Yang are too impatient. Not everyone can become Xiao Fan.

"

After hearing this, the princess smiled disdainfully and said: "With his voice and singing skills, debuting so early would be harmful to yourself. You should learn more about vocal music."

When Ye Fan heard this, he had a black question mark on his face, what is going on? Does the princess dislike Xie Xiaofeng?

However, what the two of them said was indeed more to the point. Ye Fan also listened to Xie Xiaofeng's album, and it can be said that the songs in it do not have Chef Xie's personal style at all.

It must be that Boss Yang had impure motives and was eager to praise others, so he asked Xie Xiaofeng to use a young voice to sing some very loud words, which really made Ye Fan's balls ache.

If we were to say the only advantage of Xie Xiaofeng's new album, it was the unmodified, unpretentious voice of a young man, which sounded fresher. Ye Fan really couldn't have imagined the other advantages.

However, this topic reminded Ye Fan that there was a rotten chicken company in Hong Kong Island, and he always wanted to mess with him, which made Ye Fan have some plans in mind.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Ye Fan rejected the princess's suggestion to stay overnight, picked up a stack of golden bulls he had won, and walked away decisively.

When Ye Fan came, he saw a lot of paparazzi outside. If he stayed at the princess's house tonight, even if Leslie Cheung and others were there, the Hong Kong paparazzi might write something about it. Ye Fan didn't want to get into trouble for nothing.

Damn, nothing can really happen!

Anyway, his whereabouts were exposed, so Ye Fan left openly. Under the escort of bodyguards, he drove Ye Fan back to Li Lianjie's home.

Sure enough, the Hong Kong media reported the news of Ye Fan's arrival in Hong Kong the next day, and everyone speculated on Ye Fan's purpose of coming here.

Ye Fan's fans were very excited, thinking that Ye Fan was here to promote, but Xie Xiaofeng was nervous when he heard the news.

Once the album "The Wind Rises" was released, it also caused quite an impact on Hong Kong Island. Compared with Xie Xiaofeng's album, the buying craze was so overwhelming that he couldn't help but feel nervous.

Fortunately, Ye Fan didn't come out to announce the itinerary and purpose. Xie Xiaofeng was temporarily relieved when he saw that Ye Fan didn't seem to be here to promote the album.

No matter how arrogant Xie Xiaofeng is, he is not stupid. He has also listened to the album "The Wind Rises". He knows how big the gap between the two new albums is. How can he dare to compare? If he can hold on to the basic base of Hong Kong Island, then

Not bad.

Boss Yang had other thoughts and immediately contacted Huo Wenxi and asked her to take this opportunity to contact Ye Fan and see if she could get Ye Fan to come to Hong Kong Island.

Huo Wenxi was also very curious about Ye Fan. After all, Ye Fan was the person that Boss Yang longed for, so Huo Wenxi happily accepted the order and left.

After walking out of Boss Yang's office, Huo Wenxi thought of Ye Fan's face, and her heart couldn't help but move.

She has never seen such a handsome man in her whole life. Compared with Ye Fan, Xie Xiaofeng's appearance is much different.

Having made up her mind, Huo Wenxi walked towards the office with firm steps. She was going to take a good look at Ye Fan's information and make preparations...

A restaurant on Hong Kong Island

Ye Fan didn't expect Boss Xiang to come today. Although he was surprised, he didn't show too many expressions. He knew Boss Xiang's background.

Li Lianjie introduced Boss Xiang to Ye Fan and others. Ye Fan was very polite and also introduced Li Ming, Wang Laoer and others to Boss Xiang and others.

Boss Xiang admires Ye Fan very much. He praises Ye Fan a lot in his words. His expression is not as cold as in the movie, and he still smiles a lot.

However, Ye Fan didn't want to have too much to do with him, so the conversation was kept to the point. After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Ye Fan brought the topic to the movie.

"Boss Xiang, what do you think of this script?"

When it came to business, he said seriously to his boss: "I think this script looks good and has a promising future."

Seeing that the business was about to get down to business, the others didn't say anything and calmed down to listen to the conversation between the two.

Ye Fan smiled and said: "Boss Li and the others are also quite interested in how much investment they are going to make to the boss."

Boss Xiang thought for a while and said: "The investment cost is 20 million, and our company invested 5 million. Our company will contract the venue, equipment, and actors, accounting for 60%."

Good guy, Ye Fan came into contact with the boss of the Hong Kong entertainment industry for the first time, and he gave him a 'what the hell surprise!'

Li Ming and others couldn't help but frown when they heard this. They really had too much appetite for the boss.

The most embarrassing person is Li Lianjie. He can't help anyone at this time and can only sit there and drink tea to cover up his embarrassment.

Ye Fan knew that this was a low price to the boss, so he also started to bargain on the spot. It was not that he wanted to stand out, and it was not impossible for Li Ming and the others to negotiate on their own.

But in this case, the effect will be much worse and Ye Fan's goal will not be achieved.

"Boss Xiang, I wrote the script. It's not a secret in Hong Kong that my senior brother is willing to reduce his salary to star in this movie." Ye Fan said slowly: "In addition, as far as I know, your company also has a studio in Shenzhen.

If we shoot there, the venue, equipment, and labor costs shouldn’t cost much.”

Boss Xiang shook his head and said: "Even if we send people to Shenzhen City for filming, the cost will be calculated according to Hong Kong Island standards. The cost in this regard can be lower, but not too much."

"In addition, this film will be released on Hong Kong Island. If you want to join in, you will use our company's channels and earn Hong Kong dollars. In addition, our company will also pay for promotional expenses. Our price and ratio are really

not tall."

Li Ming may not know much about the ways of filming in Hong Kong, so he felt that what he told his boss made sense.

Ye Fancai was too lazy to believe his lies. He told the boss that he clearly wanted to cut off Li Ming and the others' leeks.

Film shooting on Hong Kong Island is famous for its short time and low cost. If the crew, director and finance are all from them, it will not be too easy to do this.

Ye Fan did not read so many Hong Kong entertainment novels in his previous life for nothing. The director Chen behind him had a straw hat worth 6,000 yuan, and many writers of Chinese entertainment novels used it to flog their corpses.

Before coming to Hong Kong Island this time, Ye Fan also asked Shen Xusheng to help him find out some inside stories about filming movies in Hong Kong Island. Although there were some differences between what he knew and what he knew, it would be very useful at this time.

Hearing that Ye Fan knew so much about the unspoken rules of film shooting in Hong Kong, Boss Xiang frowned in surprise. He glanced at Jet Li and saw him shaking his head.

Boss Xiang understood that Li Lianjie had not told Ye Fan this. In this regard, he believed that Li Lianjie did not dare to lie to him, but Boss Xiang also knew that he could not cut leeks today.

Li Ming and others couldn't help but shed a cold sweat when they heard that there were so many inside stories about filmmaking in Hong Kong. If Ye Fan hadn't been there, they would have been deceived.

They couldn't help but look at Ye Fan with admiration. They didn't expect Ye Fan to be so good at business negotiations, so they felt comfortable letting Ye Fan negotiate with Boss Xiang, which gradually allowed Ye Fan to take over the leadership.

Seeing that the boss was wronged for not cheating, he could only correct his attitude and talk to Ye Fan seriously.

At the end of the discussion, the two parties reached an agreement to invest 6 million yuan to the boss, accounting for 45%. Ye Fan contributed 3 million yuan, plus the identity of the screenwriter, accounting for 20% of the investment. Li Ming, Wang Laoer, and Jiang Xuerou invested together.

6 million, accounting for 35%, with a total investment of 15 million.

Arrange a crew, provide venues and equipment to the boss, pay the fees as normal, and give some important roles to mainland actors, which is considered an exchange.

Publicity expenses will be used first from the investment amount. If the investment amount is used up, the three companies will share it according to the investment ratio.

This plan is acceptable to both parties. After all, in terms of investment return ratio, the boss's investment ratio is advantageous.

As a screenwriter and with an investment of 3 million, Ye Fan only accounted for 20%, so he was at a bit of a disadvantage. However, what he wanted was his identity as an investor, so that he could give some profit to Li Ming and the others, so that he could cheat in the future~ Bah... He was looking for them to win over

invest.

After all, they must have a taste of the sweetness. As for how to divide the share among the three families, let them discuss it themselves. If they don't fight, how can Ye Fan act as the leading brother to mediate?

If it weren't for his status as the leader, Ye Fan would have eaten their share casually.
