145 In-depth cooperation

"Xiao Fan, bosses, let me introduce to you. This is Huo Wenxi, the representative of the entertainment department of YH Company, and the investor I found."

As soon as he arrived at Leslie Cheung's house, Ye Fan noticed this beautiful agent and guessed which company was going to invest in Leslie Cheung.

YH Entertainment was established in 1999. At this time, Boss Yang was initially involved in the entertainment industry, but he only established a department first and had not yet established a company.

However, Ye Fan still pretended not to know Huo Wenxi, and after introducing Li Ming and others to Leslie Cheung, Leslie Cheung also introduced Huo Wenxi's identity to Ye Fan and others.

When Wang Laoer saw Huo Wenxi, his eyes lit up and he glanced at Huo Wenxi from time to time. Unfortunately, Huo Wenxi ignored him. Huo Wenxi never took his eyes off Ye Fan since he saw him.

Huo Wenxi researched Ye Fan's information in the morning and found that the company planned to invest in the movie "The Devotion of Suspect X". She also found out that Ye Fan was the author of the script of the movie, and an idea suddenly came to her mind.

Because of the relationship between Boss Yang and Leslie Cheung, everyone in the industry knows that Boss Yang’s daughter would never marry except Leslie Cheung. Although Leslie Cheung rejected Boss Yang’s kindness, it did not affect the relationship between the two. They became very good friends.

friend.

This is also the reason why it is easy for Leslie Cheung to find investment. Of course, it also has something to do with the fact that the story "The Devotion of Suspect X" is very good.

Meeting Ye Fan today did not disappoint Huo Wenxi. He was much more handsome in person than in the photos.

"Hello Mr. Ye, I have read your script and it is very good, so the company sent me over to discuss investment matters with you. In addition, I am also your fan and I like your songs very much."

Feeling Huo Wenxi's fingers secretly sliding on the palm of his hand, Ye Fan showed a meaningful smile and said politely: "I am very honored that someone as beautiful as Miss Huo likes my work. Maybe we can go deeper in the future."

cooperate."

Huo Wenxi's eyes lit up after hearing this. She felt that the progress bar of the tasks assigned by her boss had increased a lot, which also made her favorability towards Ye Fan greatly increase. She was thinking about whether to give herself a task as well.

However, Ye Fan's plan might disappoint her. Ye Fan's in-depth cooperation had a deeper meaning.

On the other side, Li Ming and Jiang Xuerou were chatting with Leslie Cheung, saying nothing more than they liked his songs and movies and wanted to get close.

Wang Laoer was chatting aside, but more attention was focused on Huo Wenxi. Huo Wenxi also discovered this situation and felt a little unhappy.

Ye Fan was helpless after seeing it, so he turned the topic to the movie and the amount of investment.

When it came to business, everyone became serious, and Huo Wenxi also showed her strong woman temperament.

According to calculations by YH Company, the investment cost of the movie "The Devotion of Suspect X" is around 13-16 million, and Leslie Cheung's salary is mainly the bulk.

At this time, the market price of Leslie Cheung's salary was 8 million. Originally, Leslie Cheung liked this script very much and was willing to reduce the salary to star in it, but not many people knew this news.

Although Ye Fan did not tell the news, Leslie Cheung finally reduced the salary to HK$5 million.

Because when discussing the choice of the heroine, both Ye Fan and Leslie Cheung wanted Lin Qingxia to play, and everyone else agreed. However, Lin Qingxia's salary was not low at this time, 4 million Hong Kong dollars per movie.

Including Leslie Cheung's salary, the two people's salary would reach 12 million, so the shooting cost may be more than 20 million.

"The Devotion of Suspect X" itself is a feature film. It is hard to say whether the box office in Hong Kong Island will reach 20 million yuan. To make a return, it will definitely depend on the Wanwan and other foreign markets.

So Leslie Cheung took the exam and still reduced his salary. As for Lin Qingxia's willingness to reduce it, it depends on her own wishes.

Therefore, the remuneration is tentatively set at 9 million Hong Kong dollars, and the shooting cost is controlled within 500. If it is not enough, subsequent parties will increase the amount in proportion. YH Company invested 6 million and won 45% of the revenue share.

Ye Fan invested 2 million plus his role as screenwriter, accounting for 20% of the share, and the remaining three parties invested 6 million, accounting for 35% of the share.

In addition, Ye Fan proposed that the other male lead and some supporting roles in this movie should be played by mainland actors. Huo Wenxi thought about it and agreed.

Ye Fan could feel that in order to win over him, YH Company made more concessions in terms of film investment and casting, which was considered to be more sincere.

However, Ye Fan's net worth is not what it used to be. If this movie had not been released in Hong Kong Island and had to use the resources and connections of local companies in Hong Kong Island, there would be no problem for him to invest more than 10 million in the movie.

That's why he won't be moved by these small favors, and Boss Yang may not be willing to see the way Ye Fan repays YH Company.

After everyone's discussion, Leslie Cheung, as the host, took Ye Fan and others around Hong Kong Island for a while, and also ate Hong Kong Island's specialties in the evening.

Huo Wenxi finally quietly told Ye Fan that she wanted to ask him out to drink coffee alone, but Ye Fan refused. Who knows whether Huo Wenxi would take him to the hotel to play poker, and finally record a video or something.

Although Huo Wenxi would not let herself be filmed in a short video, Ye Fan would not underestimate Boss Yang's methods. He just told Huo Wenxi that if she had the opportunity to go to Yanjing, the two of them would meet for coffee.

Huo Wenxi was still a little disappointed after being rejected. After all, few people could refuse her invitation. No, Wang Laoer just wanted to invite her out for coffee, but Huo Wenxi refused without hesitation.

After finishing the movie, Ye Fan returned to paying attention to the situation of the Thai baht. At this time, although the Thai baht exchange rate was slightly pulled, the general direction has been falling.

Ye Fan did not use leverage, and Shen Xusheng's operations were relatively safe. It can be said that the funds in Ye Fan's account have been growing.

Then Ye Fan paid attention to the stock situation of YH Group Company.

Although Boss Yang started his business in a watch shop, his current three main businesses are real estate, watches and finance. With the support of these three businesses, he can later get involved in other industries.

Although the watch company is the cornerstone business of YH, YH Group Company develops real estate business and is also the group's flagship listed company. Coupled with the potential of real estate in Hong Kong Island, Ye Fan decisively focused on YH Group Company.

YH Group was listed in the 1970s, with a share capital of 3.678 billion shares. The major shareholder is of course Boss Yang, who holds 74.83% of the shares.

At this time, the stock price of YH Group was very low, fluctuating between 0.1 and 0.4 Hong Kong dollars.

But Ye Fan believes that when the financial crisis hits Hong Kong Island, the stock price will be lower and his cash flow will be greater.

When Ye Fan asked Shen Xusheng to quietly absorb YH Group's shares, he didn't believe that Boss Yang didn't need the money at that time. As for how many shares he could hold in the end, it all depended on the game between the two parties.

By the time Ye Fan returned to Yanjing, it was already July 8th. Originally, Ye Fan wanted to stay a few more days, but it turned out that the princess was addicted to being a money-spreading boy. She was good at cooking and loved to play, so Ye Fan could win money.

No one who wins wants to leave.

However, Wang Jinghua called Ye Fan and told him to come back because the Tianxian mother and daughter had arrived in Beijing.

He had arranged for people to renovate the courtyard houses that Ye Fan had bought before, and had all the furniture and appliances replaced. It cost Ye Fan more than 600,000 yuan to not only accommodate people, but also make them live well.

According to Ye Fan's request, Wang Jinghua arranged the Tianxian mother and daughter to live in a courtyard in Jingshan. This courtyard is not only large in area, but also well renovated. The key is that it is close to Ye Fan's courtyard, which is very convenient!

When Ye Fan arrived at the courtyard, it was already afternoon. Wang Jinghua and Liu Xiaoli were chatting inside, while Liu Qianqian was running around in the courtyard, feeling very fresh and curious about the things in the courtyard.

Liu Qianqian's sharp eyes were the first to notice Ye Fan's arrival. After shouting: "Brother Fan", she happily ran towards Ye Fan.

The other two people were also alerted. When they saw Ye Fan coming, they stood up and came over to greet him.

Ye Fan looked at Liu Qianxi's lovely smiling face, touched her head and said, "Qianxi, how is this yard? Do you like it?"

"I like it very much. It's much bigger here than where my mother and I lived before." Liu Qianqian said crisply: "There are so many flowers, plants, and big trees in the yard. It would be better if there was a cat."

"Sissi, don't talk nonsense. What should I do if such a nice yard is ruined by raising cats?"

Liu Xiaoli, who came over, couldn't help but say when she heard her daughter's words, she didn't want her daughter to leave a bad impression on Ye Fan.

Looking at Liu Qianqian who looked a little disappointed, Ye Fan said with a smile: "It's okay Aunt Liu, let her raise cats if she likes them. It's normal for children to like small animals. If I didn't have time, I would also like to raise some cats."

Dog.”

Without waiting for Liu Xiaoli to reply, Ye Fan knelt down and looked into Liu Qianqian's eyes and said, "When you and your mother settle down, I will take you to buy a cat, so that you can have a companion at ordinary times."

Liu Xiaoli instinctively wanted to refuse, but after hearing "I have a companion", the words could not come out of her mouth. She had to sigh and said to Ye Fan: "Thank you, Xiao Fan."

When Liu Qianqian saw that her mother actually agreed, she was overjoyed and said happily: "Yeah, mom is the best." Then she said to Ye Fan: "Thank you, brother Fan."

"Don't be polite to brother, just be happy."

Seeing Liu Qianqian's happy smile again, Ye Fan felt very satisfied, so he took Qianqian's hand and went to the yard with the other two people to sit down.

After teasing Liu Qianqian for a while, Ye Fan asked Liu Xiaoli: "Aunt Liu, how are you thinking about the role? "Huan Zhuge Ge" will be launched on the 14th, and they are urging me to reply."

"I read the script, and this character is indeed unlikable. But Xiao Fan, you said this drama would be a hit, so I choose to believe you."

When Ye Fan saw that Liu Xiaoli finally agreed to play the role of the Queen, he felt relieved. If the delay continued, Qiong Yao would have no choice but to change the role. By then, he would not be able to change.

Seeing that Liu Xiaoli was so knowledgeable, Ye Fan also said: "Over on Hong Kong Island, the movie is also finished. It is expected to start shooting in mid-to-late July. The protagonists will not only be Leslie Cheung, but also Lin Qingxia. Sissi will play the role."

Her daughter."

"The other male lead chooses a mainland actor. Sister Hua, please contact teacher Chen Daoming to see if he is interested. If he is interested, take him to Hong Kong Island to meet with YH Company and Leslie Cheung."

The two girls were overjoyed when they heard this, especially Liu Xiaoli. They didn't expect that Sissi could collaborate with Lin Qingxia, and Chen Daoming might also participate. What kind of golden lineup is this?

Wang Jinghua had expected it. After the joy, she quickly asked Ye Fan about other details, such as how many mainland actors were needed.

Ye Fan explained the specific situation and asked Wang Jinghua to find some famous actors, so as not to let Hong Kong Island laugh at the fact that we have no actors in the mainland.

This time, Ye Fan is not going to bring Chinese drama students. He is cooperating with the film production company in Hong Kong. Ye Fan himself is a newbie in filmmaking. If he brings a group of students there, if something happens during the filming, it will be very embarrassing.

This is our first collaboration and we can’t let people in the Hong Kong circle laugh at it.

Wang Jinghua naturally understood what Ye Fan meant and thought about which artists would be more suitable.

After chatting with Sissi for a while and telling Liu Xiaoli that they would have dinner together in the evening, Ye Fan left.
