"Hey, my ancestor, you are finally back. The crew is all here, just waiting for you to start the filming."

Seeing that Li Geng was still thinking about joking, Ye Fan knew that the crew's work was going smoothly.

"I've rushed back as soon as possible." Ye Fan opened his eyes and lied: "Have the actors been decided? When are you planning to start filming?"

Li Geng picked up the cast list on the table, handed it to Ye Fan and said, "It's all decided. You can see if there is anything you need to adjust. If not, we can start filming tomorrow."

Ye Fan took the list and looked at it. The protagonists were naturally Ye Fan and others, and the original actor Sun Baoguang played the role of Zhu Yuanzhang.

Tian Yu plays King Qin, Xiao Liuzi plays Xiao Bei, Liu Xiaoli plays Ji Shufei, Hai Qing plays Xiaoping, Yan Danchen plays Ding Xiang, Huang Bo plays Huang Zicheng, etc.

Ye Fan was quite satisfied with the cast list. Except for Qin Hao, Cao Jun, and Dang Hao from China National Theater Class 96, they chose to play supporting roles in this drama. Other relatively famous people like Liu Ye, Zhang Ziyi, etc. all took the roles themselves.

He went to play an important role in the drama.

Ye Fan didn't say anything. It was up to them to choose. Only after they were severely beaten by society did they know who their 'real father' was!

Mei Ting also successfully went to film the TV series "Northern Story", and Ye Fan's previous work was very effective.

With so many students from Class 96 going out to film, Mei Ting's acceptance of the TV series became less conspicuous. He did not encounter the original troubles and did not drop out of school.

Although Ye Fan took the trouble for her first, Ye Fan didn't want anything in return, and this sense of accomplishment of changing history and developing it in a good direction made Ye Fan even more satisfied.

"The actors for Ji Shufei have arrived. If we can start filming tomorrow, let's start filming tomorrow. However, I have two movies on Hong Kong Island that will start shooting in the middle to late this month. There may be some conflicts in schedules. We still need to discuss how to resolve this."

Ye Fan's words made Li Geng happy at first but worried later. Li Geng frowned and said, "Can't the schedule be adjusted over there? I'll try to shoot as fast as possible here, and you can finish filming in the past."

Ye Fan spread his hands and said: "Director Li, haven't you heard about the speed of film production in Hong Kong? And the co-stars are Jet Li, Leslie Cheung, and Brigitte Lin. Do you want them to match my schedule?"

Hearing Ye Fan's words, Li Geng couldn't help but sigh. For each of these three stars, in Hong Kong and Taiwan, everyone else has to cooperate, let alone the mainland crew.

Li Geng thought for a while and said helplessly: "Then I can only focus on shooting your scenes first. When you went to Hong Kong Island, you happened to shoot the scenes there. When I come back, I will shoot other people's scenes. Then your movie

How long will the filming take? I will reshoot your scenes when you come back."

Ye Fan did not change the location of the theft scene at the beginning of "Love Through Time", it was still placed on Hong Kong Island.

If a big thief like Xiao Wanzi appears in the Mainland and steals museum collections, doesn't this bring discredit to the Mainland?

Ye Fan would not make such a mistake, Hong Kong Island is quite suitable. Anyway, the Hong Kong Island police have been hacked by movies not once or twice.

"The filming speed of the movie there should be very fast. It is estimated that it will take about a month. The shooting time for the supporting roles will be faster, and the shooting time for the protagonists may take more time."

"I am the screenwriter and investor of both movies. I will try my best to communicate with the director there and shoot my part first. This should give me enough time during the summer vacation."

After hearing Ye Fan's words, Li Geng thought for a moment and felt that this might be the most appropriate way. After chatting with Ye Fan about starting the computer, Li Geng hurriedly went to make arrangements.

In the evening, Ye Fan took Liu Xiaoli and Liu Qianqian to the courtyard.

After Zeng Li saw Liu Qianqian, she was very happy and took Liu Qianqian to chat in the yard. Cao Xin and other Ye Fan family members were also amazed by the beauty of the two people after seeing the Tianxian mother and daughter.

At this time, Ye Chu walked up to Ye Fan and whispered: "They are so beautiful mother and daughter. Fortunately, you asked Xiaoli to tell the family during the day. Otherwise, I would have thought you had caused some romantic debt outside and brought them back to recognize their marriage.

Of."

Ye Fan had a dark look on his face at Ye Chu's words, and said angrily: "What are you talking about? Aunt Liu is almost 40, and Sissi is only seven years younger than me. After all, I am that kind of person."

Is that so? I’m a guest here, so don’t make fun of me."

Ye Chu laughed and didn't reply. He looked at Ye Fan meaningfully and ran to chat with Liu Qianqian.

Before eating, Ye Fan told his grandparents about the situation of the Tianxian mother and daughter. The old couple sighed and looked at Liu Qianqian with loving eyes.

No matter what choices adults make, children are always innocent. Ye Fan also mentioned that Liu Xiaoli needs to film and has no time to take care of Liu Qianqian.

People become better with age. Although Ye Fan didn't say it clearly, the two old men understood what he meant.

Without any further hesitation, Ye Fan's grandparents took the initiative and told Ye Fan that they could let Liu Qianqian come here without anyone taking care of her.

Now they are usually very boring, but Liu Qianqian looks cute and cute, and they are happy to have such a girl at home. Not only will it make them more lively, but it also makes them feel that they are useful.

Seeing that the matter was settled smoothly, Ye Fan also breathed a sigh of relief, but he still sighed in his heart. He was truly worthy of being an immortal. With such good looks, men, women, old and young could kill him!

After dinner, Ye Fan told Liu Xiaoli about the situation, which made Liu Xiaoli extremely grateful.

While having dinner, Liu Xiaoli could feel that Ye Fan's family atmosphere was very good. Ye Fan's grandparents were very kind, and they looked at Liu Qianqian with great fondness.

Liu Xiaoli was also relieved to leave Liu Qianqian in their hands to take care of her. This way, the stone in her heart was relieved.

Early the next morning, Ye Fan received a call from Xu Zhongmin:

"Xiao Fan, you are back, when will you have time to do publicity?"

Ye Fan helplessly replied: "Mr. Xu, my TV series will be launched today, and I will go to Hong Kong Island to shoot a movie later. I'm afraid I can only do publicity in Yanjing or Hong Kong Island, which is nearby."

Xu Zhongmin was disappointed after hearing this. Now "The Wind Rises" is almost sold out and the situation is great. He wants Ye Fan to work harder and create an album sales record.

According to his understanding, Xiao Qi's "Heart Is Too Soft" has sold more than 800,000 copies in the mainland. Rolling Stone even announced that as of June, the sales of "Heart Is Too Soft" throughout Asia have exceeded 2.5 million copies.

Already.

In May, the sales volume of the album "Heart Is Too Soft" was 1.7 million. In just one month, it has soared by 800,000. This is such a terrifying sales volume. Xu Zhongmin has already seen a new music king.

Rising slowly.

He analyzed the market conditions and found that this year only "The Wind Rises" is expected to compete with "Heart Is Too Soft", but Jingwen Company's foundation in the Waifu market is very weak.

Hong Kong and Taiwan are better. Thanks to Ye Fan, Jingwen's channels in these two places have developed rapidly, but let alone Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Japan, Bangzi and other Asian countries.

Ye Fan's albums actually have good sales in these foreign markets, but they are basically pirated copies. Jingwen's hands can't reach the markets in these places now, so Xu Zhongmin can only rely on the mainland market to see if he can create a

Sales records.

But Xu Zhongmin's main purpose today was not this. He went on to say: "Xiao Fan, our contract is about to expire at the end of the year. Do you think we can renew the contract? For this renewal, the split will be based on 50 to 50. How about

, be sincere."

Only then did Ye Fan understand that Xu Zhongmin was just a drunkard and not interested in drinking. It turned out that this was the point. However, there were some things he had to say sooner or later. It might be more appropriate to talk about this matter on the phone. Otherwise, he would be rejected in the interview and both parties might be embarrassed.

"Mr. Xu, since you brought it up, I will say it directly."

When Xu Zhongmin heard Ye Fan's words, his heart suddenly tightened and he had a bad feeling.

"Now I can say that I dominate the mainland market. I will need to expand more into the Hong Kong and Taiwan markets and the Waifu market. I will also enter the European and American markets in the future."

"So the channels and strength of my future partners in these places are particularly important."

"Mr. Xu, I have had a great time cooperating with you in the past few years. Your 50/50 split is also very sincere. I also admire you very much. If I have the opportunity to cooperate in the future, I will definitely contact you as soon as possible."

Speaking of this, Ye Fan paused and said, "So, I'm sorry, Mr. Xu."

After listening to Ye Fan's words, Xu Zhongmin suddenly felt lost and didn't know what to say. Maybe he had already expected this in his heart.

After calming down, Xu Zhongmin said: "Xiao Fan, you have always been a very independent person. I respect your decision. In the past few years, Jingwen has also made a lot of money from you, and his reputation has increased greatly.

I am already very satisfied, so I will wish you here in advance to spread your wings and fly high."

Although Xu Zhongmin spoke calmly, Ye Fan could still feel the bitterness in his heart.

"Mr. Xu, isn't there still half a year left?" Ye Fan said with a smile: "I am really grateful to you, so I plan to release another album at the end of the year to bring our cooperation to a perfect end.

.”

Xu Zhongmin has been in the business world for so many years, and his heart has become as hard as iron. He doesn't know how long it has been since he was touched.

Ye Fan can definitely cooperate with the new company and then release a new album, which will definitely provide greater resources and publicity.

He believed what Ye Fan said, the quality of the new album was definitely not good. Business is ruthless and people are sentimental. Although Xu Zhongmin was a little moved, he was more disappointed and regretful.

"Then I'd like to thank you first. You didn't forget to give me such a big gift before I left. If other record companies find out, they will probably be jealous of me, haha~"

Hearing Xu Zhongmin's laughter, Ye Fan also smiled and said: "That's you. We are all our own people and we cooperate with foreigners, so I have to kill them hard."

Hearing this, Xu Zhongmin was really happy and laughed even louder. He told Ye Fan that he would definitely support him in this matter.

Seeing that the matter was resolved satisfactorily, Ye Fan chatted with Xu Zhongmin for a few more words and then hung up the phone.

If it weren't for the lack of a suitable record company in China, Ye Fan wouldn't want to take advantage of foreigners. Unless he didn't want to enter the European and American markets, otherwise he would have no choice in this matter.

Looking at the phone, Ye Fan sighed, then called Zeng Li and prepared to go to the set together. Today was the day when "Love Across Time and Space" started shooting. As the protagonist and investor, he couldn't be late.

Cao Xin and Ye Chu also had nothing to do and planned to go to the studio with Ye Fan and the others. They also wanted to see how the TV series was filmed.
Chapter completed!
