Ye Fan was very fast and wrote the songs for Zeng Li's album in a few days. He prepared three title songs for Zeng Li: "Little Lucky", "Later", and "The Most Familiar Stranger".

"Later" and "The Most Familiar Stranger" were songs released by Liu Ruoying and Elva Hsiao in 1999. Ye Fan had no problem cutting them off in 1998.

Although "Little Lucky" is a song from 15 years, with the quality of this song, it will definitely shine in the 1990s!

As for the remaining songs, Ye Fan planned to ask Warner Capital and Chaoyang Company to find someone to write and collect the songs. Writing three songs for Zeng Li was already his limit.

If Ye Fan had written all ten songs in an album for Zeng Li, then it would be strange if nothing happened after this news was exposed. By then, even a fool could see that there was something wrong with the relationship between Ye Fan and Zeng Li.

Naturally, Zeng Li's record deal was with Chaoyang Company, and the album share was 37%. For a new singer, this standard is already the highest.

After all, Jay Chou's album share is only thirty-seven, and he is already somewhat famous. In Chaoyang Company, he is the only one other than Ye Fan. Considering the impact, Ye Fan cannot do too much.

March 15th, Consumer Rights Protection Day

Ye Fan finally finished writing the scripts for "Infernal Affairs" and "My Sassy Girl" on this day, and he immediately informed the investors, Andy Lau and Leslie Cheung, of the news.

This was Andy Lau's first time working with Ye Fan, and he was very surprised to hear that Ye Fan had written the script so quickly.

In Andy Lau's impression, only Hong Kong screenwriters could write scripts so fast, but I didn't expect Ye Fan to be so generous.

It gave him a new understanding of Ye Fan's talent. In just how many days, would Ye Fan be able to write what he calls a classic movie script?

The same goes for Mr. Han. After receiving the notice from Ye Fan, he was surprised and immediately made an appointment with Ye Fan to read the script. Ye Fan was self-sufficient and readily agreed.

As for the big and small kings, Boss Yang, Leslie Cheung and others, they have long been used to it. They know how fast Hong Kong screenwriters write scripts, and they also know how fast Ye Fan writes scripts.

For the two movies "Suspect" and "My Body", he did not actually write the scripts for these two movies for a long time.

If Ye Fan hadn't been too busy, he would have finished writing the script very quickly. After all, Ye Fan's novel and creative abilities are there.

Moreover, "Suspect" has already been released overseas, and it grossed US$24.96 million in the first month of its release. Including the domestic box office, the total box office of "Suspect" reached US$38.6 million, and its box office in Asia alone exceeded that of "I Am"

who".

In the minds of Boss Yang, Big and Little Wang and other investors, this achievement is such an incredible achievement! How can we not make them ecstatic?

The total investment cost of this movie was only 14 million Hong Kong dollars, and now the total box office is 298 million Hong Kong dollars. After deducting royalties, publicity and taxes, etc., the producer can also get 26% to 35% of the total box office share.

After calculation by Boss Yang and others, they were able to share more than 98 million Hong Kong dollars from the box office of "Suspect", making a net profit of more than 84 million Hong Kong dollars after deducting investment costs, and the return on investment reached 7 times.

Not to mention the continuous income from CDs, video tapes and copyrights. In addition to applying for various domestic film awards, "Suspect" has also applied for many film awards in overseas countries.

If you can win some important awards, it will greatly increase your income from CDs, video tapes and copyrights, and these incomes may even be higher than box office income!

What kind of money-making ability does Xie Xiaofeng need? Isn’t Ye Fan good? So they have no doubt about Ye Fan’s talent and money-making ability.

"That Guy in My Body" was also released overseas yesterday. The box office on the first day was also very good, with a box office of more than 2 million US dollars. Especially in Japan and South Korea, there were a lot of moviegoers. Now it's my turn to smile at the boss.

No more grinning from ear to ear.

So after receiving Ye Fan's notice, they all adjusted their schedules and flew to Yanjing...

"Mr. Ye, Baixiang responded. They didn't expect you to take the initiative to endorse their instant noodles. They wanted you to endorse all their food products, and they offered a price of 5 million a year."

Ye Fanqi said: "Oh? Didn't they just establish it last year? Are the profits so high?"

Wang Jinghua smiled and said: "I checked, their sales are not low, and there is an example of Anta in the past, and their boss is also willing to spend money."

Ye Fan nodded, thought about it and said: "Forget about all food, the risk is too great, just accept the endorsement of products such as instant noodles."

"If it were just instant noodles, the endorsement fee would only be 2 million a year."

"It's okay, just 2 million. People who endorse food products should be careful."

Wang Jinghua nodded and said, "Mr. Zhang from Sohu is here. He wants to talk to you about financing."

Hearing Mr. Zhang's name, Ye Fan smiled and said, "What's the current situation of Sohu Company?"

"Sohu is probably running out of money. Mr. Zhang has been looking for a second round of financing since last year. Intel, Dow Jones and other U.S. companies are investigating him."

"Call him over and I'll talk to him personally."

"Okay." After Wang Jinghua said this, she left to call Zhang Chaoyang.

…

"Mr. Ye, hello, I am Souhu Zhang Chaoyang."

Seeing the physics teacher who was delayed by business, Ye Fan also smiled and shook hands with Zhang Chaoyang.

"Mr. Zhang, your name is related to our company."

Zhang Chaoyang smiled and said: "Haha, that's right, I feel friendly when I hear Mr. Ye's company."

After the two exchanged pleasantries, Zhang Chaoyang got down to business.

"I wonder why Mr. Ye wants to invest in my company?"

"I am very optimistic about the future of the Internet industry. Coupled with Mr. Zhang, you have made the company successful, I think it has great potential."

Zhang Chaoyang nodded. Thinking of Ye Fan's experience, he did not doubt Ye Fan's words. However, he thought of the several investment companies he had already found and told Ye Fan his concerns.

Ye Fan thought for a moment and said, "Mr. Zhang, you should know the dirty nature of those ugly investment companies. I can guarantee that I will only invest and not have any management rights."

"But if you want to go public in Chouguo, Dow Jones will accept it. I'll take care of all the other investment shares, including any financing you need in the future."

Zhang Chaoyang nodded, agreeing with Ye Fan's statement that Chouguo Company wanted more shares, with an investment of US$2.15 million for 36.5% of the shares.

The price offered by Ye Fan is better, 2 million US dollars for 30% of the shares. However, if it accepts Ye Fan’s full investment, Sohu will have a lot of troubles if it wants to be listed in Chou Country.

After negotiation between the two, Ye Fan invested 1 million US dollars and took 15% of the shares, while Zhang Chaoyang went to negotiate with Chouguo Company.

After sending Zhang Chaoyang away, Ye Fan was a little regretful that he couldn't get more shares of Sohu, but he had no choice. Zhang Chaoyang was in Chou Country before, and he couldn't get his turn in the first round of financing.

Moreover, Zhang Chaoyang wants to build Sohu and go public in Chou Country to earn US dollars, so the investment from Chou Country Company is indispensable. Ye Fan does not have the resources to help Sohu get listed on Wall Street. If he wants more shares, he can only wait for opportunities later.

Already.

Then Ye Fan was going to the conference room to meet a few bosses who were reading the script. The film investment contract had been signed and the funds had been transferred to the company. Ye Fan was not afraid of anything going wrong.

Mr. Han saw Ye Fan coming in and smiled at him: "Xiao Fan, your script for "Infernal Affairs" is great. It's better than the Hong Kong police and gangster movies I've seen before."

"Mr. Han, once Boss Yang and others hear what you said, I guess they won't be happy about it."

"Like it or not, you can write such a good Hong Kong gangster film. They should be impressed by it after watching it."

The big and small kings, Li Ming, Jiang Xuerou and others also joined in and praised Ye Fan one after another. Fortunately, Ye Fan was mentally mature, otherwise he would have been so praised that he would have been confused.

After Mr. Han and others finished watching "My Sassy Girl", everyone from Hong Kong arrived. After chatting for a while, they also started to read the script.

As for why he didn't fax it and asked them to come to Yanjing to read the script, this could be regarded as Ye Fan's little idea. He refused the fax on the grounds of confidentiality and asked everyone from Hong Kong to come to Yanjing to show his status and declare his dominance.

.

After Andy Lau and Leslie Cheung read half of the script of "Infernal Affairs", they started to applaud the script. The characters of Chen Yongren and Liu Jianming were really wonderfully written.

Boss Yang, Boss Xiang and Wu Dun were also very satisfied with it. From the plot point of view, "Infernal Affairs" can indeed be called a classic.

As for "My Sassy Girl", most people have the same idea. They think the script is innovative, but they don't see the potential for a big hit, and it is much worse than the connotation of "Infernal Affairs".

Ye Fan couldn't deny this. "Infernal Affairs" is indeed a classic and it will win many awards, but the cost is too high. In terms of earning money and popularity, it may not be as good as "My Sassy Girl".

After everyone read the script, they began to discuss issues with the crew and actors.

Needless to say, the starring roles of the movie "Infernal Affairs" are Andy Lau as Liu Jianming and Leslie Cheung as Chen Yongren, which was also agreed before.

The same goes for "My Sassy Girl", with Ye Fan and Zeng Li starring as the male and female protagonists, and no one else has or dares to have any opinions.

As for the director, after everyone discussed it, and at Ye Fan's suggestion, they decided on Liu Weiqiang and Mak Siu-fai.

Han Sanye and other mainland investors believed in Ye Fan's vision. Although Boss Yang's Hong Kong investors thought that these two were not famous directors, seeing that they were Hong Kong directors, and Ye Fan's deception, they agreed.

As for Wu Dun, he is only an investor in Wanwan, so he can just sit back and watch. Ye Fan in the Mainland does not have to dump him. If Wu Dun could not help him in the Wanwan market, Ye Fan would not let him enter the market.

As for other actors, the competition has become fierce. Mainland China is relatively united. If we don't unite, there's nothing we can do about it. The total number of artists under Big and Little Wang's group is not as many as that of Ye Fan's company.

Ye Fan directly wanted the three important supporting roles of Huang Zhicheng, Silly Qiang and the young man Chen Yongren. Ye Fan also wanted the role of Han Chen, but there seemed to be no mainland actors who could play the role of a Hong Kong gang boss.

So Ye Fan suggested to the boss to play this role, but he rejected it outright. What a joke, Hong Kong Island has returned. His identity is already sensitive. Playing this kind of role would be like Qin Shihuang repairing his grave - he is looking for death!

I directly proposed to the boss that Eric Tsang should act, and most people agreed.

When Ye Fan saw this, he gave up and told his boss that he still had to give him face.

For other supporting roles, Andy Lau competed for Dong Guan Zai and Sammi Cheng, because Dong Guan Zai is Hua Ge's artist, and Sammi Cheng has a very good relationship with Hua Ge, and everyone agreed.

Leslie Cheung competed for the role of May for Carina Lau. After all, they were good poker friends. The role was not important and no one was competing with him.

May is Elva Hsiao's character. Although there is only one scene, there are still many metaphors in it. Ye Fan did not remove this character.

Boss Yang and Boss Xiang are competing for the role of young Liu Jianming. Boss Yang naturally wants the role for Xie Xiaofeng, and Boss Xiang is competing for Wu Azu.

Boss Xiang's star company usually doesn't sign many artists, but Wu Azu didn't have a contract company when he was roped in by Ye Fan.

Perhaps it was Xiang Tai who saw his potential, and "My Body" made Wu Azu a little popular, so Star Company signed him.

The looks of these two people are not bad. Whoever plays the young Liu Jianming is suitable... Shit! Is Xie Xiaofeng's nose as straight as Wu Azu? Image-wise, Wu Azu must look like Brother Hua.

So Ye Fan did not hesitate to vote for Wu Azu, which was considered a favor to the boss. After all, Zhang Yushan's company's performance during this period was good, and it was definitely not because Ye Fan was unhappy with Xie Biwang.

Mr. Han and others also followed Ye Fan and voted for Wu Azu. No one has heard of the previous conflicts between Xie Xiaofeng and Ye Fan. The secret manipulation of the awards in Hong Kong made everyone in the mainland unhappy.

When Boss Yang saw this, he could only curse inwardly and glanced at Ye Fan helplessly. Why is this person so petty? Why can't he not handle this year's Golden Melody Award?
