211 Zeng Li's Remuneration and Crew Arrival
On April 15, "My Body" was officially released overseas. The overseas box office reached 19.16 million U.S. dollars. Including the domestic box office, the total box office exceeded 30 million U.S. dollars, reaching 30.995 million.
This box office is an astonishing result for the mainland film industry, because the lead actor is not only a new movie star, but also a mainland actor.
Of course, Jet Li's appeal is indispensable, but except for Ye Fan and him, the other actors are basically not able to carry the box office.
Immediately, many so-called "professionals" jumped out and analyzed the success of this movie, and their analysis was very clear and logical, leaving the people who didn't know the reason in a daze.
But for insiders, the reason for the success of this movie is very simple. It has a good script + popular actors + a commercial director. It is a purely commercial movie, and it is highly entertaining. It is not surprising that it has such results.
The two leading actors in "My Body" both got what they wanted. Let's not talk about Ye Fan. The key is Jet Li. He has successfully taken the first step in transformation and no longer sticks to kung fu movies.
But he is about to go to Hollywood to develop, and he still has to continue to star in action movies. If he can't follow up in time and star in a few more movies of other types, I don't know how long he can maintain the impression of his successful transformation.
From the box office of "My Body", the producer can get 76.99 million RMB. According to the investment ratio, excluding the investment cost, Ye Fan can get 12.4 million RMB.
Ye Fan's 16.8 million share of the box office of "The Suspect" was gradually received. The corresponding taxes and fees had been deducted from the money. Ye Fan notified the finance department to check it carefully before going to school...
"Xiao Fan, you are back."
As soon as Ye Fan walked into the classroom, Zeng Li spotted him.
Zeng Li resisted the urge to rush into Ye Fan's arms and greeted him sweetly.
Seeing Zeng Li's smile, Ye Fan felt that this face was something he would never tire of seeing. No matter how he looked at it, he felt something. He walked directly to Zeng Li and sat down.
Mei Ting rolled her eyes at Ye Fan and walked away knowingly. When Hu Jing in front saw this scene, he couldn't help but feel sour in his heart. The most important person in Ye Fan's heart was always Zeng Li!
"How is the performance of "Huan Zhuge Ge" in Wanwan?"
"Didn't Hu Jing tell you?"
Zeng Li held Ye Fan's hand and said coquettishly to Ye Fan, "I want to hear what you have to say~"
How could Ye Fan tolerate this? If it weren't for Ye Fanfei letting Zeng Li know how to drive a car in class!
Ye Fan calmed down the restlessness in his heart and told Zeng Li about the situation of "Huan Zhu Ge Ge" in Wanwan...
After school, Ye Fan and Zeng Li bought some groceries and returned to Sipingyuan.
Although there are larger houses to live in, both of them feel that this small house is the most comfortable to live in. After all, this house carries many beautiful memories for them.
"Damei, please wait a moment."
Ye Fan called out to Zeng Li who was about to cook, opened his bag and took out a contract and check and handed them to Zeng Li.
Zeng Li took it and asked, "What is this?"
Ye Fan smiled and said: "Your movie contract and salary."
Looking at a 5 and a series of 0s on the check, Zeng Li was surprised: "Wow, there are so many 0s, how much is this? 500,000?"
"Yes, 500,000, that's all we can give. Gong Li's current salary is only 1 million Hong Kong dollars. If it is more, it will be difficult for other investors to account for it."
"What do you mean you can only give so much? This is enough, okay? 500,000 is more than the total salary I got from my previous TV series. It seems that not many actresses here can get this salary."
"Mainland actors' salaries are generally not high. RMB 500,000 can now be said to be the salary of a first-tier mainland actress."
Hearing Ye Fan's words, Zeng Li was unhappy and worried, saying worriedly: "Is it too high? Will it be bad if word spreads about it?"
Ye Fan rolled his eyes and said speechlessly: "Did you forget about "Chuang Ming" and "Eighteen Years Old" after you acted in them? Don't you know how popular you are?"
"The salary I gave you is very reasonable. If it weren't for other investors, with your current reputation, it would be reasonable to give you 1 million, so I only gave you 500,000. Mr. Han and the others didn't say anything, so just accept it.
.”
Hearing this, Zeng Li said with a smile: "I seem to have forgotten that I haven't felt much at school during this period, so I'll accept it, MUA~"
Ye Fan suppressed the organ that was about to move and reminded Zeng Li: "You don't have an agent yet, so you don't need to share the money, but don't forget to pay taxes."
"Yeah, I remember. I'm going to cook first. What do you think I should buy now that I have so much money?"
"If you ask me, just buy a house in Yanjing. After 2008, even if you don't work, one house will be enough for you to spend your whole life."
Zeng Li wondered: "Why do you have to wait until after 2008?"
Ye Fan realized that he had said the wrong thing, and quickly walked into the kitchen to help and replied: "Isn't it exactly 10 years? House prices should have increased a lot by then."
"That's it, that's good. Why are you washing the meat? Soak the vegetables in water first."
"Oh, I haven't cooked for a long time and I forgot about it. I'll do it right now."
Seeing that Zeng Li's attention was distracted by him, Ye Fan breathed a sigh of relief and began to wash the vegetables, enjoying this rare warmth...
After dinner, Zeng Li leaned against Ye Fan and watched TV.
After a while, the temperature in the room slowly rose, and Ye Fan started to move as he pleased.
He pulled Zeng Li into his arms. Zeng Li's body relaxed and became unusually soft, so Ye Fan slowly lowered his head...
It's a pity that the prescription in Chi Zhongwu's book does not contain specific medicinal materials, otherwise Ye Fan would really want to buy it and drink it every day!
Zeng Li didn't wake up, so Ye Fan got up gently, preparing to make her a hearty breakfast to replenish her body...
"Little lazy boy, get up and have breakfast."
"Um...what time is it?"
"It's past seven o'clock. We have to go back to school after lunch."
"I don't want to move, I want you to feed me."
Fortunately, it was daytime. If Zeng Li said this to Ye Fan at night, Ye Fan would feed her milk~
Looking at the radiant Zeng Li, Ye Fan naturally would not refuse such a request that could enhance their relationship. He obediently fed Zeng Li breakfast...
For several days, the two of them lived a life of being a farmer and a farmer. If Ye Fan hadn't avoided looking at Hu Jing at school, her jealousy could have been smelled from a thousand meters away.
While enjoying life, Ye Fan did not forget about business, and the supporting cast of "Sassy Girlfriend" was also finalized.
Zeng Li's (Song Mingxi) father is played by Kou Zhenhai, an old national father-in-law, his mother is played by Kong Lin, Chen Changhua plays the blind date, and Wang Qianyuan plays the fugitive...
The relative roles of Ye Fan (Qian Niu) are more troublesome. The main reason is that Ye Fan is so handsome. If his parents were average-looking, it would be easy for him to act out during the movie.
After much thought, Ye Fan finally asked Chen Daoming to come and play the role of Qian Niu's father in this movie. He had no choice but to play the role of his father, and he was the only one who was good-looking and had a good relationship with Ye Fan.
Morning Glory's mother, Ye Fan, asked Wang Jinghua to invite Jiang Wenli. Let's not talk about her appearance. The key is that "Song Jianping" is already here, how can "Lin Xiaofeng" be absent.
The two protagonists of "Chinese Divorce" meet in advance, I believe it will be very interesting!
The aunt of Qian Niu was played by Zhu Yuanyuan. Senior sister Ye Fan started playing the role of daughter-in-law and mother as soon as she graduated. The role of aunt is nothing.
As for Straw Hat director Peter Chan, although he is an excellent director, Ye Fan did not dare to hand over the power of the crew to him.
If he had given Ye Fan a wig worth 6,000 yuan in 1998, Ye Fan would have been too much to bear.
Chen Kexin should just concentrate on the guidance, are you afraid that he will not accept it? Is it true that Ye Fan gave up the producership to Boss Xiang? Is it a lie?
On April 20, Chen Kexin took half of the crew north to Yanjing. Ye Fan personally received him, which was enough to give him face, and forget about other aspects.
Why half the crew? Chaoyang Company and Beijing Film Studio also have many people who have to start work. If it weren't for the purpose of training the mainland crew, Ye Fan wouldn't have left half of the crew for him.
When Chen Kexin saw Ye Fan, his smile was so forced. Who in Hong Kong would dare to give him this kind of treatment if he asked him to film a movie? Well...it seems like he would only dare to ask his boss.
Why is Ye Fan's status in Boss Xiang's heart so high now? He even beat up his own brother for Ye Fan, let alone an outsider like Chen Kexin.
Ye Fan’s method of governing Hong Kong has been tried and tested time and time again!
However, Ye Fan knows that all this is driven by interests. If he cannot bring huge benefits to Boss Xiang, it goes without saying who Boss Xiang will help.
"Director Chen, you guys have come a long way to rest for a few days. How about we start the production on the 25th?"
Chen Kexin said with a smile: "Okay, four days are almost there, just two days of rest, and the remaining two days are for preparations, and the crews in the two places also need to get in touch."
Ye Fan nodded and said, "That's it. If anyone from Director Chen's side wants to go shopping in Yanjing, let me know if they need it, and I will arrange for someone to accompany them."
"Then I'd like to thank Mr. Ye first. By the way, the crew equipment, venue and actors..."
"Don't worry, Director Chen. There are people from Beijing Film Studio making arrangements. In addition, the salary for Hong Kong staff is definitely the highest, so Director Chen can rest assured."
After saying that, Ye Fan looked deeply at Chen Kexin and said: "Director Chen, I am offering you a directing fee of 2.8 million Hong Kong dollars. The bosses have not agreed yet. They reluctantly agreed after my strong request."
"This price is higher than that of director Wang Jing. His directing fee for my last movie was only 2.5 million, so Director Chen, just focus on making a good movie."
At this time, Ye Fan's aura made Chen Kexin suddenly think that he had seen Boss Xiang. Coupled with Ye Fan's words, Chen Kexin's heart shivered and he instantly understood what Ye Fan meant.
Peter Chan nodded solemnly. He felt that Ye Fan was not like other mainland filmmakers, who would lose some of their momentum when meeting famous Hong Kong directors. Ye Fan was not only more powerful, but he also did not follow the tricks of their Hong Kong directors.
After knowing that Ye Fan was not a young man he could manipulate at will, Chen Kexin also recognized the reality and stopped making other demands, preparing to eat, rest and travel honestly.
After all, the directing fee Ye Fan gave him was enough to suppress all his dissatisfaction.
