After the finale of "Cang Hai" was released, Huayi's ghostwriting team breathed a sigh of relief and finally finished writing this grueling novel.

Thinking of the characters they created under Ye Fan's guidance, he felt very sad. This novel can also be said to be their hard work.

Of course, what's more important is that Ye Fan paid them a lot of royalties, much higher than their wages. They felt quite disappointed when they thought that a large source of extra income was gone.

But on the 22nd, Huayi Company received a letter from a reader. When the ghostwriting team saw the letter, their eyes showed surprise.

They felt that the content of the letter was very reasonable. If Ye Fan agreed, wouldn't they be able to make extra money again?

Thinking of this, the ghostwriting team went to Zhang Yang with this letter...

General Manager of Chaoyang Film and Television Culture Company, Ye Fan is receiving director Wang Xinmin who has come from afar.

After waiting for nearly a month, after Wang Xinmin read the script of "Shao San", he proposed to meet Ye Fan.

Ye Fan knew that he wanted to talk in detail face to face, so he invited Wang Xinmin to Yanjing.

At first glance when he saw Wang Xinmin, Ye Fan felt that this man with a beard and rough, dark skin did not look like a Hebei person, but more like a man from Mongolia.

Wang Xinmin, born in 1949, is from Xingtang County, Hebei Province. He studied in the directing department of Shanghai Theater Academy and worked as a worker and editor.

He went to work at the Mongolia Provincial Television Station in 1975. He has quite a lot of coaching experience, and he is not as flamboyant as Zhang Dabeard!

If Wang Xinmin hadn't been wearing glasses and his eyes were small but twinkling from time to time, Ye Fan felt that if his beard was longer, he could imitate a big beard!

The two met and chatted for a while, and then Ye Fan went straight to the topic.

"Director Wang, what do you think of the script of "Shao San"?"

Wang Xinmin laughed and said: "The script is good. It has links with "Wither" and "Yitian". The plot is rich and the characters are full."

"If I hadn't known that you were also a writer of martial arts novels, I wouldn't have believed that this script was written by an 18-year-old child."

Ye Fan smiled even brighter, handed him the contract and then said:

"Director Wang, whatever you like is fine. This is your contract. Please see if there is anything you want to add. If so, I will try my best to satisfy you."

Wang Xinmin took the contract and flipped through it briefly. When he saw his directing fee on the contract, he was surprised. Ye Fan was really generous!

Wang Xinmin's face remained calm, he put down the contract and asked: "How are the crew's preparations going? Is there still a shortage of manpower?"

As soon as Ye Fan heard this, he knew that Wang Xinmin had agreed to direct "The Young Master". He probably said this because he was so generous and wanted to support his people.

"As for the crew, we have found some. Director Wang, if you have suitable candidates, you can recommend them."

"Oh? Who did you find?"

"For martial arts and actors, we hired teacher Yu Chenghui, as well as several other teachers including Yu Hai, Wang Qun, Ji Chunhua, and Du Yuming."

"Most of the leading and supporting roles have been decided, but as for the crew, except for the people from our company, the rest need to be decided by you, Director Wang."

After hearing Ye Fan's words, Wang Xinmin nodded with satisfaction. The candidates for Wuzhi were all very good.

He didn't have much idea about actors. After all, everyone in the industry now knew that Chaoyang Company had a lot of available actors, and Ye Fan also had a wide network of contacts.

Moreover, there are so many actors who want to participate in Ye Fan's drama, and Chaoyang Company will not be short of actors at all.

Ye Fan asked him to appoint the crew and gave him some casting rights, which was already very good.

Wang Xinmin then asked: "How much is the investment for this drama? Is everything in place? If everything is settled, I will sign the contract."

Ye Fan smiled and said: "Invest 20 million, the money has already been received, and I'm just waiting for you to form a crew."

Wang Xinmin was shocked when he heard the figure of 20 million. This amount exceeded his imagination, and it almost made him, as a senior director, lose his composure.

The economy of Mongolia is not developed right now, so he had to scrape together the funds for the filming of "Swallow Li San", and the cost of filming was only 6.8 million.

Now Ye Fan has tripled his funding. When has he ever fought such a wealthy battle?

No wonder Ye Fan paid him such a high fee! What an ugly capitalist face!

"Ahem~ Um...please show me the cast list. I'll see who's missing, and I'll call them over."

Ye Fan smiled and said, "Wait a moment, I'll ask someone to bring it over."

Then Ye Fan asked Wang Jinghua to bring over the information on "Shao San".

After Wang Xinmin read it, he signed his name on the contract and then made a phone call in the office based on the gap in the crew.

He wants to recruit people to make money from capitalists, and then take it back to contribute to the economy of Mongolia!

After seeing off Wang Xinmin, Ye Fan asked Wang Jinghua to inform Yu Chenghui and others to come to Yanjing early so that the crew could get used to it early.

With the current reputation of Chaoyang Company and Ye Fan, as long as he says something, other investors can invite these teachers, and the price is not high.

However, out of respect for them, Ye Fan still asked Chaoyang Company to hire them in person and paid them a salary higher than the market price, as a token of appreciation.

Seeing that Chaoyang Company was so sincere, these teachers readily agreed to Ye Fan's invitation, but they were willing even if Ye Fan's salary was lower.

Not to mention that there are not many martial arts movies in the Mainland now, and it is not easy to get involved in Hong Kong, but due to Ye Fan's fame, if the TV series becomes a hit after they participate in it, their worth will be different.

"Mr. Ye, are you going to let Director Wang and the others turn on the computer first? Will you be there later?"

Hearing Wang Jinghua's question, Ye Fan smiled and said: "I can only go later. The final exam is coming soon, and I still have to review. I am asking for leave at this time. Teacher Chang is really mad at me."

"Pfft~ Being your teacher is really a headache. Do you have any candidates for the remaining actors? If not, I will make arrangements with Director Wang."

"Let's arrange an audition. I'll ask the people over at China Theater to try it out. If anyone is suitable, let them play it. If you're willing, you can sign it."

Wang Jinghua was overjoyed when she heard this. She had wanted to sign classmate Ye Fan for a long time. There were so many good talents in Class 96 of China National Drama Theater.

However, Ye Fan never relented and she didn't dare to take action. It was good now that she could absorb a batch of fresh blood.

After bidding farewell to Wang Jinghua who was in high spirits, Ye Fan went back to school. He had refused to let the company sign before because the time was not ripe.

There were not many sophomores in Class 96 who could film, and Chaoyang Company had just been founded, so there were not so many film and television resources to allocate.

But it will be different in the third year of college. Everyone in Class 96 can start filming and will embark on their own path. It is time to make money for Ye Fan.

Moreover, Chaoyang Company now has a good reputation, and there are many scripts submitted to the company. With his presence, resources can be gradually allocated.

Of course, there are many agents who want to be their agents, but their current salary is not high, so why would they give it to ordinary agents?

Besides, many people are also focusing on Ye Fan and Wang Jinghua. They can be close to the big tree of Chaoyang Company and the number one agent in the mainland. How can they take notice of other cats and dogs!

…

Ye Fan had just returned to school, and before his butt was warmed up by sitting for a few minutes, he saw Zhang Yang coming to the door.

"Uncle, why are you here? Is there something wrong?"

"I won't come to you if it's not an emergency. Please read this letter first."

Ye Fan took the letter from his uncle and read it: [Hello, Mr. Ye Fan...]

Zhang Yang saw this and said from the side: "I heard that they wrote this letter together after discussing the contents of the book while reading."

"I didn't even expect what they said. These readers are really observant. Do you have any ideas about what the letter said?"

After reading the letter, Ye Fan couldn't help but admire the imagination of these readers. They could hold a brainstorming session while reading the book. They could see a lot of foreshadowing and even wanted him to write a side story!

"You are fans of the authorities, so you didn't think about this."

Ye Fan returned the letter to Zhang Yang and replied: "When I added these contents, I had an idea. I must have an idea, but I don't have time to write it now."

"I originally thought I would think about it when I had more time, and then write a side story or something, but I didn't expect them to find out so quickly."

Zhang Yang smiled and said: "You have so many ideas, so how are we going to reply to this letter?"

"Just reply and I will seriously consider their suggestions. I will come up with the content when I have time, but most likely it will be a separate story, and there will not be many plots linked to "Cang Hai"."

"Okay, then I will reply to them first. When the time comes, let us know if you want to write. Sun Chao and the others still want to continue writing your novel."

Ye Fan smiled and said: "No problem, I will let them write it when the time comes."

Seeing that Ye Fan understood what he meant, Zhang Yang didn't say much, waved to him and left...

In the afternoon, Huayi released Ye Fan's statement, raising the popularity of "Cang Hai" to another level.

After reading this statement, book fans were either excited or dissatisfied.

It's a good thing they didn't know there was content behind it. Now Ye Fan has changed his direction and admitted that he laid the foreshadowing, but the time for writing the book has yet to be determined. Isn't this torture!

"Look at what I'm saying, there must be something behind it. Ye Fan is just too lazy to write it."

"Why are you too lazy to write? He just doesn't have time."

"He has no time. Apart from going to school, his focus is on releasing albums and filming movies. He doesn't pay any attention to us book lovers."

"Don't complain, isn't his new book about to be released soon? If writing a book is so easy, he won't hire a ghostwriter for "Cang Hai". At least he wrote the new book himself, so it's pretty good!"

"Oh, I can only do this for now. Let's see how his new book is. If it's not good, I will give up the book."

…

The media also joined in the fun the next day. Huayi did not announce the sales volume of Ye Fan's novels during this period.

They were unable to find out the data in this area, so they could only use guessed data as headlines to attract readers.

However, Ye Fan's statement yesterday gave them the smell of gossip. When reporters inquired about it, they understood that Ye Fan was sending them material again.

"From Eastern martial arts to Western magic, what are the foreshadowings in "Cang Hai""

""Canghai" has a grand structure, surpassing Jin Yong's martial arts novels"
