July 18 afternoon, Beijing Film Studio

Ye Fan and Zeng Li are wearing period costumes filming the MV for "Direction of Light".

In addition to this song and the MV for "Facing the Light", the MVs for other songs have been filmed and are being rushed into post-production.

I have to say that Zeng Li’s costume looks very heroic.

Especially her appearance as a woman disguised as a man, standing next to Ye Fan, her appearance is not inferior to him at all, she is cold and handsome at the same time.

Ye Fan was so excited to watch this that they had a new cosplay to play with tonight... a duet!

Although Zeng Li's ancient costumes were outstanding, Ye Fan still wanted to say how intellectually retarded those TV dramas were. How mentally retarded were the ancients to not be able to see that the beautiful heroine was disguised as a man?

Not to mention that the ancients still had the habit of growing beards. If the heroine were to dress up as a man and give her a beard, it would really be for the sake of the show's effect and she would be forcibly deceiving the ancients.

At this time, Ye Fan was fighting Zeng Li. For this reason, Ye Fan specially invited Wu Bing to teach them how to fight well.

"Tsk, tsk, it's a pity that you don't practice martial arts, Xiaoli. Your martial arts talent is also very good. After practicing for a long time, you can fight well."

Zeng Li smiled sheepishly: "No way, I can't keep up with Xiao Fan's movements, my speed is too slow."

Wu Bing smiled and said: "Don't compare with him. He has been able to fight Xiaojie several times before. I don't know what his body looks like."

"In terms of physical fitness, Xiao Fan has surpassed most people. It's normal that you can't keep up with his speed."

Ye Fan also smiled and said: "Master, now I usually train with Uncle Huang and the others. The training methods of their army can really improve physical fitness."

"And I also practiced fighting with them. The fighting movements of the army are mainly fast, accurate and ruthless, which are not the same as martial arts movements."

Wu Bing rolled his eyes and said, "I know you are very good now, and your bodyguards are also very good. An old man like me can't stand the moves you do in sparring."

"Kekeke~"

Zeng Li was amused by the conversation between the two.

Wu Bing is more like an old kid now, while Ye Fan is generous with his acquaintances, so the relationship between the two is not like a master and apprentice, but more like an old friend.

Not long after Wu Bing arrived, he noticed that Ye Fan's kung fu level had improved a lot, so he wanted to spar with Ye Fan to see his current level.

Who would have thought that Ye Fan, who was not a man of martial ethics, would use the army's capture skills to spar with him and bully a 61-year-old comrade!

Fortunately, Ye Fan controlled his strength. Otherwise, with his fast and fierce movements during the sparring session with the bodyguard, Wu Bing's old arms and legs would probably end up worse than the horse master.

"Then it's better for you, master, to help me with the basics, otherwise I wouldn't be able to practice other physical skills so quickly."

Faced with Ye Fan's compliments, Wu Bing's face looked better. Ye Fan was right, after all, Ye Fan's basic martial arts skills were taught by him.

At this moment, Zhang Xing, who went to Hong Kong Island to receive the award, came back and immediately brought the trophy to Beijing Film Studio to find Ye Fan.

"Xiao Fan, I'm back. I've brought back your trophies. There are so many trophies that the trophy display room in your office is not enough!"

Faced with his second uncle's teasing, Ye Fan didn't take it seriously, picked up the trophy and started looking at it.

"Let's leave it for now. When I get other awards later, I'll have a separate trophy display room."

Hearing Ye Fan's words, Zeng Li smiled and said: "You have made such a big noise again, and the media will quarrel over you every once in a while."

At this time, Li Geng also said: "You are really amazing. You have won so many awards at once. It is a pity that the TV series we filmed did not win the award, otherwise you could have won a few more awards."

"Don't even think about the TV drama award. Although "Eighteen" has high ratings, the drama has no connotation and is not very artistic."

"I've told you that you don't have to apply for the three major awards. If you do, you're just joining in the fun. We don't even get the Golden Eagle Award for Best Actor, let alone the Feitian and Magnolia Awards."

"And there is no newcomer award for these three TV drama awards, so I didn't want to apply for it at the time. "Chuang Ming" and "Shao San" probably won't have any chance. The favorites to win next year should be "Kangxi" and "Water Margin"!"

"But my two films have a chance to win some awards."

Wu Bing stood aside and said nothing, quietly watching Ye Fan and the others showing off. He had trained so many martial arts champions and was reluctant to win awards, but was he proud?

Hearing Ye Fan's words, Li Geng sighed. Ye Fan looked sober but he still had some ideas.

Unfortunately, things backfired. Li Geng thought that winning TV drama awards in China would only become a luxury.

In this era, the selection standards for the three major domestic TV drama awards are still quite high. The TV dramas written by Ye Fan are too commercial and have little connotation.

"Eighteen Years Old" and other TV series written by Ye Fan did not win any awards in the original time and space, let alone in 1998.

And the same situation applies to the novels written by Ye Fan. There are currently three major literary awards in China, and the [Lao She Literature] Award was not established until 1999.

The three major domestic literary awards have relatively high ideological and artistic requirements for selected works, not to mention other selection criteria.

Therefore, it is simply impossible for martial arts and tomb-robbing novels like "The Sea" and "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" to win the three major literary awards.

However, with the rise of the online novel era, novels such as "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" can win other unofficial novel awards.

At this time, Ye Fan saw his second uncle wink at him, so he put down the trophy and went to a remote place with his second uncle.

"I have brought some information from Zhongsheng Company. You can take a look at it first. Some of them need your signature and then faxed back."

Ye Fan nodded, took the information and started reading it. He asked Zhang Xing to go to Hong Kong Island to help him receive the award, so naturally he did more than just this one thing.

Ye Fan had previously sent 3 million US dollars to Zhongsheng Company to purchase and build a mobile phone factory.

After more than three months of investigation and public relations, Li Zongyao and others finally selected the target and plan at the end of June.

They selected a total of three small, under-performing factories. They could buy them all for 5 million RMB. The three small factories were also close to each other. After reconstruction, they could be combined into a medium-sized factory.

In addition, they also selected a piece of land in the suburbs of Shenzhen City to build their own factory, with an investment of approximately US$2 million, or more than 16 million RMB.

But at this time, the country lacked foreign exchange, and the value of 2 million US dollars was higher than the Hong Kong dollar and RMB. Therefore, Zhongsheng Company was warmly welcomed by the relevant yamen in the Shenzhen Stock Exchange, and the policies provided were very favorable.

This is the convenience of being a Hong Kong businessman. Nowadays, the cost of building a factory in Shenzhen is mainly equipment and construction costs. Costs such as rent, labor and materials are nothing to Ye Fan.

On the other hand, it will cost a lot of money to purchase the assembly parts and materials for mobile phones and BB phones, but investing 3 million US dollars in building a factory is more than enough.

After Ye Fan signed the document, he handed the document to his second uncle. It was not convenient for outsiders to know about Zhongsheng Company, but it was okay to let Zhang Xing handle it for him.

After receiving the information, Zhang Xing said: "Also, last night I went to see "The Storm". The movie was really good, and the audience responded very enthusiastically."

"I read in the Hong Kong newspaper this morning that the box office of this movie in Hong Kong is estimated to exceed 40 million, which is a big threat to your movie."

"Also, Xie Xiaofeng released a new album "Horizons" in early July. It was very popular in Hong Kong Island and the sales are said to be pretty good."

"And he also imitated you and used the new album to coordinate with the movie to promote it. But his new album was okay, but the movie did poorly. It only had a box office of 2.35 million in one month after it was released. It really made me laugh to death."

Ye Fan laughed unkindly, "Small, Chef Xie still wants to imitate him, is he so easy to learn?"

Before filming his first movie, Ye Fan starred in supporting roles even though he was so famous in the music industry. In his second movie, he even cast a star like Jet Li to star alongside him.

Do you really think that Ye Fan doesn’t want to be the leading actor in his first movie?

But being famous in the music industry doesn't mean you can beat the box office.

As for the movie lineup of "Young and Dangerous", apart from Wu Zhenyu who is somewhat famous in the film industry, it is surprising that newcomers such as Chef Xie, Wu Azu and Shu Qi can withstand the box office!

On the other hand, Chef Xie's "Horizons" album is not bad. It is Xie Xiaofeng's best album in the past two years, and its sales volume is relatively low.

Among them, "Silent is Better than Sound" and "If Only One Week" received relatively high reviews. "One Week" was later changed into the Mandarin version of "Together Together", which even appeared on the Spring Festival Gala.

But Ye Fan knew more than his second uncle, so why did he have someone beside Xie Xiaofeng?

Originally, Xie Xiaofeng was planning to release a new album on July 18, but he was already psychologically affected by Ye Fan's album.

Even though Xie Xiaofeng was very confident about "Horizons" this time, he still released his new album in early July, so that he could be one month ahead of Ye Fan's new album.

Judging from the results, his choice was wise.

"Ignore him and just do our job well. The tape production of "Light Chaser" has already started, right?"

"The tapes and records are already being produced, and the CDs will not be produced until your MV is ready. However, if you are going to release a new album in early August, there won't be many CDs shipped, and the time is still a bit tight."

Ye Fan nodded when he heard this. Of course he knew about this situation, but he had other arrangements for the new album this time. A slower disc would not affect his plans.

Thinking of this, Ye Fan expressed his thoughts to his second uncle.

"Second uncle, that's it. I have a new idea about the sales of "Light Chaser", that is..."

After hearing what Ye Fan said, Zhang Xing looked shocked and shouted: "What! You want to play so big!"

Seeing the rest of the crew looking at them, Ye Fan motioned to Zhang Xing to keep his voice down.

"Don't get excited, uncle, this is just the way it is done for this album, it won't always be like this in the future."

Zhang Xing was still unwilling. He kept trying to persuade Ye Fan to change his mind. It was really that Ye Fan had done too much. He felt that Ye Fan would suffer a lot by doing this!

Seeing that his second uncle kept talking, Ye Fan said with a serious face: "Okay, second uncle, stop trying to persuade me. I have made up my mind. I believe that my parents, grandpa and grandpa will support me in doing this."

"Also, please tell the two presidents Xu about my decision. I don't expect them to do the same as me, but they still need to understand what they should mean."

Zhang Xing saw that Ye Fan was so serious about what he said and even brought out all his family members, so he had no choice but to give up.

"Oh, you are so kind to them, okay, then I will do what you want. I am really convinced by you now!"

Seeing his second uncle's helpless look, Ye Fan smiled and comforted him: "Second uncle, don't think about the bad things. Maybe this will do more good."

Hearing what Ye Fan said, Zhang Xing sobered up a little. He suddenly thought that Ye Fan would not do anything that would cause him to suffer losses, and there must be some deep meaning behind his actions.

After figuring this out, Zhang Xing felt better. He no longer struggled with Ye Fan's actions, and left Beijing Film Studio after asking Ye Fan for details.

Seeing that Ye was busy, Zeng Li asked curiously: "What did you tell Uncle Zhang that made him react so strongly?"

Ye Fan smiled and said: "You will know some of the things on the album after a while."

"I hate it~ You're being too close-minded. Those book fans of yours are indeed right. They know how to dig holes every day."
