"What's going on with your new movie? I heard from Jinghua that there are some problems? And what's going on in Hollywood?"

Ye Fan looked helpless and said: "The content of the two new movies has some problems. One of them is adapted from a Japanese comic..."

Today Mr. Han became the boss, but Ye Fan still gave him face and explained the situation of the two new movies.

Mr. Han was surprised when he heard that the ending of "Oldboy" actually involved a father-daughter quarrel... so what? He shook his head and said:

"Young devils are little devils. If you draw a comic with such messy content, this company will definitely not invest in it."

"In the case of "Mother", just like "Infernal Affairs", it shouldn't be a big problem to have two ending versions. The heroine can just turn herself in and face the law."

In order to allow "Infernal Affairs" to be released simultaneously in mainland China, Ye Fan created two versions of the ending from the beginning.

In this case, the box office performance of "Infernal Affairs" in the Mainland should not be as miserable as in its previous life. As for the hype about the two endings...

emm... For the sake of Mr. Han, Ye Fan decided to forget it. He didn't want to get involved with [China Film] and let the media do it themselves.

Then Ye Fan mentioned the matter between "Harry Potter" and Warner Bros., which surprised Master Han!

"You actually have the movie rights to "Harry Potter"? I heard that this novel is not only popular in China, but even more popular abroad! You can do it! No wonder Warner is looking for you. How did you get the movie rights?"

Ye Fan smiled and said: "It's a surprise that I got it. I was in Hong Kong Island before..."

After hearing the ins and outs of Ye Fan's adaptation, Mr. Han shook his head in a funny way. He felt that Ye Fan was so lucky that he could discover a gold mine novel even when visiting a friend's house.

With the popularity of "Harry Potter", it will definitely not be bad at the box office if made into a movie. Thinking of this, Mr. Han couldn't help but feel excited.

"Xiao Fan, I know you are not short of money, but the group company has just been established, so we will not invest in "Old Boy". "Harry Potter" can lead the company, right?"

"Third Master, what are you talking about? With or without your words, based on our friendship, I will definitely call you. After all, the company is a company, and you are you."

Mr. Han laughed heartily after hearing this and patted Ye Fan on the shoulder. He was very satisfied with Ye Fan's success.

He told Ye Fan that he would let people notify him and give "Infernal Affairs" a good screening treatment, and then went to greet others.

However, Ye Fan complained very much in his heart that "Infernal Affairs" was not as good as their investment, so shouldn't they be given good treatment?

Fortunately, the script of "Death" has not been settled, and Ye Fan is not going to talk about it. He plans to invest in some movies himself and make a big fortune!

Ye Fan stopped thinking about it and turned around to chat with some elders. When the chat was almost over, Ye Fan left to attend the fifth Spring Festival Gala rehearsal...

During the last two rounds of Spring Festival Gala rehearsals every year, there are always a lot of reporters outside the CCTV headquarters, and this time is no exception.

Moreover, reporters all knew that Ye Fan would definitely attend the Spring Festival Gala, and they would keep an eye on passing vehicles. The chance of Ye Fan sneaking in like before was very slim.

Fortunately, CCTV also knew about Ye Fan's situation, and Chen Yulu also arranged for someone to help Ye Fan control the order in advance, so that Ye Fan could get in the car smoothly.

The reporters had no choice but to take photos and shout outside, hoping that Ye Fan would be interviewed.

It's a pity that Ye Fan didn't pay attention. He took the car and entered the door. As soon as the door was closed, the world suddenly became peaceful...

There were many Hong Kong and Taiwan artists who participated in the 1999 Spring Festival Gala, but the person Ye Fan was most familiar with was naturally Ren Xianqi.

Not long after Ye Fan arrived at the dressing room, Xiao Qi came to the door after hearing the news.

"I heard that you prepared a new song?"

"Yes, it's quite festive. You'll know after a while."

Ren Xianqi said with emotion: "You have new songs coming out endlessly. I don't know how you can write so many songs. When will you release your next album?"

Ye Fan thought for a moment and said, "It's estimated to be at the end of March or early April, or maybe earlier. Depending on when I finish recording the song, I'll definitely have to leave some time for promotion."

Ren Xianqi nodded and said: "That's okay. My new album is expected to be released in June or July, so that I can keep away from you. I really don't want to release songs at the same time as you. It's too stressful."

Ye Fan laughed and said, "Is it that exaggerated? It's impossible for me to have such high sales for every album."

Ren Xianqi rolled his eyes and said: "Do you believe what you say? The two songs of "Savage Girl" have become so popular, how can the new album be worse?"

"I'm not talking about you anymore, but you don't know how popular Jay Chou's new album is."

These words made Ye Fan unable to be humble even if he wanted to.

Jay Chou's "JAY" has been released for more than a month, and it sold more than 417,000 copies in Taiwan Province, more than 536,000 copies in the mainland, and more than 75,000 copies in Hong Kong Island.

The nationwide sales of "JAY" in the first month reached 1.028 million. Although it was not as exaggerated as Zeng Li, it still caught the attention of many people.

Zeng Li's new album sold more than 1 million copies in the first month, and the full support of "Sassy Girlfriend" and Ye Fan played a big role.

Although Ye Fan also helped Jay Chou, his support for Zeng Li cannot be compared to his support. "JAY" can achieve this sales volume, it can be said that Jay Chou has this strength.

This sales volume brought an after-tax income of 27.334 million to [Chaoyang Company].

Of course, the gross profit is certainly not that high. Publicity and channel costs, as well as Jay Chou's share, must be calculated separately. The album income of Ye Fan and Zeng Li is also the same.

Ye Fan chuckled and stopped continuing the topic, so as not to irritate Xiao Qi, he started talking about movies.

Ye Fan made a guest appearance in this year's Spring Festival movie "Infernal Affairs", and Xiao Qi also played a supporting role in "Glass Bottle". It would be no problem for the two of them to be opposite each other again.

Xiao Qi didn't care about this. With Cheng Long's movies, who could steal his limelight? He was actually interested in Ye Fan's movies.

"When is your new movie going to be shot? Is there any role suitable for me?"

Ye Fan was not surprised that Xiao Qi wanted to participate in his movie. Who wouldn't want to participate? With the relationship between the two of them, it would be no problem to consider Xiao Qi.

"There is a tragic villain who plays opposite my brother. If you are interested, I will mention it to others when the time comes."

Xiao Qi smiled and said: "No problem, a villain is a villain. I can't play some protagonists with my looks, so I will definitely have no problem playing a villain."

Ye Fan was also amused by his self-deprecation.

"Hahaha, don't belittle yourself. The main problem is the route. You are suitable for a tough guy style. Forget about the love affairs."

Xiao Qi nodded with all his thoughts in mind. With Ye Fan's vision and status, his words were very informative...

While the two were chatting, people came to visit Ye Fan one after another. When Xiao Qi saw this, he went back.

After all, more than a year has passed and Ye Fan's status can be said to be different from what it used to be.

In addition to some young people, Feng Gong also took the initiative to chat with Ye Fan because of Ye Fan's last call. Some Mesozoic artists such as Fan Wei, Guo Donglin and Dashan also came to Ye Fan's dressing room.

Of course they won't say that they are here to visit the dock, but it is always right to meet the boss face to face, show their understanding, and establish a good relationship.

After entertaining them, Ye Fan also started his own visit. Sister Xiangnan and Sister Ludong were definitely must-visits.

Because of Uncle Ye Fan's relationship, Sister Lu Dong asked Ye Fan to have time to have dinner at her house later in the year, and Ye Fan agreed without even thinking about it!

Why the hell are you still hesitating? Ye Fan would have to crawl over if he had the chance to hug the biggest thigh.

After that, except for a few people such as Zhao Benshan and Anita Mui, Ye Fan went to visit him. Others were no longer qualified to let Ye Fan take the initiative to visit.

After finishing the necessary items for the Spring Festival Gala, Ye Fan returned to the dressing room and began to prepare for the rehearsal...

On February 13th, [Xinlang] officially signed a financing agreement with all parties.

Li Yaozong participated in this ceremony on behalf of [Zhongsheng Company]. The moment he signed the contract, he represented Ye Fan and took 11.93% of the shares of [Xinlang].

After signing, Wang Zhidong and other investment representatives were asking Li Yaozong who was the boss behind Zhongsheng Company.

But Li Yaozong remembered Ye Fan's instructions and did not disclose his existence. He only said that he would come forward when the opportunity was right.

Other investment representatives were a little reluctant and had no choice. [Zhongsheng Company] was established through an offshore company. The shares were very complicated and it was very difficult to find the people behind it.

Wang Zhidong thought for a while but didn't say anything. There must be a reason why he didn't want to come forward. Anyway, he just got the money.

However, Li Yaozong, in the name of a shareholder, proposed that it would be better to choose a celebrity spokesperson, which would be more conducive to the development of [Xinlang].

This not only made other representatives agree, but also changed the topic. Wang Zhidong also said that he would consider it.

As for which celebrity in China is the most popular? Needless to say?

Ye Fan's investment of 10 million US dollars was not in vain. If he doesn't take the opportunity to get some back, how can he live up to the endless calls of the majority of netizens?

Although QQ has been established and has gradually become popular across the country, Ye Fan has not used a social account so far. Even if Xiao Ma wanted to ask him to set up QQQ, he did not agree.

Not to mention that the current Internet is chaotic and QQ account hacking incidents occur frequently. If you want him to use social products to increase his reputation, it will not do anything good.

After the signing ceremony, Wang Zhidong took Li Yaodong and other investors to Jufu Tower for a celebration banquet.

There were not many restaurants that were opened a few years ago, and Jufulou is considered one of them. And with the current grade and quality of Jufulou, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is among the top ten restaurants in the capital...

At the same time, eighteen people were having a dinner together in Jufu Tower, and a man with a broad forehead and narrow chin was speaking.

"Thank you for trusting me so much and being willing to give up the Yellow Pages and come back to Hangzhou to start a business with me. Brothers and sisters are so united, we will definitely succeed!"

"Boss, we believe in you, we will definitely succeed!"

"Yes, boss, as the founder, you dare to resign from the public office, what can we not dare to do?"

"Yes, without you, Yellow Pages would not be able to develop to what it is now. Those VCs who don't invest are simply lack of vision!"

…

Seeing everyone supporting him, Jack Ma felt moved and sad at the same time. If those VCs were willing to invest in him, who would want to give up his hard work in the public sector?

Jack Ma looked out the window at the bustling streets of the capital. He left the capital this time and didn't know when he would be able to come back.

Thinking of this, Jack Ma's eyes became very determined. He must come back, and he must come back with great success!

Suddenly, Jack Ma saw several cars arriving at the entrance of Jufulou. Everyone who got off the car saw that his eyes lit up. It was Wang Zhidong and others who came!

They were all from the Internet circle, and Jack Ma, the founder of [Xinlang], naturally recognized them. He had met several others when he was looking for VCs before, and knew they were from investment companies.

Jack Ma feels that he is very lucky today. If he can take this opportunity to attract their investment, it will be very easy for him to start his business!
