291 English albums of company affairs and tidying up(1/2)
The sound of Ye Fan entering the door alerted Ning Hao and others, and they quickly stood up to say hello to Ye Fan.
Ye Fan waved his hand and said: "Sit down, please don't be polite. How is the script writing?"
Ning Hao picked up a volume of manuscripts and handed it over and said: ""The Day the Country went Bankrupt" has been written. Mr. Ye, please take a look. We are still writing the other two."
Ye Fan nodded, took the script and read it...
After reading it for a long time, Ye Fan said: "Yes, basically there is nothing to change. The other two books will also maintain this level. I will give you bonuses after finishing them."
When Ning Hao and others heard about the bonus, their faces all burst into smiles.
Normally, Ning Hao and others receive a fixed remuneration. If they write a book and the company takes notice, they will pay a part of the fee first, and they will get a share if it is made into a film or television series.
If Ye Fan or other companies need them to write scripts for them, they will be given separate bonuses if they write better scripts. This condition is relatively generous for screenwriters.
In particular, the copyright share of their own scripts is a treatment that is generally reserved for well-known screenwriters.
Because the copyright awareness was not perfect in 1999, many film and television companies paid the screenwriter a fee to directly buy out the copyright. Even if the film and television drama became a hit, apart from making the screenwriter more famous, there was nothing else to think about.
Ye Fan encouraged them again, picked up the script and walked towards Wang Jinghua's office...
"Sister Hua, how is the acquisition of SM company's shares going?"
When Wang Jinghua saw Ye Fan coming to his office in person, she quickly stood up and replied:
"Mr. Ye, your ban has been very effective. SM has suffered setbacks in the Chinese market, and its valuation has been lowered by securities companies."
"Boss Yang and others helped acquire 16.75% of SM's shares. The remaining securities companies are unwilling to sell, and Li Xiuman already knows about this."
"In addition, our money was converted into US dollars, and together with the premium acquisition, we spent more than 35 million. According to its current valuation, we spent more than 6 million more."
In 1999, domestic banks did not directly exchange RMB and Korean won. RMB had to be converted into US dollars first, and then converted into Korean won overseas.
Exchange rate changes, valuation changes, middlemen making price differences and forced purchase of shares, only spending more than 6 million more is not bad.
"As long as it exceeds 15%, I will send someone to Korea to find Lee Soo Man with the script and tell him that as a shareholder, I want to make this movie and ask him to cooperate."
"By the way, tell him when this movie will be released in South Korea and when my blocking order will end."
After speaking, Ye Fan handed the script to Wang Jinghua. She took it and said with some worry:
"Mr. Ye, if you are so forceful, will Li Xiuman disagree and copy our script? After all, with the shame of Bangzi, they can do this."
Ye Fan sneered and said: "Does he dare to film this content now? Besides, I don't believe he dares to risk losing the Chinese market and offend me."
"If he dares to do it, as long as SM goes public, I can kill his company with my money and tell him to get out of SM."
Seeing how confident Ye Fan was, Wang Jinghua smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll make arrangements now."
Ye Fan nodded, turned around and walked towards Zhang Xing's office. He also wanted to know about the album...
After learning about it, Ye Fan's new album "Love Is Not a Last Resort" finally made the headlines thanks to the company's unremitting promotion.
But because there are no new chart-topping songs, the company spent more on promotion expenses this time.
Fortunately, the MV does not need to be specially shot this time. Instead, it uses edited film and television content, which saves a lot of money and makes the album much faster.
However, Ye Fan will still go to "Variety Show" to record a show on the 2nd. After all, he had promised Chen Yulu before that he would go to "Variety Show" to promote his new album.
Although Ye Fan's current schedule can only show one episode, Chen Yulu doesn't mind.
Anyway, with Ye Fan's current fame, as long as he can show his face, he can increase the ratings of "Variety Show", even if Ye Fan sings the three songs that have already been released, it doesn't matter.
In this way, the new episode of "Variety Show" will be broadcast on April 10th. If Ye Fan sings three songs at once on the show, the ratings will definitely explode, and the publicity effect for his new album, which will be released on April 15th, will also be better.
.
Finally, after Ye Fan learned that 6 million copies of each version of the new album had been produced, he asked Zhang Xing to ask the tape factory to suspend production until the sales volume of the new album came out.
After all, MP3 and online audio piracy has appeared, and domestic singers’ record sales have declined to varying degrees this year. Ye Fan is ready to take a look at the situation and say...
After leaving the company, Ye Fan went to [Huayi Publishing House] to check out the content and progress of "Pirates of the Caribbean" and "Underworld".
After finding that there was no problem, Ye Fan drew a cake for Yu Entai and then returned to the Central Theater.
Ye Fan still has a few days to rest. Taking this opportunity, he plans to stay at school for a few days and accompany Zeng Li. The two have not spent time together since they separated on the first day of the new year...
Zeng Li saw Ye Fan coming back with a relaxed look on his face and said happily: "Are you done with your work? How many days can you rest this time?"
Ye Fan said with a smile: "I'm done with my work. I can't say how many days I'll have to rest. Mr. Yuan Ba will call me when my part comes, but I should be able to have it in three or four days."
Hearing that there were only a few days left, Zeng Li looked disappointed and said, "It's only a few days, and I have to be separated from you again. I'm not happy."
Ye Fan said pity: "Yuan Baye shoots very fast. I will come back immediately after filming. If you miss me, you can go to Hengdian on the weekend. I will accompany you well these days."
"Okay, I still miss the days of filming with you, being able to work together, and being together."
Ye Fan smiled and said: "I really miss the days in school. I just have to go to class every day and don't have to worry about other things. It's so relaxing. When we graduate next year, there won't be such good days."
Zeng Li nodded in agreement and said, "You're right, life at school is the most comfortable. After I became famous, so many people came to visit me when I went back that I got really annoyed."
As soon as the topic started, Zeng Li couldn't help but tell Ye Fan about what happened during this period. She was followed by paparazzi when she went out, and there were many juniors and juniors at school looking for her autographs, so she couldn't go shopping and eating openly, etc.
Ye Fan listened silently to Zeng Li's complaints and even complimented him from time to time. The two of them chatted happily.
The women in the class were envious and the men's balls ached. Ye Fan acted like a dog when he came back. He didn't care about the feelings of some singles at all. He was really not a son of a man!
Fortunately, the bell rang and Chang Li also walked into the classroom. She glanced at Ye Fan and started the class without saying anything.
Ye Fan and Zeng Li didn't dare to chat anymore, so they calmed down and listened carefully to the lecture...
After school, Ye Fan and Zeng Li left the school respectively to avoid being followed by the paparazzi. They had a meal at Jufulou Building. They were fully armed and went shopping...
"Well, after this becomes famous, it will no longer be convenient to go shopping and watch movies."
"It's okay. Senior Brother Li is getting married in September. Let's go to Los Angeles in the United States together. Then I will accompany you for a walk."
"Okay, I want to visit Hollywood by then!"
Looking at Zeng Li who was as happy as a child, Ye Fan smiled and touched her head, took her into the cinema and lived a life like an ordinary couple...
When I got home in the evening, two bodyguards helped Ye Fan carry the things Zeng Li bought upstairs, while the other two bodyguards checked downstairs to make sure there were no paparazzi following him.
Now that the two of them are so famous, they have to be careful when going out and coming home, otherwise the relationship between the two will be exposed, which will be a lot of fun.
This made Ye Fan think that he should find a few communities with better security and buy a few more houses. A cunning rabbit would only have three burrows, but an old fox like him, Mr. Ye Daguan, could not afford to have 30 burrows.
"mua~ I'm going to take a shower first, you wait for me."
Zeng Li's sneak attack interrupted Ye Fan's thinking. Looking at Zeng Li's affectionate face and sweet smile, Ye Fan understood that he would have to work overtime again in the evening.
But no one would refuse such overtime work, right?
But since he was working overtime, Ye Fan had to get down to business first.
Last year's "Light Years Away (English)" had good results, which gave Ye Fan a certain degree of popularity in the United States, and also let him know that he can still make his mark in the United States these days as a Chinese.
So Ye Fan walked into the room and turned on the computer, ready to start writing English songs.
During this time, he has already selected the songs for the English album.
In his previous life, Ye Fan's English proficiency could only be said to be average. The music scores of English songs were no problem for him, but he might not be able to write all the lyrics. He would definitely need Warner's help in this regard.
In addition, inappropriate parts of the lyrics can be adjusted in this way. In addition to lightning protection, it can also be more consistent with Ye Fan's character.
Taking into account the issue of song release time, Ye Fan selected songs that were released by European and American singers after the second half of 2000, and the singers who released these songs had to release albums in the first half of the year.
If they had written the song long ago, they would not have waited until the second half of 2000 or 2001 to release the song. This would have minimized the risk of a crash.
And Ye Fan is going to play a big game first!
Because the first song he chose was "Gangnam Style"!
This song will definitely not crash if I write it now, and if Bangzi’s song is not good, I would be sorry for the disgusting things they did!
It goes without saying how popular this song is. After Psy released "Gangnam Style" in July 2012, it immediately became popular all over the world. Not only did it have high sales overseas, but the number of online downloads was also terrifying.
It has ranked first in the music charts in almost every country in the world, and has also ranked second in the U.S. Billboard. Of course, this is also inseparable from the contribution of online communication.
The MV for "Gangnam Style" has a click rate of 2.15 billion times on the Internet, and even the system on the YouTube can no longer perform calculations, breaking through the limits of the YouTube system.
It even quickly became a popular culture around the world and triggered a large number of secondary creations.
Therefore, compared to the sales volume of this song, Ye Fan values the huge cultural output and social influence of this song more.
In the past, American culture was exported to the world, but this time Ye Fan will be the first to export Chinese culture to the United States!
As for whether dancing a horse-riding dance will ruin his image, Ye Fan is not worried.
In his previous life, "Gangnam Style" was also very popular in China. Many domestic celebrities have performed horseback riding dance on some programs. They don't have the baggage of idols, and with Ye Fan's face, it doesn't matter.
Moreover, Ye Fan can "create" a new kind of culture that is popular around the world. He has such influence that others can't even envy him. Are they laughing at Ye Fan? He can crush them with his achievements alone.
If it weren't for the image issue in Europe and the United States, Ye Fan would have planned to make an English version of "Little Apple" so that foreigners could see what it means to fill their ears with magic sounds!
But it's not too late. If he can successfully establish himself in the European and American music scene, Ye Fan will definitely export "Little Apple" to the outside world!
For the second English song, Ye Fan chose "Better Man". "World Football" likes to use this song very much.
This song is from Robbie Williams' new album in October 2000. His new album in February 2000 did not have this song. Ye Fan would have no problem releasing this song before then.
Ye Fan also had other plans when he chose this song, because in the special program of "World Football" on Baggio, the program also used "Better Man" to pay tribute to Baggio.
So Ye Fan is the original creator of "Better Man", so he doesn't have the final say on who to pay tribute to?
To be continued...
