297 Li Xiaoran, who appeared in Fast and Furious and eager to learn(1/2)
The next day, Ye Fan got up early and went out to exercise. Not only was the weather cool in the early morning, but few reporters could get up so early and come to block him.
As soon as Ye Fan walked to the door to join the bodyguards, he saw Jiao Enjun being brought out by Uncle Huang.
"Young, Brother Jiao, what's going on with you? Didn't you sleep last night? Are the dark circles under your eyes so heavy?"
Jiao Enjun said with a wry smile: "I went back to play "War of the Three Kingdoms" last night, and I played until the early morning without realizing it. As a result, I was woken up by Brother Huang again early in the morning."
"Mr. Ye, can I not exercise today and let me go back and get some sleep?"
Ye Fan chuckled: "I won't call you tomorrow, but I'm here today. I'll feel better after exercising, and play less games at night. Sleeping late is not good for your health."
Jiao Enjun nodded helplessly. He regretted now that he wanted to exercise with Ye Fan. If there was no "War of the Three Kingdoms", he could barely get up. He played this game too late and really couldn't get up the next day.
Seeing this, Ye Fan was not going to force him tomorrow. They liked the game "War of the Three Kingdoms" better.
But today everyone was called down, and Ye Fan still pulled him to run together...
Ye Fan came to the set and saw Zhang Jin, Li Xiaoran and other people who had played games yesterday. They either had dark circles under their eyes or looked like they were yawning. They must have played games very late last night.
Master Yuan Ba was surprised when he saw it and asked them what they were doing last night. They all looked depressed.
Seeing this, Ye Fan hurriedly ran to the dressing room, so that he wouldn't have to take the blame again, so he sent a few computers. Ye Fan couldn't control what they were doing when they went back in the evening. Who knows if Zhang Jin was playing games or watching some movies?
But looking at this, the first generation of internet-addicted stars has taken shape, and the chances of Li Xiaoran and the others taking the initiative to come to Ye Fan's room will become much smaller...
In the evening, Ye Fan received a call from Cao Xin. The script for "Fast and Furious" was finally found!
"Sister Xin, you didn't let Warner notice anything strange, did you?"
"No, I read it for a few times and then put it down. Then I looked at other scripts. They didn't find any problems. But how did you know there was such a script? Are you so sure you want it?"
Ye Fan casually said: "This is not simple. You don't know how much Americans love racing. Add in the action scenes and the content of ethnic minorities, and it will definitely become popular in the United States."
Cao Xin curled her lips and gave such a perfunctory reason. She really thought she was stupid. She didn't believe Ye Fan's lies. Some of the things he asked her to do often made people feel very weird.
But Ye Fan was her younger brother and he was so kind to her. Seeing that Ye Fan was unwilling to say more, Cao Xin didn't ask any more questions.
"One of the ethnic minorities is Dominican, and the other one is white. What's the point of putting so much effort into it? You can't act on your own."
"Hey, what's the point? Just change the script. Aren't Chinese also a minority in the United States? Just ask Warner to get the rights as soon as possible."
"I'll try my best. The screenwriter also submitted the script to Universal. The two companies are in a competitive relationship. You still have to buy out his copyright. Let's see how much Warner is willing to pay."
"Oh? What's the specific situation? When did they write this script?"
"This is actually written in their outline..."
After Cao Xin's explanation, Ye Fan learned that the appearance of the "Fast and Furious" script was related to an American magazine article in 1998.
An Asian reporter published an article in a magazine about illegally modified racing cars in the Big Apple called "Racer X."
This article focuses on the underground modified car racing circle in the Big Apple City. The core figure is Rafael, a driver from the Dominican Republic. He is the prototype of "The Don".
His article aroused the interest of director Rob. Cohen found Gary, a little-known screenwriter at the time, to adapt the article into a script. Producer Neil was responsible for project operations and submitted the script to Universal Pictures.
But at this time, Universal and the original author were not very optimistic about the script. They felt that illegally modified cars and underground racing were a small subculture, and not many people would watch it after it was adapted into a movie.
In addition, Universal has many A-level projects planned for 1999. Compared with "Gladiator" and "Jurassic 3", the queue time for "Fast and Furious" is obviously later.
At this time, Neil heard that Warner was frantically looking for B-level project scripts, so he submitted "Fast and Furious" to Warner to see if Warner would invest.
But Neil never imagined that Warner came here not for investment, but for the copyright. A few years later, Neil and the original creators of "Fast and Furious" were very regretful...
After Ye Fan listened, he was secretly glad. Unless he could go to Hollywood in 1997, he would definitely be in trouble when writing this script.
But it's okay now. With Warner working for him, he doesn't have to worry about the script copyright.
"By the way, now that the script has been finalized, I'm going to go through the procedures for opening a new company. What are you going to name the company?"
Ye Fan thought for a while and said: "Let's call it Panda Pictures. I'll give you 10 million US dollars first. It should be enough for a long time."
"Panda? That's fine, but you are really rich. You can take 10 million US dollars as soon as you want. Many rich people here may not have as much cash as you."
"It doesn't matter. I can get hundreds of millions of dollars. I just keep a low profile."
"Tch, just brag about it and give you hundreds of millions of dollars. You really have so much money that you can even be ranked in Forbes."
Seeing that Cao Xin didn't believe it, Ye Fan smiled and said nothing. He asked Cao Xin to register the company and transfer the copyright of "Harry Potter".
"Death" and "Fast and Furious" are also directly operated by American companies. When the time is right, let Panda Company be listed in the United States and reap the benefits of American leeks...ahem...earn US dollars!
Anyway, the market value of a movie company is mainly related to movie revenue, and the technological content is relatively small. When the time comes, whether the content of Panda Company's movies is good and whether it can have high box office, is not his decision?
Of his 250 million savings, he has only spent about 112 million until now, with more than half left, which makes Ye Fan a little melancholy. Spending money is really difficult...
At the same time, a new issue of "Variety Show" began to air. It promoted Ye Fan's name in the early stage and did not disappoint the audience.
Ye Fan sang three songs at once on the show, which made his fans enjoy watching. The ratings of "Variety Show" also continued to rise, with the highest ratings once exceeding 60%.
During the ten minutes that Ye Fan sang, the average ratings were stable at over 30%, which was higher than the average ratings of some popular TV series. Even the ratings of "Dragon" were affected.
When Chen Yulu called Ye Fan to tell her about this the next day, she laughed and said that the only person who could write "Dragon" was Ye Fan.
Ye Fan was humble and didn't say much. It can only be said that he suppressed "Dragon Babu" because of special circumstances, or because he did a good job in hunger marketing. If he often appeared on the show, it would definitely not have this effect.
This has also made the outside world, in addition to the popularity of Ye Fan's new album once again, increased the calls from his fans and some media for him to hold a concert, and major event organizers have also begun to add fuel to the fire.
You don't need to think about it to know that the income from Ye Fan's concerts will definitely be very terrifying, and everyone in this industry chain can make a lot of money.
Many people even think that Ye Fan is ignorant. Why can't he make money even if he has money? He just doesn't have time to go to school. But when he has time, he goes to film and television dramas. Can their income be compared with that of concerts?
But it's a pity that Ye Fan is so clueless. He has his own plans and doesn't want to be kidnapped by fans and capital.
Ye Fan just wants to expand his influence by becoming a star. He has many ways to make money. If he really wants to hold a concert, his main purpose is to expand his influence and give back to his fans. Making money is just a side trip.
Besides, he doesn’t have time this year. If he has time, he will enjoy life. How tiring it is to hold a concert. Isn’t it wonderful to work with the little sister?
However, if this is the case, it is really only possible that he might hold a concert in his junior year. By then, his title of "Ace Pigeon" will probably be upgraded to "God of Pigeon"...
Although [Warner Records Headquarters] has found a lyricist, it will take some time to go through visa and other procedures, so it will take a few days for the person to arrive in the country. Ye Fan still has time to finish composing the English song.
However, he was busy working at night. Jiao Enjun, Li Xiaoran and others continued to practice "War of the Three Kingdoms" in their rooms or conference rooms, and their level improved rapidly. It is estimated that next time Ye Fan fights them, it will not be so easy to abuse them.
This made the reporters outside very depressed. Why are all the big-name celebrities so powerful now? They can't help but not go out to play or have dinner together at night?
They stayed outside for several nights, but other than feeding mosquitoes, they didn't get any news and very few photos.
How did the reporters know that Jiao Enjun and others had been initially transformed into Internet addicted stars by Ye Fan, and that there was nothing interesting in Hengdian in 1999. The culture of otakus and otakus began to emerge in 1999...
"Dongdongdong..."
Suddenly, Ye Fan, who was composing music, heard a knock on the door. He guessed it must be someone from the crew, otherwise there would be bodyguards outside and no one would be able to get to his room.
After Ye Fan saw the people outside through the peephole, he smiled slightly. He seemed to be no longer alone tonight, and then he opened the door.
"Why did you come here and not play games with them?"
Li Xiaoran said depressedly: "I can't beat them, so I'm not asking you for help."
After Li Xiaoran finished speaking, he walked straight into the room. Ye Fan didn't stop him and closed the door smoothly.
When the bodyguards outside saw this, they rolled their eyes one after another, and then scattered away, stopping at strategic locations to prevent anyone from discovering something they shouldn't.
After all, a beautiful woman came to the door and Ye Fan asked her to enter the room. As soon as the door was closed, everyone knew what would happen next!
A man and a woman alone play games in a room late at night? Do you believe it?
Li Xiaoran walked into the room, saw the screen on the computer and asked: "Boss, you didn't play games? Are you writing songs?"
Ye Fan smiled and said: "Yes, I have a lot of things to do, so how can I have time to play games often?"
Li Xiaoran started to speak: "Then you don't have time to teach me how to play tonight?"
"You and everyone are here, and I have to have time even if I don't have time, otherwise you will probably secretly complain about me behind my back again."
When Li Xiaoran heard this, he was happy at first, and then he said: "No way, how dare I accuse you, boss! Don't frame me falsely."
After Li Xiaoran finished speaking, when she saw some English lyrics written on the computer, her eyes lit up and she said: "Are you writing English songs? Are you preparing to enter Europe and the United States?"
Ye Fan nodded and said, "Yes, I will release an English album next time, and I will go to the United States to promote the album in the second half of the year."
Hearing this, Li Xiaoran's beautiful eyes were shining again and again, and she looked at Ye Fan and exclaimed: "Boss, you are so awesome. You are going to become an international superstar soon. I can have an international superstar teach me how to play games. There is no one else who gets this kind of treatment."
Ye Fan smiled and said, "It's good if you know. I'll start the game and teach you where you can't play well."
"Okay, I still want to play Diao Chan, please teach me how to play."
Li Xiaoran smiled and sat next to Ye Fan, waiting for Ye Fan to teach her...
After the teaching was almost done, Ye Fan let her operate it by herself while he gave guidance.
However, Li Xiaoran's gaming talent is really limited, and even with Ye Fan's guidance, his level is still very poor.
"Oops, I still can't beat it. Boss, please help me operate it!"
"Oh, I'm really convinced by you. Look at how I play."
After Ye Fan finished speaking, he sat directly behind Li Xiaoran with a stool, held her hand and helped her operate.
This made Li Xiaoran's body tense instantly and her mind went blank. She didn't expect Ye Fan to teach her how to operate.
Li Xiaoran is now separated from Ye Fan by the back of a chair. Their bodies are so close. Ye Fan leans his head on the back of the chair, and his breath makes Li Xiaoran's ears itch.
"Old...boss, you...you..."
