081 Jay Chou's Arrival and Script
October 8, Yanjing Airport
After picking up his luggage and walking to the entrance, Jay Chou saw young men waiting for him at the door holding signs with his name on them.
Jay Chou quickly stepped forward and said: "Hello, I am Jay Chou."
The young man looked at his ID and confirmed that he was himself, then he said with a smile: "Hello, my name is Jiang Huang. I am an employee of Ye Fan Studio. I came here to pick you up specially. Come with me.
"
After saying that, Jiang Huang helped Jay Chou pick up the bag and walked outside together...
Jay Chou, who came to the mainland for the first time, was also very curious about this place. He sat in the car and kept looking at the scenery outside.
"What's your relationship with Mr. Ye? He specially asked me to pick you up, and he really values you." Jiang Huang asked, who was driving.
Jay Chou turned around and replied: "Ye Fan? We met at a book signing event, we can be considered friends."
Jiang Huang smiled and said, "That's it, then you're pretty lucky." Seeing that the two of them weren't very familiar with each other, Jiang Huang didn't ask any more questions and concentrated on driving...
In order to save money, Ye Fan arranged his studio in a courtyard house he bought in Houhai. This apartment was relatively new and relatively large. After a slight renovation, Ye Fan used it as the studio's office.
Looking at Director Jay in front of him, Ye Fan poured him a cup of tea and said, "You will probably stay here for a long time. Your family members will agree to your coming."
"I made an agreement with my mother. She knew it was your invitation and agreed for me to come over and take a look first." Jay Chou took the tea and said, "She asked me to thank you for giving me this opportunity."
After saying that, Jay Chou took out the Wanwan specialties he brought and gave them to Ye Fan.
"Then thank Auntie for me." After Ye Fan took the gift, he put it aside and said with a smile: "I will arrange for you to live in another courtyard nearby. You can adapt to the climate here first and feel comfortable with it.
Now, let’s start writing songs, or you can hang out here now.”
"Okay, thank you then." After Jay Chou finished speaking, he said hesitantly: "What about the signing?"
Ye Fan asked: "You should also know something about singer signings. What do you think?"
Jay Chou plucked up the courage and said, "I don't mind if the tenure can be shorter and the salary is lower. I still want to return to Wanwan in the future, after all, my mother is there."
Ye Fan thought for a while and said: "Then let's go to 2000. There is a three-year period. There is no limit to the number of albums, but the prerequisite is that your songs must be approved by me. The salary and sharing should be based on normal standards."
Zhang Xing listened to Ye Fan's words and shook his head. He didn't know what kind of magic power Jay Chou had that made Ye Fan give him such good treatment.
But who said Ye Fan was the boss? This was also the singer he found, and Zhang Xing didn't say much.
When Jay Chou heard this condition, he was so excited that he was speechless.
Seeing this, Ye Fan smiled and said: "Let's just make friends. I don't know why, but I feel attracted to you when I see you. I hope you won't let me down."
"Yeah, thank you Ye Fan." Jay Chou finally said normally: "I will work hard to write songs and I won't let you down!"
"You compose the music first, and don't worry about the lyrics. I will help you find a way." After saying that, Ye Fan introduced his second uncle and Jay Chou to each other, and let his second uncle handle the rest.
Ye Fan is going back to class, but he took a leave of absence.
As for why he only signed a short-term contract with Jay Chou, it was because Ye Fan knew that some people could not be retained by force, and Jay Chou was a filial son and was destined to return to Wanwan.
Ye Fan can also make money by helping Jay Chou become famous. If the relationship is in place, even if Jay Chou returns to Wanwan, he might be able to help Ye Fan even more?
When he returned to school, it happened to be teacher Chang Li's performance theory class. Ye Fan returned to his seat with some embarrassment and listened to the class.
After class, Ye Fan took his briefcase and followed Chang Li to the office.
"Tell me, what's the matter?" Chang Li looked at Ye Fan and said, "If you still want to ask for leave, don't say anything."
Ye Fan smiled and said: "How can I, Grandma Chang, I have other matters and I would like to come and consult."
Seeing Chang Li's disbelieving expression, Ye Fan had no choice but to say: "I just want to ask, if I want to make a TV series, does the school have any financial support?"
Chang Li looked at Ye Fan in surprise, and then asked: "Why do you ask this suddenly? The school does have this fee, but don't even think about it for freshmen. Even juniors and seniors can't afford that amount of money.
Come on, why, do you want to make a TV series out of your novel?"
Fortunately, Ye Fan was mentally prepared, and if he was cheated... Bah! Seeing that he couldn't get investment, Ye Fan was not too disappointed. He explained: "It's not my novel. If I want to make a TV series, the school's money won't be enough."
"What I want to shoot is a low-cost TV series, a youth campus type. As for the actors, my classmates can just act together. I'll ask you now."
Chang Li asked curiously: "Oh? Listening to your words, you are so confident in this drama? Have you brought the script?"
"I brought it, but I just wrote the outline of the script and the first few episodes. I haven't finished the rest yet, so you can take a look at it first." After saying that, Ye Fan took the script out of his bag and handed it to Chang Li.
After Chang Li took it, she started to look at it while walking.
"Story outline: Xiong Bo, the principal of Jiaying Middle School, decided to start teaching in small classes in the third year of high school. In order to let the children truly experience the happiness brought by quality education, Xiong Bo hired Gu Yuetao, a teacher from Jiancheng Middle School..."
"At the opening ceremony, Gu Yuetao and Pei Pei were surprised to find that the other party actually taught in the same school..."
"The first episode..."
After looking at each other, the two of them had already walked to the office. Chang Li returned to her seat and continued to read.
Ye Fan was sitting quietly on the side. The other teachers looked at the two of them, curious about what was going on, but looking at Chang Li's appearance, they didn't bother them.
After a long time, Chang Li raised her head and said to Ye Fan: "The story is a good story, but this is not a script. What you wrote is just a novel. There is no opening scene, the lines are not classified well, and there are no
detailed."
Ye Fan said calmly: "I'm studying right now, and I'm short on time, so I didn't write it down in detail. I'm going to give you a look first."
"The story is quite good. If the script is written more carefully and better, it will definitely be a good drama." Chang Li said, "But don't think about the funding. If you need personnel and equipment, I can help you.
Ask, but there is still a fee, but the price can be cheaper.”
When the other teachers heard what Chang Li said, they realized that what Chang Li was reading was a script. Not long after school started, Ye Fan wanted to make a TV series, so they all came forward, took the script and started reading it.
What Ye Fan wanted was what Chang Li said, and he said with a smile: "The school has no money, so I came here by myself. Then please ask Teacher Chang Li to help me ask how much it costs to rent the school's equipment. I'll calculate the cost first."
."
Only then did Chang Li realize that she had been tricked by Ye Fan. Ye Fan was not short of money at all, and this was his purpose.
But Chang Li doesn't mind. To her, the smarter the students, the better, as long as they don't go astray.
So Chang Li said: "Then you must first decide on the director, how many other crew members will be there, and determine the shooting period, so that you can calculate the cost."
Ye Fan looked at the teachers around him and said cautiously: "As for the director, I would like to ask Li Geng to shoot."
Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, the surrounding area suddenly became quiet. All the teachers looked at Ye Fan. The strange atmosphere made Ye Fan swallow his saliva.
At this time, Chen Gang, who was holding the script, said: "Xiao Fan, we have so many directors in China Film Academy, why do you want a director from Beijing Film Academy to film it?"
"Yes, yes." Other teachers also echoed.
Ye Fan quickly explained: "That's right, teachers, you should have heard about what happened outside before. The reason Teacher Cui spoke up for me was because Director Li spoke up for me, so I have to repay this kindness."
Everyone saw that this was the reason and didn't say anything more.
Chang Li nodded understandingly and said: "Since that's the reason, it's okay. The directing department probably won't say anything. What about the actors? What do you think? Acting teachers, you guys don't have any age.
suitable."
In Ye Fan's heart, he already had a candidate for the male lead, but he was not sure about it, so he said: "I will play Shi Yanfeng, Gu Jiantao, and the candidate in my mind is senior brother Xia Yu! The female teacher has not yet decided on other roles.
, just give it to the people in our class."
Liu Hongmei, who was reading the script at this time, said with a smile: "Zeng Li must be playing Lan Feilin." When other teachers heard this, they also laughed.
When Ye Fan saw this, he smiled and said nothing.
Chang Li also smiled and said: "Xia Yu is already the best actor. It's hard to say whether he will act in a TV series. I'll find a chance to ask. You go and settle the director's matter first."
Ye Fan was overjoyed when he heard this. He went to invite him himself, but most likely he wouldn't be able to find him. With Chang Li's help, his chances would be much greater.
However, Ye Fan was still ready to test it out, so he asked: "Teacher Chang, if this is completed, can it be counted as my homework?"
Upon hearing this, all the teachers burst out laughing. Chang Li was also amused by Ye Fan and was still thinking about this matter.
After thinking about it, Chang Li said angrily: "If it were an ordinary person, I would agree, but for you, the requirements should be higher."
"This is your special assignment this year and will not affect your grades. However, you still have to submit one for normal reporting assignments, and the same goes for everyone else."
"I know you want to help them, but even if you hand in the homework, that's putting the cart before the horse. The homework is not the purpose, training you is, so you'd better give up on this idea."
"Okay, I'll hand in an assignment later, and I'll finish the director's business first." After saying that, Ye Fan left a little disappointed.
In fact, Ye Fan's homework has been prepared for a long time. It is a sketch by Shen Teng, but he is not a comedian. Shen Teng will be very natural in this sketch. If he acted in it, it would be a complete black history!
Thinking of this, Ye Fan could only go back and think about what sketch could be more suitable for the topic than this one...
