179 Corporate Influence and Film Promotion

Yanjing, inside a middle school in FT District

"Yuanyuan, look, Ye Fan has established a film and television company!"

Gao Yuanyuan took the "Entertainment News" from Jiang Yuan and quickly read it.

"Really, Ye Fan's company is not far from us, maybe we have a chance to see him."

Jiang Yuan smiled and said: "If you keep reading, their company is recruiting actors, so you don't have any ideas?"

After hearing Jiang Yuan's words, Gao Yuanyuan continued to read. Sure enough, she heard news reports that Chaoyang Company was recruiting actors, which made her heart move.

Gao Yuanyuan asked excitedly: "Go and try?"

"I must give it a try. That's Ye Fan. Didn't he tell you that we can cooperate in the future? Maybe this is the opportunity. If you become a star, I will be your agent!"

"Okay! Then let's give it a try. If we succeed, I will definitely let you be my agent!"

After the two of them finished speaking, they looked at each other and smiled, making up their minds one after another...

The entrance of Beijing Film Studio

"Xiao Liu, there really haven't been any good roles recently. Wouldn't it be unfair to let you play a small role?"

Xiao Liu smiled and said: "Brother Zhang, it doesn't matter. I am also willing to play small roles. Is there a crew that needs a director? I can also do behind-the-scenes work!"

Brother Zhang looked at Xiao Liu who was still unwilling to give up, shook his head and sighed: "You are a top student from Beijing Film Academy, it is a pity to play a small role, and you can also work behind the scenes, I suggest you go to Chaoyang Culture Company to try

.”

Xiao Liu perked up after hearing this. He was no longer young. The years and hardships of struggle had left traces of vicissitudes on his face. In addition, his child was also born this year. In order to make money for milk powder, he had to return to Yanjing to look for opportunities.

.

"Brother Zhang, what is the situation of this company? Is it good?"

"The company Ye Fan just established is now looking for actors and crew members. If you know how to do it, why don't you give it a try. I heard that the pay there is much better than that at Beijing Film Studio."

Hearing Ye Fan's name, Xiao Liu became interested and quickly asked Brother Zhang about the details of this company...

Beijing Normal School, Sichuan Province Martial Arts Team... Seeing this news across the country, men and women aspiring to the entertainment industry seemed to see their own opportunities...

In the school of Chinese opera

Ye Fan looked at the big-faced man with a naive smile in front of him, and it was hard to imagine that he was a Mongolian man.

Ye Fan smiled and said: "You just ran to me like this, what will Director Li do?"

"Don't worry, Xiao Fan. It was Director Li who asked me to come here. He mainly shoots TV commercials. There are more opportunities to shoot movies and TV series here."

"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have had so many training opportunities with Director Li. Your company has just opened and it will definitely need manpower to help. How could I be left out!"

Wu Ershan said it so sincerely, and Ye Fan felt very relieved. Although he had not graduated from college, it was not a problem. Wu Ershan had already practiced some levels with Li Geng, so he could use it when he came over!

So Ye Fan nodded and said: "Then you go to Sister Hua to report. For next year's new play, you will be the on-site deputy director and actor coordinator. Are there any problems?"

The on-site assistant director is responsible for coordinating the on-site shooting work of the executive director, and the actor coordinator is responsible for the crew's shooting arrangement plan.

When he heard that he could do these two positions, Wu Ershan's face burst into smiles, and he nodded quickly and said, "It must be no problem, so you can rest assured."

Just kidding, I’ve already been promoted and got two paychecks, so if there are any problems, they should be ok!

After seeing off Wu Ershan, Ye Fan was going to ask for leave from Chang Li. The two movies on Hong Kong Island were about to start promoting, and the premiere of "The Devotion of Suspect X" would be held later. As an investor and actor, he had to be there.

.

Because January 17th is New Year's Eve, he will attend Spring Festival Gala rehearsals in mid-to-late December, and he will have to wait until the first or second day of the Lunar New Year for promotions, so he can only cooperate there in advance.

Fortunately, this semester started, Ye Fan had not asked for leave, and his performance was very good, so he successfully asked for leave from Chang Li.

On December 5th, Friday night, Ye Fan flew to Hong Kong Island with his bodyguards...

Since "Love Is Just One Word" is a film and television soundtrack album, in order to maintain confidentiality before the release of the film and television series, the songs from this album cannot be released first and will not be released until the films and television series are released.

But this doesn't matter to Ye Fan. The advantage of "The Wind Rises" continues. Even though many singers have released songs during this period, most of the mainland charts are dominated by Ye Fan.

Six of Ye Fan's songs are still among the top ten on the Mainland's on-demand charts, which makes the crowd numb and the singer despairing.

As long as no hit song can surpass the gatekeeper "Listen to the Sea" on the on-demand charts, Ye Fan's songs don't have to worry about being threatened.

Except Zhang Xueyou's "Want to Have a Breeze with You"!

In the past three months, this song has reached the third place on the mainland's on-demand charts and is competing with "Blue Lotus" for the second place. The first place is still "The Wind Rises".

But the potential of this song has been exhausted, and the second is its limit. It will be difficult to surpass "The Wind Rises".

On the Wanwan Golden Songs Chart, on the other hand, "The Wind Rises" dropped from the top spot in early October, while "Want to Have a Breeze with You" won the championship.

After the release of Faye Wong's "Faye For Sale" and "Faye Wong", the ranking of "The Wind Rises" has continued to decline. It can be said that the championship of the Golden Songs Chart from October to November is the battle between Faye Wong and Zhang Xueyou.

However, "The Wind Rises" was still able to remain in the top five, and it slowly declined until December. However, it was still able to remain in the top 20, and with the honor of being the champion for 9 weeks, it is a very scary result.

On the other hand, the album "I Want to Blow with You" has a very high sales volume in Hong Kong Island. It has sold 500,000 copies and achieved 10 platinum sales.

But when the number of albums released by Hong Kong Island singers increases, the sales of this album will inevitably be affected. After all, the Hong Kong Island market is so big.

On November 28, Xie Xiaofeng released a new album "Silent Imitating Sound". This album has a total of 6 songs. The quality of the songs is indeed much better than the previous one, and the reputation of the album has been rising.

The title song "Silent Imitation Sound" can be seen as showing Xie Xiaofeng's strength and helped him attract many fans.

However, the sales volume was similar to what Ye Fan expected. The sales volume of this Cantonese album was not very high and was even lower than the previous album.

However, this time it can basically be said to be real data, because with the fierce competition in the Hong Kong music market, making false data can easily lead to investigations and attacks by competitors.

On December 1st, Aaron Kwok released his new album "Sing This Song". This album completely detonated the Hong Kong music scene. The sales and reputation were very good, and many singers were overwhelmed by this album.

At the same time, Bay Bay

Zhang Qingfang released "Flower Rain Night", Zhou Huajian released "Time is Like a Strong", but the biggest dark horse is Power Train's new album "Ruthless Love Letter".

You must know that the first two albums can be said to have destroyed the charts in the Baywan music scene in 1997.

And "Ruthless Love Letter" has sold over 100,000 copies within 5 days of its release. There is no suspense that it will be on the Golden Songs Chart in the second week. It can be said that it shocked many people's jaws and suddenly made a name for itself in the Bay Area music scene.

Bloody road.

When Ye Fan came to Hong Kong Island and heard the news, he smiled slightly.

Let's fight, the more brutal the fight, the better. If the music scene is not lively, how can he come out and give the final say?

On the 6th, Warner Bros. announced the sales of "The Wind Rises" in November. Adding in the few days at the end of October, the album "The Wind Rises" can still sell more than 600,000 copies nationwide, surpassing that of some singers who have just released albums.

It was pressed to death.

What surprised Ye Fan was the overseas sales. Warner also helped compile the overseas sales data. More than 500,000 copies were sold in countries in East and Southeast Asia, and domestic sales reached more than 1.1 million copies.

You must know that "The Wind Rises" has been released for almost five months, and it has such sales overseas. Who knows how many overseas sales it will have in the first month?

The total may be higher than that in China, and the price of foreign albums is more expensive than that in China. This makes Ye Fan's heart bleed. Adding his first two albums, how much money will this cost?

Fortunately, it is not too late to cooperate with Warner, and "good news" continues to come from Bangzi Country. The losses here have been made up for by the "kind-hearted" Bangzi Country.

After putting aside his music career, Ye Fan cooperated with the crews of the two movies to promote the movie, but the focus must be on the movie "That Guy in My Body", after all, he is the starring role in this movie.

In terms of movie interludes, Wong Jing chose "I Just Love You" and Leslie Cheung chose "Too Much" as the interludes of their respective movies. The lyrics and music of these two songs are more in line with part of the plot of their movies.

Ye Fan offered a friendly price of 500,000 Hong Kong dollars for the copyright of a song, which was paid from the promotion fee. He easily got 1 million Hong Kong dollars, which made his cash flow more abundant.

It has to be said that if investors participate in the filming of the film, the filming cost can be saved a lot. After the two films are filmed, the remaining money will be enough to use for preliminary publicity expenses.

During the promotion, Ye Fan saw his influence in Hong Kong Island. He appeared on programs and local promotion activities, and many of his fans came to support him.

Of course, Jet Li, Leslie Cheung and Lin Qingxia have more fans.

Since Ye Fan only took one week's leave, time was tight and he would go back on the weekend of the 14th, so the focus of publicity during this period was on Ye Fan.

Ye Fan was not polite. When he was promoting with Leslie Cheung, he treated himself as the protagonist. When he met many of his fans, he even sang impromptu. He treated the movie promotion event as a fan club to promote the movie.

The effect is even better.

At night, Ye Fan naturally transformed into a master of time management. Today he would accompany Huo Wenxi and tomorrow he would accompany Zhang Yushan. His life was very happy.

Huo Wenxi followed Ye Fan to collect Bangzi's wool. Her assets had increased by half. She was so enthusiastic with Ye Fan at night, and Ye Fan couldn't bear it.

With Ye Fan's support, Zhang Yushan started her own company, but she could no longer afford the small salary from TVB. Except for the few dramas she already had, she no longer accepted any dramas.

If it weren't for Shao Daheng's inability to offend, she would have paid herself liquidated damages. She would quit the entertainment industry and concentrate on running the company as soon as her contract with TVB expired.

As history goes, Zhang Yushan's godfather wanted to introduce her to Boss Sheng, but she politely refused. Are you kidding me? Boss Sheng is 24 years older than her, and Boss Sheng can give her $1 million at will?

With Ye Fan as young as him and rich in money, the focus is on a candidate who is handsome and physically strong. Wouldn’t it be nice to choose Ye Fan?

When Ye Fan heard her talk about these things, he was very satisfied with Zhang Yushan's choice. He rewarded Zhang Yushan both physically and mentally, making her "cry" all over~

On December 14th, Ye Fan embarked on his return journey to Yanjing. He had a lot of promotional schedule and had to "plow the fields" at night, so he was still a little tired.
