Huayu 1999: Starting with nothing but getting something for nothing

"I'm leaving."

"I send you."

And so, under the watchful eyes of the people, the two walked side by side toward the door.

Fan Bingbing pursed her lips as she watched the two figures disappear, but she also felt that this was in line with the nature of this deity.

Once outside, Yang Che said, "I'm sorry to have troubled you."

"No, you didn't invite any reporters either, did you?"

"There are still some."

"It's good that it's not noisy."

"Old Wang, are you really planning to retire in the next few years?"

"Huh? Just saying... I'd like to... we'll talk about it later, annoying."

Wang Fei's facial expressions changed dramatically with each sentence.

As they spoke, they reached the elevator. Yang Che tentatively asked, "See you tomorrow?"

Wang Fei pursed her lips: "Don't come to my house. Just make a call. I'm leaving."

One advantage of hosting events at five-star hotels is the privacy they offer.

Not only was Wang Fei's trip unknown to anyone, but the celebration banquet for "My Sassy Girl" only became known to people after Fang Baoluo and Zhang Jiayu's articles were published.

But that happened in February.

After the report came out, most people weren't too concerned about why "My Sassy Girl" was so successful in various countries and regions. What they were more concerned about was how much money the "My Sassy Girl" production team made and how much money Fan Bingbing received.

At the time, the reporter pressed Fan Bingbing, who had just finished participating in an event, for more information.

Fan Bingbing said, "It's true, it's all going to be divided. Who gets the most? It's definitely Yang Che, he did the most... I won't reveal how much."

Later, tax officials also contacted Yang Che and Fan Bingbing, saying they had received reports from the public about tax evasion.

Then things got awkward. The movie was still showing in many places, but the money hadn't even reached China Film Group yet, let alone the creators.

Although the false accusation caused a misunderstanding, it taught Little Fatty and the others a lesson.

Her dividend was 62, of which 19 was subject to tax deduction, but that was the proper deduction.

Of course, Huang Haibo's pre-tax income was also 62.

As for Yang Che, he calculated that he would receive a profit share of 285 million, plus a production cost of 378 million and a publicity cost of 210 million, totaling 873 million.

如果算上韩国分帐3100万、版权结余657万、GG尾款185万，VCD版权120万，翻拍82万，那幺杨澈目前在《野蛮女友》的个人收益是5017万。

Thanks to the current tax rate, he will have 4000 million in his pocket.

Of course, movie returns are definitely not as quick as TV series returns, so let's just wait and see.

..........

Returning to the timeline.

Yang Che really liked this kind of celebration banquet. Everyone sat casually, smoking cigars, drinking beer, and chatting about art.

We talked about aesthetics, music, the reasons for the decline of Hong Kong cinema, the future rise of South Korean cinema, and the Chinese film market...

Just like with his friends in Tazhai, Yang Che, the youngest among them, became the center of attention and the "preacher" as they talked.

It's not because he's eloquent, knowledgeable, or charming.

Anyone who knows the future and speaks fluently can become a god.

Because he can always accurately pinpoint the key points.

Of course, this is only possible in this kind of setting. In official circles or open venues, this would be impossible.

People's attention will always be focused on the most powerful people.

For example, when it comes to aesthetics, everyone is quite pessimistic, believing that it will inevitably decline. Most people say that industrialization has led to mass production and the loss of artistic spirit, which will inevitably make art ugly.

Yang Che said, "Some people in China who have the final say have developed color hunger and mega-object hunger because they have been suppressed for too long."

They don't talk about what's most suitable, they talk about what's biggest, they talk about what's most numerous.

There is a Ming Dynasty garden near my university. The architecture is simple and natural, and the mountains, water and trees are pristine. It has its own unique charm in spring, summer, autumn and winter. We often go there to sketch.

One day, a leader casually remarked, "It looks deserted," and so the garden began to become colorful and vibrant, with artificial plastic flowers during the day and colorful lights surrounding the trees at night, making it a dazzling spectacle... just like an increasingly colorful Spring Festival Gala stage.

When form presents itself as orderly and utilitarian, beauty naturally ceases to exist.

Yu Dong, who was present, thought that this was probably the main reason why Yang Che was going against the authorities. He felt uncomfortable, but he couldn't refute it because Yang Che was right. The reason he felt uncomfortable was that, in his mind, Yang Che had always been a very upright person.

After the celebration banquet ended, Yang Che received a pile of business cards.

He was quite happy. After going upstairs and returning to his room, he hugged the charming little chubby boy and sniffed him all over.

The chubby boy giggled and twisted around, as if he was trying to hide, but it seemed more like he was flirting.

When Yang Che smelled the rust, he was first taken aback, then the desire in his eyes receded like the tide.

"Go to sleep."

Little Fatty was very surprised; this was highly illogical.

In the past, she wouldn't have stopped until her wrists and jaw muscles were sore and tired.

"elder brother?"

"Come on, if you're not tired, give me a back rub."

"..."

After a while.

While scratching his back, Fan Bingbing said aggrievedly, "Brother, you won't talk to me if we can't be affectionate."

Yang Che grunted twice.

Fan Bingbing was so angry that she decisively slapped him twice.

Yang Che turned around helplessly: "Are you crazy? I'm almost asleep! How can we have so much to talk about?"

"You don't care about my affairs anymore."

Yang Che sat up abruptly: "If you feel empty, then take fewer commercial gigs. Study the script for 'Wrong Carriage, Right Groom' properly, and don't portray Du Bingyan as an ancient version of Song Xingxing. Hire a coach for your action sequences. I'll call Lao Kou tomorrow and have him find someone. Oh, and your voice... it's been so long since I heard you practice your singing this morning. And you're releasing an album? And English stuff..."

Fan Bingbing quickly snuggled up to him, her face full of flattery: "Brother, I was wrong, I was wrong, I'll try harder tomorrow..."

Yang Che opened his mouth, but didn't say anything more. He then hugged her soft and sweet body and fell asleep.

She has this face, so it doesn't matter what happens to her, especially since she has him. Let her be happy.

The next morning, Fan Bingbing left without even having breakfast. She was flying to Hefei to attend the opening of a shopping mall... Zhou Liren and Li Yue accompanied her.

Yang Che did not contact Wang Fei, but instead accompanied a group of film distributors to the Broadway Center Cinema, since they were all big spenders.

On the way, Yang Che and Fukasawa Kazuo rode in the same car.

He said that "Postmen in the Mountains" is confirmed to be released on April 5th, at which time Liu Ye and Chen Hao will conduct a two-week promotional tour in Japan.

It's also said that "My Sassy Girl" will begin its nationwide release in Japan next month.

"Does Mr. Fukasawa mean that Haibo and Bingbing should go to Japan again?"
