Huayu 1999: Starting with nothing but getting something for nothing

Fan Bingbing rubbed her forehead, looked up at him sideways, and thought... he seemed even more handsome than when they first met.

"girlfriend?"

Yang Che shook his head: "No."

Fan Bingbing laughed: "Really? I can still smell the vinegar now."

Yang Che didn't respond to that: "Let's go. I hope you can come to the audition on August 2nd."

When Fan Bingbing saw that his expression had calmed down, she felt a sudden panic.

"Yes, definitely."

After walking a few steps, Fan Bingbing spoke again: "Brother Che, I have to film during the day, and in a few days I have to go to 'Happy Camp' and promote 'Little Li Flying Dagger', so I might not have enough time. Could I come over tonight and you help me analyze the role?"

Yang Che shook his head decisively: "I'm going to Nanjing on a business trip soon. You can call Director Cheng."

"Oh, right, I forgot. You also invested in a TV series."

Fan Bingbing recalled what she had overheard at the dinner table and realized that he was not only a screenwriter but also a boss! He must be a boss; how could a high-level employee make such a decision so easily and invest so readily?

The two had already reached the outside of the residential area when they ran into Ning Hao, Cheng Er, Wu Shixian, and Gong Beibi. The others had naturally gone back to rest, as today was their day off... and they couldn't possibly compete with these people to play on the computer.

Fan Bingbing had to swallow back some of what she wanted to say, took the initiative to greet people, and then said goodbye to each other.

She didn't say anything more to Yang Che, because a taxi had already pulled over and called out "Jin Suo'er"...

Yang Che paid special attention to Fan Bingbing's expression. There was nothing unusual about it, and she greeted the driver very warmly.

After getting into the car, she rolled down the window, stretched out her fair arm, and waved with a smile.

After watching the taxi leave, Wu Shixian spoke first: "In terms of appearance and personality, they are indeed a good match."

Yang Che waved his hand and said, "We'll talk about it at the audition. Let's go, you haven't been to the studio yet, let's go take a look."

The crowd fell silent, some even eagerly heading upstairs to enjoy the air conditioning in their rooms.

Back on the third floor, Yang Che greeted Gong Beibi and was about to return to his room to ask Qin Lan for the key, but found that the girl was not in the workroom.

I knocked on the door next door, and sure enough, Qin Lan was there.

"What are you doing?"

"I'll turn on the air conditioner for you and bring in your laundry."

"Thank you."

Yang Che glanced at her, closed the door, thought for a moment, but ultimately said nothing.

Did she reprimand Fan Bingbing for being impolite?

That's certainly right, but that's Fan Bingbing.

In interpersonal relationships, being "coveted" signifies recognition and value, and people also crave to prove their charm by "acquiring" something. The fact that "someone is vying for it" can also activate possessiveness, making people believe that "what is hard to get is the best."

So go ahead and grab it. Even if things get really messy, it'll all be resolved in one fell swoop.

Yang Che returned to the bedroom and saw that the summer quilt, which should have been in the closet, had already been spread out on the bed. Hmm... that's good. So he took off his short-sleeved shirt and lay down.

Qin Lan followed her in without any hesitation and continued collecting the clothes from the balcony.

"Wake me up at 2:30, I need to go to the bank."

"Okay, Che-ge..."

"What?"

"It's okay, you go to sleep. I'll fold your clothes and put them in the living room."

"it is good."

Yang Che turned over, grabbed the blanket, yawned, and closed his eyes.

...........

Before he knew it, it was four o'clock in the afternoon. Yang Che walked out of the bank alone, took out his phone to call Fan Xiaotian, but couldn't get through. He figured Fan Xiaotian was on a plane, so he sent a text message instead.

"Mr. Fan, I have completed the bank transfer. The 200 million is expected to arrive in the production team's account tomorrow morning. Please check your account."

Yes, Yang Che didn't opt ​​for installment payments either. Fan Xiaotian was happy with the terms, so he was happy with the terms as well.

Yang Che thought he would be very happy, and he was indeed very happy.

Why are you alone? It's not like you're withdrawing money, why would you need so many people?

Qin Lan? She went back to her rented room to put on makeup; she's going to karaoke tonight.

........

Yang Che bought an old-fashioned popsicle at a roadside convenience store and happily sipped it. The feeling of finding a bargain was really great!

I had just taken two bites when the phone rang. It was Yu Wenhao calling, and he sounded a little excited.

"Brother Che, I'm at Nokia China. Their requirements are: a minimum box office guarantee of 20 million, and in addition to the 5 close-up scenes we originally planned, their GG logos have to be plastered on the subway."

At this point, Yu Wenhao lowered his voice, but still couldn't hide his excitement, and said, "80, I negotiated 80."

"Holy crap, awesome, awesome!"

Then, Yang Che was so excited that he almost choked on the popsicle and coughed for a while.

"Haha, we're in good shape too. They're releasing a new phone, the 3210, and GG has plenty of budget."

Upon hearing this, Yang Che immediately calmed down and chuckled, "That's because you, Lao Yu, are awesome. With this great start, the rest will be much easier to discuss."

"That's what I think too. Other companies see this and think, 'Nokia is giving so much,' haha..."

"That makes perfect sense. Do they have any other demands?"

Yu Wenhao then explained that, as expected, Nokia's GG department thought the script for "My Sassy Girl" was very promising. So, their biggest requirement, besides the box office needing to reach 2000 million, was that the final film could not deviate too much from the script. They gave them a figure of 83%.

Yang Che asked curiously, "How did you arrive at this 83%?"

Yu Wenhao thought for a moment and said, "I think it's just that these people are showing off and they just came up with a random number."

Yang Che gave a few more instructions about the GG sample video, and then told him to come to Jimen Hotel for dinner to discuss things after he finished, before ending the call.

Yang Che raised an eyebrow, slightly annoyed, but after smiling, he was fine.

Yu Wenhao returned to the conference room excitedly: "President Ding, everything's settled, we can sign the agreement now."

As the authorized representative, Yu Wenhao was naturally qualified to sign the document, and he also held the title of producer of "My Sassy Girl".

The signing is complete.

Manager Ding from Nokia's GG department said, "The 40 yuan will be transferred to your production team's account within three working days after the sample review."

Yu Wenhao shook the other man's hand emotionally: "Although I want to say that you have great courage, Mr. Ding, I want to say thank you even more. Thank you, brother. You have given me great confidence."

Manager Ding smiled and said, "Not at all, I should be thanking you. Your box office bet is fantastic. In today's Chinese market, a movie that grosses 20 million at the box office can generate 200 million in pirated DVDs. So, Mr. Yu, you're brilliant!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Wenhao was stunned as if struck by lightning, forcing a laugh: "Hehe, then it's a pleasure to cooperate!"
