"Lu Fan, I won't beat around the bush. I specially rushed over this time to invite you to be the male lead of the movie I'm currently filming. The theme is food and culture. To put it simply, you're the owner of a food stall. Every night, different customers will come to your place. Through the food and these customers, you can see all kinds of people in the world.”
"Why does this sound like a late-night canteen? Didn't the yellow lightning already get shot?”
" Yes, Huang Lei did shoot a movie before, but he did it in the style of Japan. The izakaya and the Japanese style of the storefront were completely modeled after Japan. There were a lot of complaints online, and the rating of the Midnight Cafeteria was as low as 2 points. The netizens commented that it was a bad movie, and most of the netizens thought that this was not the food culture of China at all! China's late-night canteen should be a late-night food stall where three to five friends gather to eat skewers and drink beer. Such a down-to-earth style!”
Seeing that Lu Fan did not refute, Hou Hongliang continued,""I've seen the video of you stir-frying crayfish. Your cooking technique is completely down-to-earth. It's the style of our late-night food stall in China! That's why I want to invite you to be the male lead."
"As far as I know, the chefs of Chinese food stalls are all middle-aged uncles with fat bodies and unkempt beards who like to tell dirty jokes. Are you saying that my image is very similar to that kind of uncle?!”Lu Fan frowned.
"No, no, no!" Hou Hongliang hurriedly explained," To be honest, your image is completely like the male lead of an idol drama. It's very suitable for those idol dramas with food as the theme, and you're the youngest and most handsome chef. However, these TV dramas are all over the market. I think if the youngest and most handsome chef of a food stall comes out, coupled with the celebrity guests invited to be customers every episode, wouldn't it be refreshing for the audience?”
Lu Fan thought about it. At the moment, there really wasn't a TV series with the style Hou Hongliang mentioned. Moreover, with Huang Lei's failure, many netizens suggested that they would rather watch a food TV series that was down-to-earth like the late-night food stalls. Some netizens even said that they hoped that a director could shoot this style because only with this style could they truly feel the food and life of China. It was also an opportunity.
Seeing that Lu Fan didn't refuse, Hou Hongliang continued to say his thoughts,""This time, we plan to broadcast the entire filming live online. We will film from the opening of the restaurant to the closing of the restaurant every night.”
"Live broadcast?" Lu Fan suddenly thought of something." Wait for me!”
Lu Fan stood up and walked into the bathroom.
"System! Let me ask! Do I only need to earn gold coins from the livestream? It doesn't matter what streaming software it is."
"Yes, I am! As long as he could earn gold coins through the livestream! It didn't matter what software it was! Nowadays, a lot of video broadcasts were like this. They had registered accounts on various live streaming software.”
“OK!”Lu Fan immediately stood up and walked out.
"I agree to the filming!" Lu Fan said.
"Really?" Hou Hongliang was excited." That's great!”
"But I have a condition…"
"The pay won't disappoint you!" Hou Hongliang said.
"No, it's not pay! It's a live broadcast!" Lu Fan said," Are you working with a video website or a live broadcast website?”
" Of course, we'll be working with the most popular Yingke Live Streaming website. We'll register an account with the name 'Late Night Food Stall'. We'll do one episode per week from early spring to the end of the year. We'll give you a fixed salary, and the money earned from the gifts you give during the live broadcast will be split between the producer and Yingke according to the ratio.”
"I have no objections to working with Ying Ke!" Lu Fan said," But you have to use my account! The money earned from the gifts would be split according to Ying Ke's previous ratio! As for how you and Ying Ke will split the profits, it's not within my consideration!”
" But..." Hou Hongliang frowned," Ying Ke's ratio is 5:5. According to this ratio, you alone will take half!”
"So what?" Lu Fan sneered." According to your train of thought, you're just borrowing my fame and cooking skills to make money while the live-streaming software is very popular! To be honest, there are more and more people asking me to do a live broadcast to show off my culinary skills. I might as well say this. Even if you didn't come to me to cooperate, the money I earned from doing a live broadcast in Yingke wouldn't be less than the money I earned from cooperating with you. In that case, why should I let another person split the money?”
Hou Hongliang was stunned when he heard this. It had to be said that Lu Fan did have a business mind. He mercilessly exposed the producer's investment idea and cleverly avoided the producer as a bridge to do it alone! With his strength, he would definitely succeed!
"Your only advantage now is that you have connections with celebrities in the entertainment industry! They could invite any celebrity to be their guest! However, even without celebrities, I can still do my live broadcast as usual. At most, I won't be able to hire an A-list celebrity to increase my popularity, but the gifts my fans have given me are enough for me to buy a house in the Third Ring Road! Not to mention, there was an extremely high pay and the commission he would get after the confession balloon went online! Believe it or not, any song I write now can earn me tens of millions!”
Lu Fan picked up his coffee and took a sip. He said slowly," It's because of the men's persuasion that I gave you face and cooperated with you. If you don't agree to my conditions, then..." Lu Fan stood up and pointed at the door." Please!"”
" This..." Hou Hongliang did not want to miss this opportunity. Lu Fan was right. He had the ability to start a live broadcast and make his own food show. If it was not for Hou Hongliang's wide network in the entertainment industry, he could get an A-list celebrity to make a guest appearance to increase his popularity. Lu Fan probably would not even give him a chance to discuss it!
Therefore, the success of this cooperation did not depend on Hou Hongliang, but on Lu Fan's willingness!
Therefore, Hou Hongliang gritted his teeth and said,"Alright! I agree to your conditions, but I also need Yingke Company's approval.”
"Please!" Lu Fan pointed at the door.
After Hou Hongliang left, Lu Fan revealed a cold smile. Ying Ke wouldn't reject it because this was a good opportunity to make Ying Ke even more famous! Lu Fan was the lead actor, Hou Hongliang was the producer, and all the big stars were guest stars. In addition, there were sponsors 'advertisements! Even if Ying Ke, Hou Hongliang, and the investors split the remaining 50%, they would still make a fortune!
As for Lu Fan, in the end, he did not do it for the sake of making money! Just like he said, he could casually write a song and live a carefree life just by relying on the commission. The reason why he offered such conditions was completely to get a live broadcast spot! The more live broadcast points he had, the better and higher the skills he could exchange for!
