My singer girlfriend is super fierce.

The video of Ye Zhiqiu dunking in the NBA halftime show went viral online.

When the video was sent back to China, many netizens commented that he was "handsome and good at fighting".

After the trip in Los Angeles, Ye Zhiqiu flew from Los Angeles to New York to participate in a talk show.

This was his last event before the announcement of the results of the bulletin board in the second week of November. After the interview, Ye Zhiqiu will rush to Japan without stopping.

The talk show is called "Conan Show", which is somewhat similar to the "Allen Show" he participated in before, and is also one of the most popular talk shows in the United States today.

The host Conan O'Brien is good at incorporating various funny elements into celebrity interviews, making the relaxed atmosphere of the show full of comedy effects and very popular with the audience.

Strictly speaking, Ye Zhiqiu was not the protagonist of this interview.

The show invited a total of two guests. In addition to him, the other one is the film and television superstar Fang Long who is also from China.

At first, the program team planned to invite only Fang Long to do an interview program called "Chinese Superstars in Hollywood", but they were worried that the program content was not rich enough. After all, with Fang Long's household name, the audience already knew him well enough.

In this way, Ye Zhiqiu entered their sight.

This new superstar from China has been very popular recently, and the "Conan Show" program team naturally noticed it.

Moreover, Ye Zhiqiu had a guest appearance in "Transformers", and the role of "passerby martial arts master" was well received, which can be regarded as entering Hollywood.

After receiving the invitation from the "Conan Show" program team, Universal Records was naturally overjoyed and agreed to it after turning down another insignificant event of Ye Zhiqiu.

November 11, American Cable TV New York Studio.

"Brother Fang Long."

Ye Zhiqiu smiled and greeted Fang Long. They met old friends in a foreign land, and at this time, they were old acquaintances.

"Haha!" Fang Long was even more enthusiastic, smiled heartily, patted Ye Zhiqiu on the shoulder and said, "Big star."

"You have made a lot of noise recently, awesome! You have made us Chinese proud!"

Ye Zhiqiu said modestly, "No, your achievements are far behind Brother Fang Long. The blockbusters starring in the 2000s have made hundreds of millions of dollars at the box office. This is the glory of the Chinese."

"You can't say that." Fang Long shook his head and said, "Each era has its own way of playing."

"We knew how to fight and dared to fight back then, and we could always stand out. But if you make me 30 years younger now, I may not be able to do this, because the times are different."

"But you can do it, and do it well! Now it's the world of you young people, I think "Don't pay too much attention to the reports of some online media on you, whether they are praise or criticism, just stick to yourself!"

The two walked towards the backstage lounge. Fang Long used Cantonese and said with emotion: "I entered Hollywood at the age of 35, and I didn't achieve much until I was 37. It took me two years to figure out a truth."

"Here, ability is everything, and box office represents your value and voice. No one tells you to be humble and tolerant. As long as you have the ability, show it to the fullest and let others see it, and then they will respect you."

Ye Zhiqiu nodded slightly and said, "I know, thank you, brother Fang Long."

As the saying goes, listen to others' advice to eat a full meal. This is the heartfelt words of a senior who has been working in Hollywood for many years. Ye Zhiqiu naturally would not take it lightly.

Fang Long laughed and said, "I've been talking a lot. In fact, these are all nonsense to you."

"I saw you perform on the stage and face those interviews in front of the paparazzi. You are much more "arrogant" than I was back then."

Ye Zhiqiu smiled and didn't take it seriously.

"Oh, right." Fang Long suddenly remembered something and said, "Do you remember the Transformers movie you starred in before? I want to apologize to you for making you lose money."

Ye Zhiqiu was stunned and asked in confusion, "What?"

Fang Long explained, "You may not know that after the release of Hollywood movies, the movies will be made into DVDs for rent and sale, which is also an important source of income for the movies."

"Originally, "Transformers" was taken off the shelves, and the disc revenue entered a stable period. But you have been so popular on the Internet recently, and it has driven a large wave of sales of this movie. It is estimated that there are at least several million US dollars. A few days ago, I had a meal with Miles, the director of "Transformers", and that guy laughed like crazy."

Speaking of this, Fang Long sighed and said, "For actors, this part of the disc revenue is also divided. The contract for your guest appearance was signed in a hurry, and I didn't have time to remind you that the division ratio is calculated according to the minimum standard."

"In the long run, this may lose millions of dollars."

After Fang Long's explanation, Ye Zhiqiu finally understood.

Hollywood TVThe calculation of the income sources of actors in movies is relatively complicated. In simple terms, in addition to the normal film remuneration, there is also an income called "copyright dividends", which mainly comes from the subsequent DVD sales, DVD rentals, streaming media and other channels of the movie.

Don't underestimate this "copyright dividend". In Hollywood, there are many actors who have starred in popular works. They can get millions of dollars every year without doing anything just by relying on this "copyright dividend". It can really be called "making money while lying down".

Ye Zhiqiu remembered that the contract he signed with the "Transformers" crew also stipulated the proportion of "copyright dividends", but at that time, the agent and the legal team did not raise any objections to this proportion.

"You can't say that." Ye Zhiqiu said, "If it weren't for your recommendation, Brother Fang Long, I probably wouldn't have had the opportunity to guest-star in the movie "Transformers", let alone share any dividends."

Ye Zhiqiu was very open-minded about this and said, "Besides, I was a complete newcomer in Hollywood at the time and had no works. I guess the other party might not agree to increase the dividend ratio."

Fang Long nodded and said, "It's good that you can think like this."

"Damn! It's different now. You are so popular now. Next time a Hollywood crew invites you to film, the price will not be this high!"

Ye Zhiqiu laughed and nodded in agreement.

One million US dollars is not a small amount, but he really doesn't take it too seriously. It's not money that he has to pay out of his pocket.

As for the future? There shouldn't be this problem.

This time it's just a guest appearance. When he goes to Hollywood as a director, he can get the biggest share of the copyright dividends. Wouldn't it be more attractive?
