Chapter 65: As if Missing Something

As a pure wild new singer.

Being able to gain a certain amount of attention online with just two songs is actually considered a small hit.

Without capital support, it is inevitable that there will be a lack of successors. After all, having been in the circle for so many years, Fan Wumian can certainly see this clearly.

Many so-called second-tier and third-tier artists’ status plummets after leaving the agencies they signed with, and they can even only take on small, low-profile roles.

This is also the reason why, whether in the music or film industry, only top stars who have truly made a name for themselves will consider breaking away from the constraints of capital and starting their own business.

If I had chosen to sign a contract with King Records at that time.

Maybe with the help of this wave of "small fire" and the hype of two new songs, he can not only make his debut smoothly, but also be given a title like "Hong Kong genius singer", gain a group of fans and initially gain a foothold.

However, he neither chose to sign a contract nor had the ability to pay out of his own pocket to follow up, resulting in him not even having a name in many posts and news articles. Most people referred to him as "Hongcheng High School Student", which was completely no different from "Street Guy".

After returning home that night.

Fan Wumian continued to search for relevant information on the Internet, and he felt more and more that since he wanted to suffer first and then enjoy the sweetness, it was the right step to work hard to make money, otherwise he would probably be unable to make any progress in the future.

Because the film and television industry involves more interests, from some perspectives, it is more difficult to get into the music industry than in the music industry.

It has been just over a month since the accident.

It's true that I took a little detour, but I started from scratch and worked steadily. My situation is already countless times better than it was a month ago. I'm not tied down by a contract and haven't become anyone's cash cow.

Making money for yourself and making money for your bosses are two completely different things.

As he was about to shoot the music video for the QQ chat software, Fan Wumian had a clear feeling that his own wave of success would come soon.

By the time.

The first solo album, Penguin's advertising MV, mobile phone ringtones and "Mai Ba" were all released together.

If this doesn't make me famous, I might as well prepare to marry into Zuo Ziyan's family.
Sitting at the desk, browsing the forum with the mouse.

Silly Old Fan knocked on the door, and without waiting for Fan Wumian to respond, he poked his head in and asked:
"Son, I received a letter from you today. I thought it was an advertisement from some company, so I opened it for you. Why does it say that you applied to register a company?"

Fan Wumian just stretched out his hand and asked, "Where is the letter? Even if I lose everything and end up homeless, I won't drag you down, don't worry."

"Wow~ What kind of words are these? Am I still a human being if I can only watch my son end up on the streets?"

Silly old Fan sat beside his bed and handed the letter to Fan Wumian, then asked:
"Tell me more specifically, what kind of business is this company doing? I've been very busy lately. Son, you've made it big now. After all, I've traveled a lot for decades, so I can help you with some advice."

Fan Wumian was quite speechless.

I guessed that he was probably here for the sake of money, so I said:
"I don't care about your pension money, and you don't care about me either. It's just a music company. I've already spent all the money from the competition prize money."

Silly old Fan became smart now:

"I don't believe you. You've been taking taxis all the time these days. Are you willing to take a taxi if you really don't have money? The meter ticks so fast that it gives me a heart attack. I usually walk."

Recently.

Fan Wumian was so busy that he was overwhelmed and had no time to spare.

Especially small workshops in the mainland need manpower to help monitor key links such as production, procurement, warehousing, and sales.

But silly old Fan has always had a very erratic personality. Wouldn't asking him for help be like inviting a wolf into the house?
then.

Decisively giving up the idea of ​​hiring him to work, Fan Wumian took out another 200 yuan from his pocket and said, "If you have nothing to do, go out and find a place to take a bath. I'm busy."

"If you don't show your filial piety now, be careful that I will give birth to a younger brother for you, and then I will divide your family property."

That being said.

Silly Old Fan took the money quickly and put it into his pocket.

The first to register was "Mountain Bandit King Media". Fan Wumian, who was busy reading the contents of the letter, did not even raise his head when he heard the words, and only replied:

"When you get drunk next time, I'll send you to the hospital to get sterilized. I'll see how you can give me a brother. Besides, even if you want to have a baby, which woman would dare to agree? After marrying into our family, she will have to make money to support you."

Silly Old Fan: “???”

In the next few minutes, I listened to Silly Old Fan complaining a lot.

Fan Wumian just found out that the crew he worked for had not paid his salary for a long time, and he had bad luck playing mahjong recently, so he really had no money to eat.

The golden age of Hong Kong's film and television industry has passed, and the entire market is falling into a depressed winter. Even the market share in the Chinese music scene has been divided up and eroded by Taiwan, South Korea and other places. The relevant practitioners are definitely having a hard time.

Many local people are not used to smoking flavored cigarettes, so some tobacco brands from the mainland are also selling well in Hong Kong.

When I saw the cigarette box in Silly Old Fan’s chest pocket, I found that it had changed from Furongwang to cheaper Hongshuangxi.

Fan Wumian finally believed him and offered to pay for the family's water, electricity, television and property fees in the future.

He also promised to help order a month's worth of meals from the restaurant, in order to prevent Silly Old Fan from fainting from hunger and causing the news to spread and affect his future.

This is not about being cruel to my own father.

From another perspective, since the current situation has not forced his father to sell the house and use his pension early, it means that the situation is still within controllable range.

Their family had been on the verge of running out of food and clothing for a long time, but they still managed to get through it. It was all silly old Fan's own fault.

Fan Wumian didn't forget.

Compared to silly old Fan who owns properties worth millions, he himself is a poor man.

For this atypical father-son relationship, only by dividing it as clearly as possible can we avoid falling into a state of internal friction.

Ever since he started treating Silly Old Fan as his "roommate", Fan Wumian has become much more relaxed and comfortable.
------------

July 10nd.

Fan Wumian recorded his first album in advance.

After discussing with several music producers from Sapphire Studios, he officially named the album "That Girl".

During the recording period, the copyrights of these songs were applied for one after another in preparation for the release of the album.

He will send these sample songs to Mingrong International Music Company as soon as possible.

Boss Zhao Mingrong also asked about the copyright registration, worried that Fan Wumian would suffer due to his young age and inexperience.

Originally, I was just doing a favor for a friend and it didn't matter what I did.

After listening to ten songs in a row, Boss Zhao and several other record company employees were all in shock.

Especially boss Zhao Mingrong.

In the dark.

He felt as if he had missed something...

There are some things that need to be prepared, so there is no rush to produce and stock up in the small workshop. Fan Wumian has other things to do.

At noon on the 8th.

He left Boss Zhao, took a taxi and rushed to Penguin Holdings' Hong Kong City branch to hold a pre-production meeting with the MV crew.

A group of people arrived at the meeting room.

But no matter how long he waited, the little star who played the leading female role never showed up.

The director of the film crew personally called to urge them.

I unexpectedly learned that an actress named Mou Biwen had accompanied a boss to the neighboring Australia City to play cards to discuss filming.

Facing the director who suddenly got angry.

She only said that the reward was tens of thousands of yuan, which was not even as much as one chip she had. In the end, she said lightly that if you are willing to wait, then you can shoot, and if you are not willing, then forget it.

Fan Wumian is all too familiar with this situation.

He was glad that he became the leading actor and finally he didn't have to worry about dealing with these troublesome things.
