Chapter 66 Can I recommend a friend?

To help promote the product.

This time, Penguin Holdings' Hong Kong City branch has put aside a total budget of HK$23 to produce music commercials, which will be released across the Taiwan Straits and Hong Kong.

The MV is just over three minutes long and no big stars have been hired to appear in it, so the budget is more than enough.

The so-called director actually comes from within the advertising company.

Adding up the filming costs, actors' salaries, etc., more than 100,000 Hong Kong dollars is enough. After flipping through a few thin pages of the script, Fan Wumian felt that this business would at least allow the advertising company to earn 70,000 to 80,000 yuan.

The director's name is Le Jili, who is in his thirties. Not only does he have a big face, but he also has a beard. If you say he is in his forties, some people will definitely believe it.

Director Le Jili was so angry that his face turned red after being stood up by the little star named Mou Biwen.

Except for Fan Wumian, the other people in the conference room were all employees of the advertising company.

Director Le spoke without restraint, lowering his voice and saying:
"I'm so disappointed. She's just a small model who got ahead by hooking up with rich men, but she's so arrogant that she doesn't even know her own weight! You guys wait, I'll go talk to her employer. Now it should be considered that she voluntarily breached the contract. My blood pressure is a little high recently, so quickly find someone else to shoot the film, so that she won't faint on the set!"

There was a young man next to him, who immediately said:

"Yes, Mou Biwen was selected by our company. We could have called her in advance to inform her, but she chose to stand her up. Her emotional intelligence is so low that something bad will happen sooner or later. If something scandalous is exposed, it will easily affect this advertisement, and it will be difficult for her to get orders from Penguin Holdings in the future."

Fan Wumian was busy eating melons calmly.

There are countless examples of actors who, after taking on a new role, encounter other better opportunities and choose to temporarily cancel their contracts due to schedule conflicts.

Compared with the opportunity to act in a movie, music commercials and MVs seem to have to take a back seat. QQ chatting is not popular at all in Hong Kong, and many people have no idea how big its influence is.

Fan Wumian is different.

The memory of the future helps him make the best choice. Compared with some trashy movies, he actually attaches more importance to this music commercial MV.

The album named "That Girl" still needs to produce the cover, go into mass production, and plan marketing and promotion. It will probably take about two weeks before it can be officially released.

This time, Penguin Holdings' music commercial MV is equivalent to his official debut stage.

While Director Le was there, he discussed the temporary replacement with the client.

Fan Wumian leaned over to ask the young girl sitting next to him. She was fair-skinned, thin and well-proportioned, but held back by her height. "Who is Mou Biwen? Is she famous?"

The girl seemed a little flustered. She raised her arm to push her glasses up on the bridge of her nose and explained:

"She just became a little famous this year. She was photographed by reporters while modeling at a car show. Then she appeared in several magazines and began to try to enter the film and television industry."

Done.

The girl even opened her laptop and searched for photos of Mou Biwen to show to Fan Wumian. It took more than ten seconds for half of her face to load. The internet speed was so slow that it was despairing.

After seeing what Mou Biwen looked like, he could only say that she was so-so, but she was pretty good, and looked like the kind of gold-digger that rich sponsors liked the most.

Compared with the heroine that Fan Wumian imagined he would partner with, she was far inferior.

After all, the port city has a population of more than seven million.

Logically speaking, there should be no shortage of beauties even if you pick one from 10 girls. However, judging from the Miss Hong Kong and actresses in recent years and in the future, the trend of "aesthetic downgrade" is quite obvious.

Moreover, the aesthetic standards seem to be unstable. Intermittently, some beautiful actors are called ugly, while some ugly actors are praised to the sky. This often makes a group of mainland audiences feel puzzled and it is difficult for them to empathize.

Since it is his debut performance, Fan Wumian certainly hopes to achieve perfection in all aspects.

He was worried about finding another mediocre little star who would hold him back, so he suggested, "Since you're planning to change someone, can I recommend a friend to help?"

"The script has almost no requirements for the heroine's acting skills. I guarantee that she is pretty enough. She is the campus belle of our school. Her appearance fee is not expensive. This way, your advertising company can save some money."

"Oh, by the way, let me introduce myself again. My name is Fan Wumian. My new album is about to be released. My family has opened several small companies."

It's not easy to be a newcomer, so you must not miss any opportunity to promote yourself.

As for opening several "small companies", it is not completely nonsense.

There are three companies in total, namely Shanzeiwang Media, Yaomei Culture, and a private music studio registered in Hong Kong City. However, they have not yet officially started their business. What others think after hearing what they hear is none of Fan Wumian’s business.

Away from home.

You give yourself face.

Crying poor and showing misery often only brings contempt; it is easier to thrive by flattering yourself appropriately.

At this moment.

After hearing Fan Wumian's first two sentences, some employees from the advertising company were thinking, "Why do you recommend it?"
When they heard the last sentence, they immediately felt that Fan Wumian's image became unfathomable.

Especially the little girl sitting next to him, who was already blessed with the innate skill of "handsome guy + 100% favorability", now chimed in:

"I think it's a good idea to find a female student of the same age. The target audience of this advertisement is mainly young people, and it can also save the budget."

Everyone was upset about being stood up, and a temporary replacement had become a consensus.

A male employee from an advertising company asked Fan Wumian:
"Do you have a photo of her? Or call her over now. She must be really beautiful to be liked by a handsome guy like you."

at first.

Fan Wumian wanted to ask Zhuang Muxi for help and take the opportunity to give her a hand.

However, he thought again, this music commercial MV will be seen by Zuo Ziyan sooner or later, and by then wouldn't he be digging a hole and burying himself?
After spending some time together recently.

Even though it was just an underground relationship, it was so pure that they didn't even hold hands.

But the two of them would chat almost every night through their phones or the Internet, and their understanding of each other was slowly deepening.

He felt that Zuo Ziyan had a good personality indeed. She was not at all the wild and arrogant young lady that he had imagined her to be. It was obvious that she had been well educated.

Sometimes, Zuo Ziyan would even deliberately take care of his self-esteem by only choosing cheap restaurants to eat at, or skipping many things that were very sparse and ordinary in her life, and try to find some common topics.

Fan Wumian had seen through it a long time ago.

I also want to remind her that I am not that fragile.

However, he didn't have enough strength, and no matter what he said it would sound like he was bragging, so he just pretended to be completely ignorant.

Obviously, even if she was just trying it out, Zuo Ziyan was still serious about this relationship.

Fan Wumian felt that this way of dating was a bit childish, but he had been enjoying it recently. After a few seconds of hesitation, he finally took out his phone and found Zuo Ziyan's number, and said:

"Wait a moment, I'll ask her if she's interested."
