Chapter 116: 20 RMB
Hong Kong City Fan Sleepless Fan Club.
Its founder and administrator, Ms. Liao Wanjun, has been recruited by Ji Qiao, who is in charge of public relations.
They only gave Liao Wanjun some small gifts such as signed albums, signed hats, signed posters, etc., which made her happy and continued to help for free.
Upon learning that Fan Wumian was going to attend an event at Harbour City Mall tonight, Liao Wanjun immediately gathered everyone in the club to support her idol.
Since becoming famous in the mainland market, news has come in that the legitimate albums have sold over 600 million copies.
The success created a second wave of popularity for Fan Wumian in Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan and Southeast Asia, and his fame skyrocketed.
The album was selling well, he was talented, and he was also a handsome guy. All these factors combined made this punch so powerful that even the traditional record companies and management companies in Hong Kong could not stop it, and he easily broke through their blockade.
The idea of some executives of King Records, EMI Records and other companies to suppress and ignore the situation for a while and then try to sign Fan Wumian was completely unsuccessful.
Every time Yaomei Culture releases the latest sales data, it always attracts crazy follow-up reports from Hong Kong media. The extremely high exposure makes many veteran stars a little jealous.
If you really can't spare the time and energy, there are actually a lot of small activities you can take on recently, and there is no shortage of opportunities to perform and make money.
After returning to Hong Kong City.
This was also Fan Wumian's first public appearance, and many new and old fans responded positively.
New Year's holiday.
There are already many customers in Harbour City Shopping Mall.
In the evening, hundreds of fans flocked in and surrounded the stage.
The person in charge of Benny Lu Company, which planned tonight's event, smiled from ear to ear after seeing the lively scene, thinking that they had made the right choice in choosing the spokesperson this time.
Just helping to promote the platform.
The process is nothing more than praising the sponsor brand, Benelu.
He then sang three songs live, interacted with fans in the audience, and gave them some autographed gifts.
The reporter had already made the contact.
Afterwards, he also asked Fan Wumian to stand next to his human-shaped billboard and take some photos to be used in the press release.
Wait until you finish your work.
A reporter seized the opportunity and suddenly took the microphone to ask:
"How do you feel about your popularity in Japan and South Korea? In recent years, there are very few Hong Kong singers who can make a big splash in Japan and South Korea. It is said that some members of the Tokyo fan club have spontaneously raised money to help you advertise in Ginza. Will you go to Tokyo to participate in activities recently?"
".Am I famous in Japan and Korea?"
The reporter's question really stunned Fan Wumian.
I have been so obsessed with writing the script these days that I have started looking for some crew members and suitable actors in advance. I am also busy with decoration, moving and other things, so I haven't paid much attention to the latest developments.
Fortunately, I reacted quickly.
Knowing that reporters in Hong Kong are difficult to deal with, they might write an article like "Japanese and Korean fans are too sentimental."
Fan Wumian immediately replied:
"I am very touched to see my fans actively promoting me, but I am not a big star yet. I need to keep working hard. As for my schedule, Mingrong International Music Company has arranged a few events for me, but I am preparing for further studies recently, so the specific time has not been determined yet."
I just asked about sales outside the mainland a few days ago.
The album "That Girl" has sold more than 8 copies in Hong Kong, and its sales in Taiwan have exceeded 15 copies. The total sales in Southeast Asian countries is about 12 copies.
This means that the pre-tax income that Fan Wumian could get barely exceeded 100 million Hong Kong dollars.
It is no wonder that in recent years, a group of Chinese pop singers have flocked to the mainland. If they cannot take over the mainland market, it is really not easy to make a fortune these days.
Although counterfeit albums are rampant, due to the huge population base, even if only a very small number of loyal fans support the genuine products, there is still a chance to achieve good sales.
Fan Wumian can also rely on his looks and popularity to get some advertising endorsements.
Many second- and third-tier Hong Kong and Taiwan singers cannot make money from their albums and are unable to gain the favor of sponsors, so they can only make a little money by performing at various events.
The employer gives them a few tens of thousands of yuan, which is enough for them to travel a long way to a small county town, and rely on commercial performances everywhere to support their families.
The market size is there.
As a native of Taiwan, Jay Chou had the best of time, location and people, but his album "Qilixiang" only sold about 30 copies in Taiwan.
Originally, Fan Wumian planned to travel around and advertise his album in neighboring countries and regions.
With his first pot of gold in the true sense, he felt that it was not worth wasting his time, and the benefits it would bring would be less than promoting the small real estate project.
There has been a lot of news during this period.
Fans who were interested in Fan Wumian would have bought the album long ago, so Mr. Zhao, the boss of Mingrong Music, had no intention of urging him to cooperate in the promotion.
After all, even if you personally show up to support the platform, the effect is far less than that of the news media's spontaneous help in publicity.
The reporter then asked:
"There's news in the mainland saying that you bought a multi-million dollar luxury house in Shenzhen to speculate on real estate. Is this true?"
"Yes, I borrowed money from the bank. They are two lakefront villas located next to the Shenzhen Shahe Golf Course. The total construction area is about 9200 square feet, plus more than 1 square feet of front and back gardens. The price is very reasonable. If anyone is interested, they can be my neighbor in the future. There are not many houses left."
Since the developer has given all the benefits, Fan Wumian will of course try his best to help with publicity.
Unlike other wealthy people, he needs to keep a low profile, make his fortune quietly and avoid attracting public anger.
Because the impression of "the noble son from a poor family" he left last time was too deeply rooted in people's minds, a proper display of his strength would be beneficial to improving his own image.
You will find out if you stay in the entertainment industry for a long time.
Although everyone always says that being rich or poor is the same, in reality it is really different. If you are not strong enough, you will be easily treated as a soft persimmon and it will be difficult to be taken seriously. On the other hand.
Ever since the news came out that Fan Wumian bought a house in the golf villa area.
In the mainland, many people have followed suit and bought houses. With widespread news coverage, nearly 20 units were sold at once.
He felt that if he could prove himself to have the ability to sell goods and houses.
In the future, it will be easier to cooperate with other mid- to high-end real estate projects and cooperate with the platform to help with publicity.
It’s not easy to snatch high-end endorsements from other stars, but these days there are plenty of real estate projects in the mainland.
As long as you find the right position, you can earn about ten times even if you just lie at home. It is obviously an excellent way to monetize your fame, and you don’t need to invest any capital yourself.
When I heard that he bought two villas at once, the reporter's expression was sour. He forced a smile and said with emotion: "The house I live in is only 195 square feet in total, not even a fraction of yours. Congratulations."
Fan Wumian replied casually:
"You can sell this house and buy a house in Shenzhen. You will thank me in ten years."
"It's not that easy. Where can I live if I sell this place? I can't commute from Shenzhen to work every day and then take a car for more than an hour to go home every night."
The reporter shook his head.
I didn't think about it at all. I just thought Fan Wumian was fanciful and too young.
There is an old saying that goes "I would rather have a bed in Puxi than a room in Pudong". Nowadays in Hong Kong City, people have similar ideas.
I have no relatives or friends, so of course I am too lazy to give any advice.
After attending the promotional event of Benny Lu Company, assistant Pu Jiajing handed Fan Wumian a bottle of water.
Harbour City is very close to the newly rented apartment, and it only takes a few minutes to walk home.
I got home and changed my clothes.
Fan Wumian came to the study, sat on the leather chair, opened his laptop, and searched for news related to himself.
Sure enough, among a bunch of news, I found an article about fans' spontaneous promotion in Ginza, Tokyo.
A local young girl was interviewed and said that she joined the fan club because she liked his face.
According to the news.
The album sold about 3000 copies in Japan and South Korea, and the number of fans in the fan club exceeded , most of whom liked him rather than his songs, making him a bit like a traffic star.
A few minutes later.
A message pop-up window appears in the lower right corner of the screen, and a crisp "beep" sound is heard.
I saw Zhuang Muxi sent a message saying
——"I wanted to attend your event, but my parents took me to dinner to celebrate our family's move, so I couldn't leave."
Fan Wumian typed back: "Congratulations. Tonight's event is boring, so you don't have to go."
The other side of the screen.
Zhuang Muxi immediately sent a message, telling
——"I said I would practice my acting skills in advance, and my parents have agreed, so what should I prepare now?"
In fact, her parents originally refused.
Because of her popularity as the "Piano Goddess", a more reliable film company wanted to sign Zhuang Muxi to film a movie.
However, because the contract period was too long and the signing fee was not high, and considering that their daughter was young and the entertainment industry was too complicated, her parents considered it over and over again and decided not to agree.
Even the regular film companies rejected her, so her parents certainly didn't want their good daughter to accompany Fan Wumian in fooling around.
However, Zhuang Muxi wanted to give it a try, and used the opportunity to practice her acting skills as an excuse, and finally convinced her parents to agree temporarily.
Fan Wumian didn't know this, and replied:
——"Wait until I finish writing the script, and then I will personally tutor you. Recently, you can watch some Hollywood science fiction movies, preferably ones about disasters and doomsday, to get a feel for it in advance."
Think for a moment.
Thinking that Zhuang Muxi was easier to talk to, but her parents might not be, Fan Wumian added
——"It will probably take about a month to shoot. Since you're an internet celebrity, I'll pay you 20 Hong Kong dollars. Is that ok?"
Zhuang Muxi was startled and quickly replied, "That's too much. I'm just helping you and I don't intend to take your money."
"No, you must take it. I plan to use 200 million to make this movie this time, and I have already allocated part of the budget for actors. Compared with other actresses, this price is very low. I have already taken advantage of you. If I don't take it, my conscience will hurt."
I did take advantage, but it has nothing to do with the film project.
After a while.
Zhuang Muxi typed: "The strawberry marks haven't disappeared yet. I've been hiding from my mom when I change clothes these days, otherwise I'll be doomed."
Fan Wumian finished reading and replied immediately
——"Be good, I'll be gentler next time."
"."
I wanted to reply, “There won’t be a next time.”
But after thinking about it, Zhuang Muxi felt that this statement was too absolute, so he deleted it silently.
I just replied——"How annoying..."
