Chapter 128 The Golden “Penguin”

I've been crazy busy lately.

Fan Wumian temporarily handed over the rough editing work to the team headed by assistant director Lu Hao.

The next day after returning to Hong Kong City.

He gave himself a vacation, planning to adjust himself before editing the entire film in one go.

In order to save money, the special effects used are relatively simple.

Most of the shots involving special effects production had already been shot and edited in advance and sent to the studio set up by New Zealand's Weta Digital Special Effects Company in Hong Kong. A group of overseas Chinese employees did the work very efficiently.

This year.

Given the market size of the Chinese-language film industry, it is difficult for film and television companies to make a fortune.

Mainland audiences' favorites are still comedies, local commercial blockbusters, and Hollywood movies.

A low-budget science fiction thriller that relies on its story setting as its highlight. There are only about twenty lines in the whole play, and most of them require you to prick up your ears to hear clearly.

Movies like this are almost synonymous with "box office flop".

If we don't find a way to save it, it would be a miracle if the movie could do well at the box office, and it would be hard to attract audiences to the cinema.

So Fan Wumian always felt that.

If you want to maximize the profits of "A Quiet Place", you still have to look to the international market, try to find a reliable agent and distributor to cooperate with, experience the joy of earning US dollars, and by the way, take the "international gilding" route that is currently the favorite of mainland directors.

The reason why I chose to shoot this movie first is, first, I wanted to practice and get a feel for it, and second, the cost of trial and error is relatively low.

Including the G55-AMG that is still in Shenzhen and has just been registered.

This time, he took on more than ten product placements, with a total amount of more than 240 million. This means that before "A Quiet Place" was released, Fan Wumian had already started making money. He used the money sponsored by advertisers to successfully make this movie.

This can also be seen from this.

With his sudden popularity in the last two or three months, brands are very optimistic about Fan Wumian.

Even though he knew that as a newcomer, his self-directed and self-acted works would easily flop, he was still willing to spend money to give it a try.

In order to catch up with this year's Berlin Film Festival, the original one-month shooting plan was compressed into just 18 days.

I can’t completely relax yet, but I’m obviously feeling a lot more relaxed.

last night.

Fan Wumian hugged the fragrant Zhuang Muxi and fell asleep holding Da Lei in his hand.

I woke up in the morning and saw no one.

After asking, I found out that she was really worried about being seen by others, so she went back to her room after waking up in the early morning.

As the heroine, she was in the director's room late at night. If this news got out, it would be too shocking.

Zhuang Muxi is thin-skinned.

If she used "talking about the script" as an excuse, even she herself wouldn't believe it.
Give yourself a day off today.

Fan Wumian returned to Tsim Sha Tsui, lazily lay on the sofa in the apartment, and chatted about a bunch of trivial matters with his agent Jiang Shixi.

In addition to shooting new endorsement ads and arranging transactions for Siheyuan, I also heard that Huizhou TV's variety show "Super Winner" wanted to invite me to be a guest.

Fan Wumian felt that the program "Super Winner" was so distant and unfamiliar that he seemed to have watched it when he was a child in his previous life.

I replied that I was willing to participate, but I definitely couldn't spare the time in the next month, so I would need to make other arrangements.

I lay there for more than two hours and then fell into a sleep in a daze.

Fan Wumian plans to put the two courtyard houses in Yanjing under the name of his personal studio and use the money earned from advertising endorsements to purchase real estate.

until evening.

Zuo Ziyan finally rushed back from the UK and brought him a red double-decker bus model as a gift, plus a belt whose brand she didn't recognize but whose price tag was as high as £1199.

He motioned to his girlfriend to wait for a moment.

Fan Wumian walked into the kitchen and took out an ice cream cake from the refrigerator.

This made Zuo Ziyan very happy. After blowing out the candles and making a wish, she tried on the necklace he gave her and said:
"I thought you forgot that today is my birthday. You've been so busy lately, filming and taking exams. Thank you for preparing a surprise for me."

"Indeed, I almost forgot. I have to go to the crew tomorrow and I don't think I will have much time to spend with you in the next few days."

Sitting cross-legged next to Fan Wumian.

Zuo Ziyan played with the necklace on her neck with her fingers and changed the subject:

"Do you think I should go to Cambridge?"

"Ok?"

"I spent more than half a month in the UK this time, due to the interview and the vacation with my parents. In the past, I should have been very happy. I also received the admission notice from Cambridge University in advance."

Looking at him with a sad face, Zuo Ziyan continued:
"We used to go on vacation every year, but what's different is that now I always think of you. If you want to study in Cambridge, I can transfer to the UK to study for a foundation course after the winter vacation. Then it will be difficult for us to see each other again."

"."

I thought.

She would not start studying at Cambridge University until the new semester started in the second half of the year. When she heard that she could go to the UK to adapt to the university courses after the winter vacation, Fan Wumian suddenly found that she was reluctant to leave.

Silence for a few seconds.

He said slowly:
"Now that I have received an admission notice from Cambridge in advance, it is indeed a waste of time to stay in Trinity College to study."

"If I persuade you to stay, you will definitely feel uncomfortable. Even if you don't care now, one quiet night in the future, you will suddenly think about what life would be like if you went to study there."

"Anyway, I'm very busy. I might be busy recording songs or filming some TV dramas. We can take a dozen hours off to fly and meet. It won't be too much trouble. Everything will work out when the time comes."

I was worried that I would be unhappy.

After listening to him, Zuo Ziyan was moved and told him: "You are so kind, this makes me feel even worse."

".That's not necessary. This has been decided long ago. I'm already prepared."

Thinking about what happened last night, Fan Wumian felt a little guilty as he was dizzy from the big white rabbit jumping left and right.

Zuo Ziyan continued:

"I have checked the map, and we can find some convenient places to meet each other."

"For example, Moscow takes about seven hours for me to fly from London, and it will also take more than seven hours if you fly from Yanjing. This way we can also visit many different cities, such as Dubai, Greece, Turkey, India, and Egypt. I really want to go there."

"Sometimes you can come to visit me in the UK. If I have time, I will also go to Yanjing to see you. Plus, during the winter and summer vacations, we will have more opportunities to meet."

After listening.

Fan Wumian felt even more guilty.

Judging from Zuo Ziyan's expression, it was obvious that she wanted to try hard to save their relationship, so as to avoid being dragged down by the long-distance relationship and exhausting the passion between them. She was ready to fight a protracted battle.

He put his arm around his girlfriend's shoulders and said:

"This is great. I like traveling, but you definitely can't go to India because it's too chaotic. Some software now allows video chats, and a semester ends quickly when you're really busy. For example, I've recently been releasing an album and filming a movie, and I'll have to continue traveling far away."

Miss Zuo put her head on his shoulder and said with a smile:

"You're not the same as before. I'm more worried that you'll be seduced by someone else. Those actresses and models are all very powerful. Several of my dad's friends' original wives were squeezed out by them."

Fan Wumian joked and comforted:
"Even if you go to those art schools, you will still be the school beauty. Don't worry, even if they get me, they can't get my heart."

"???"

Zuo Ziyan smiled and said:
"Be careful or I'll cut you with my pair of scissors. Actually, I'm also considering going to Yenching University, but my Chinese is a little poor and I'm worried that I'll have trouble in class. I haven't made up my mind yet, so I'll go visit Yenching University when I have time."

".That's not bad. The house I bought is very big, and you can come visit me often."

"Oh, by the way, I wanted to ask you before, why are you obsessed with buying houses everywhere?"

Hear the words.

Fan Wumian spread his hands and said:

"I have no choice. The celebrity industry is not stable enough, and I am working alone. I need to solve my worries first before I can let go and do what I like. While the income is high and the house prices are low, I will borrow money from the bank to buy a few houses. At least I won't starve to death in the future."

"It's not just about buying a house. I discussed with the accounting firm this afternoon and they will transfer some money to my personal account soon. Then I will open a financial management account and buy about HK$800 million of Penguin shares. Some of the money will be left in the company account and wasted."

“QQ chat software just launched the Personal Space feature the day before yesterday. I am optimistic about its development.”

Zuo Ziyan said:
"I know about Penguin shares. My friend bought them and made a lot of money. When they were first listed two years ago, the issue price was more than 3 yuan per share. Later, it rose to about 5 yuan. I don't know what the current share price is."

Because they are young, their blood recovers faster.

Fan Wumian stood up, took Zuo Ziyan's hand, walked towards the master bedroom, and then said:

"It's easy for new players who just learned to play mahjong to win money. You know the protection period for new players, right? Last night I dreamed of a penguin with golden lights and holding gold ingots. I've decided to buy it. Do you want to buy some too?"

"Me? The annualized rate of return of the trust under my name is about 12%. I advise you not to be too impulsive and think about it carefully."

It’s not that she has bad taste.

Recently, technology oligarchs in Silicon Valley in the United States have begun to layout the mainland market.

Recently, investors are worried that the mainland's local Internet industry will be completely crushed by these Silicon Valley oligarchs and will be left without any chance of fighting back.

It was because Zuo Ziyan often paid attention to financial and economic news and was familiar with the news that she felt a little worried about Fan Wumian's decision.

It was obviously her birthday.

After getting high.

Zuo Ziyan almost packaged herself as a gift, but was completely eaten up by Fan Wumian.

Unfortunately, her mother suddenly called, which instantly calmed Miss Zuo down. She hurriedly put on her clothes and went home for dinner.

Before leaving, she didn't forget to glare at him, blaming him for being so good at flirting and making it impossible to guard against him.

As for Fan Wumian.

After having dinner at the shopping mall downstairs, I also took some time to go to the cinema and rewatch Stephen Chow's "Kung Fu" alone.

While watching the movie, I received a text message from Ji Qiao.

I was surprised to learn that Penguin Music actually took the initiative to propose cooperation, hoping to obtain the online broadcast authorization for the album "That Girl" and "Mic Master".

The price was very high, 100 million RMB, and the requirement was exclusive copyright for 5 years.
