Chapter 130: Money in your pocket, no worries

After separating from my best friends.

The cool breeze from the street made Fan Wumian even more drunk and he took the elevator back to his apartment.

I was so sleepy at first, but after taking a shower I was no longer sleepy.

So I went to the study first, sat in front of the computer to surf the Internet to kill time, and drank a cup of yogurt to suppress the smell of alcohol.

recent.

In order not to be affected by the outside world and delay the filming of "A Quiet Place", Fan Wumian has been refraining from watching the news reports.

Smartphones had not yet appeared, so there was no temptation for users to go online at any time and anywhere, so it was easier to disconnect from the Internet and go into seclusion.

Type your name in the Baidu search box and a bunch of search results will load quickly.

There are news about the art exams shot at the gate of Beijing Film Academy yesterday, as well as paparazzi photos of the crew of "A Quiet Place" at work.

In many forums, a post about the "Mic Master" mobile phone ringtone was reposted crazily.

A knowledgeable netizen analyzed the data released by telecom operators and tabulated how much money Fan Wumian could earn this time, and concluded that it was at least 1200 million RMB.

An old post from last week.

There must be more than this amount now. As for how much money he can get, Fan Wumian himself is not quite sure for the time being.

Anyway, among the top 20 ringtone sales lists on China Mobile's official website, 8 of them are his songs.

The operators are still helping with advertising.

Compared with previous days, sales growth momentum has slowed down, but is still quite strong.

Many ringtone users not only buy one of his songs, but also have 3 yuan deducted from their phone bills every time they change the ringtone download.

According to the 1-5 profit sharing agreement, Bandit King Media will get yuan.

Today, there are approximately 2600 million ringback tone users in the mainland, while the total number of mobile phone users is as high as over 3 million, so the market potential is enormous.

If these ringtones of his are kept at the top of the best-selling list for a long time and play a role in publicity and promotion, they will have the opportunity to bring in a steady stream of revenue, and he may even be able to reap the benefits for three to five years.

Yesterday morning.

When Fan Wumian was being interviewed by reporters at the gate of Beijing Film Academy, he also said that it would be great if the sales volume of mobile phone ringtones could be displayed in real time.

The telecommunications operator responded today, saying that they are currently researching the new feature and that it should be available online soon.

Pick out news and forum posts that interest you.

There are many voices praising him, but there are also many netizens who are busy criticizing him, being jealous of him, and being jealous of him.

Fan Wumian was extremely calm about this.

Since you have chosen to be a celebrity, you must be mentally prepared in advance on how to face these trolls online.

Some time ago, he made a lot of money by wholesale albums and taking endorsements, and he also made a lot of money by taking advantage of the mobile phone ringtone trend.

Since October last year.

The total income since he became famous has exceeded 4000 million RMB.

This figure may be more than Jay Chou’s entire income last year.

After all, although Jay Chou's concerts and advertising endorsements make money, he has to share the profits with the record company and the management company, while Fan Wumian works for himself and it is all his profit no matter how much he earns.

Don't worry if you have money in your pocket.

Even if some black fans mocked him, saying "How dare you be so bold as to direct and act in the film yourself", or "You don't even take the movie emperor Huang Xieqiu seriously, you are so arrogant".

At this moment, he also felt particularly indifferent.

It's absolutely impossible to please everyone. I'm too lazy to care too much about these guys and can just ignore them.

I closed the browser and checked my email again.

I found an email from the bank indicating that the royalties for last month's "Emperor of the Wilderness" had arrived, a total of more than 7 yuan.

That evening, Mingrong International Music Company also transferred 149 million Hong Kong dollars into his personal account.

Stunned for a moment.

Fan Wumian said to himself, "They didn't even call me, but they transferred the money directly to me. It's really cool!"

HK$149 million was remitted.

Based on the commission of HK$3 per record, the album "That Girl" has sold a total of approximately 49 copies in markets outside the mainland.

Because there is no publicity and promotion cost.

Fan Wumian felt that Boss Zhao Mingrong should earn more than him this time.

When I release an album next time, if I continue to work with Boss Zhao, I obviously can't sign a contract with such a low profit-sharing ratio.

As for the serialized novels published in Huiwen Daily.

After practicing writing for such a long time, he has become more and more proficient in typing out the plot. It is also good as a hobby and a way to relieve stress. He does not plan to end the story early.

Look at it from another angle.

Fan Wumian feels that women account for too large a proportion of his fans.

If I can win the favor of some male fans with this book, The Emperor of Desolate Heaven, which has become popular in mainland China, the indirect benefits it brings may be far greater than the remuneration itself. There is still one week left for the winter vacation.

the next morning.

Fan Wumian was awakened by Zuo Ziyan.

After a quick packing, they ate the sandwiches she brought for breakfast, then the two of them went to the underground parking lot to take a car to the temporarily rented film editing studio.

Assistant director Lu Hao and his team were busy until after 2 a.m. yesterday, and the editing work went smoothly.

In addition, Fan Wumian liked to edit while shooting, and had already edited some of the shots. After a busy day, Lu Hao and his team completed the rough cut, so they could start re-editing today.

Honestly.

Zuo Ziyan wasn’t quite sure what Fan Wumian was busy with, but she thought he looked particularly handsome when he was working seriously.

She spent the morning in the film editing studio.

I also took the opportunity to watch this movie which lacked many special effects shots. My heart was often in my throat, but as the scene changed, it jumped to other plots, which made Zuo Ziyan feel very uncomfortable.

He found that he was totally unable to help, and Fan Wumian really didn't have time to deal with him, so staying would only cause trouble.

Miss Zuo simply went home early to accompany her mother to dye her hair
----------------

Two days passed in a flash.

During this period, Fan Wumian did not go home. When he was tired, he just found a place to stay.

Apart from signing a contract with the representative of Penguin Holdings' Hong Kong City branch to sell the five-year online copyright of 11 songs, the rest of the time was spent running between the editing studio and the special effects studio.

At noon on February 2th.

Assistant Director Lu Hao was eating his lunch box, looking up at Fan Wumian who was sitting opposite him, and asked:
"The remaining special effects shots will take two days to be delivered. I'll watch them here this afternoon. Why don't you go home and get some sleep? It will be easier to achieve perfection if you clear your mind before watching them. Otherwise, you'll easily get stuck in a rut and cause problems."

Standing at the end of the film era, Fan Wumian seemed to be a layman.

When he first entered the industry in his previous life, digital photography technology had already blossomed, and film editing no longer required the various equipment used today, so there was no need to use scissors to process film.

Now it is more complicated.

Not only do we have to cut out the extra shots, but we also have to add in the occasional film that shows nude scenes, which adds a lot of extra work.

The editing work is divided into four steps: rough cutting, re-cutting, fine cutting and final cutting. To put it in a more figurative way, it is actually similar to a haircut.

Fan Wumian didn't want his "own son project" to be ruined by others.

These two days he was mainly in charge of directing, and asked several professional editors in the studio to help.

Fortunately, he knows exactly what final effect he wants, and never drags his feet. He also doesn't require the editors to use their own brains; they just have to follow his instructions, which results in extremely fast editing efficiency.

With Fan Wumian in charge, the hair was recut and combed, and the fine cutting work was almost completed.

In the end, there were only some special effects shots left to be completed. Once the final editing was done, the rest would just be some post-production.

Fan Wumian was eating pork chop rice with braised chicken legs as an extra side dish, and he replied with a smile:
"I'm in good shape. I wrote the script myself, so I didn't have to think too much about it. My assistant has already booked my flight tickets. I may not be able to make it to the opening day of the Berlin Film Festival, but it's okay to go a day or two later."

"Just now I was thinking, I seem to have forgotten to design the corporate title. Do you know anyone in the mainland who does animation?"

"You can add some money, and it'd be best to make one as soon as possible, otherwise it will always feel a little lacking."

Lu Hao is still young. Because he has been too busy recently, a pimple appeared on his nose, and the entire tip of his nose is red.

After listening to this, he thought for a while and replied:

"I'm not familiar with it, but I can probably find it by making a few phone calls to my friends. However, time is tight, and I don't think it will be very good even if it is made."

Fan Wumian shook his head and said with a smile:
"It doesn't matter. We're just sending it to an exhibition for promotion. If there's a chance for it to be officially released, we can change it then."

"I've thought about it. I plan to design a one-eyed bandit. It would be best if he looked cute, with his head poking out like in the game, and then he would jump up and chop something with his axe, revealing the name and logo of Bandit King Media."

"It should take two days to make a short animation of more than ten seconds using a computer. Can you please help me ask for the price?"

Ma Yingjie agreed and couldn't help but said with a smile: "The name of this film company is really simple and easy to remember."

This time, it invested in "A Quiet Place" through Bandit King Media.

It is not a subsidiary in the mainland responsible for the ringback tone business, but a headquarters registered in Hong Kong.

In just three or four months.

Fan Wumian's total net worth has already reached "half a small goal".

This further gave rise to his ambition to continue to grow bigger and stronger, and to use the money he had and was about to receive in the most appropriate place.

The company registered with Bandit King Media (Hongcheng) finally came in handy. In addition to investing in film and television dramas, Fan Wumian also planned to set up a separate variety show department.

He himself does not have the time and energy to deal with variety shows, but he can hire people to form a team and grab the market from South Korea in advance.

I have been displeased with the little Koreans for a long time.

Recently, Hong Kong TV stations are broadcasting "Dae Jang Geum". Fan Wumian shook his head while watching it. He knew that a wave of "Korean Wave" sweeping across the Chinese-speaking world would soon come with great force.

Even if he only considered it from the perspective of profit, he felt that he should give it a try and develop into a diversified film and television entertainment company.

With so many good ideas in his head, Fan Wumian certainly couldn't finish shooting them all by himself. Now that he had money to invest, it would be a waste not to use them.

Companies like Huayi Brothers and Kuangxian Media have only been in business for a few years.

Having been a screw for so long in his previous life, Fan Wumian also wanted to try the feeling of turning over and becoming a boss.
