Acquiring digital rights or something.

It is a straight hook fishing method, and the key is to catch the one who is willing to take the bait.

In the following days, Fan Wumian was mainly busy shooting the album MV.

The content and plots were very simple. Sometimes I just played the guitar, posed on the streets and took a walk. I also bought some ready-made MVs to make up the number.

Over at Hong Kong City Bandit King Media.

We spent several days discussing and working out a more detailed plan, and then submitted it to him as a report.

After reading it, Fan Wumian gave some new suggestions.

For example, when negotiating with some medium to large film and television companies, it is easier to get some high-quality resources by taking everything into account, regardless of whether it is good or bad.

Take a company called "Hairun Film and Television" in Yanjing, for example. It owns the digital copyrights of more than 30 TV series.

If Fan Wumian wanted to buy the copyrights of popular TV series such as "Little Soldier Zhang Ga", "Criminal Investigation Team 6", "Drawing Sword", etc., and offered 500,000 or 600,000 RMB, the other party might not be willing to sell it.

But if they pack everything up and offer a price of 200 million RMB at once, it would be very attractive in the eyes of the boss of this company, which is equivalent to the net profit from making a TV series.

Nowadays, it is difficult for TV series to make much money after the popularity has passed.

During the first and second rounds of broadcasts, the TV station might earn tens of thousands of yuan for each episode. However, after the popularity has passed and the show is rebroadcast after a period of time, it might only make two or three thousand yuan per episode.

Fan Wumian only wants the online copyright.

In the eyes of many bosses, this thing is dispensable.

At least from the current perspective, it is almost like picking up some free extra money, and it does not interfere with their normal operations.

In Yanjing and Dongguan areas alone, four large film and television companies were signed at once, with a total of 88 TV series and 16 movies. The news spread quickly, and more and more people came to ask for prices.

It is estimated that the first batch of 400 million US dollars will be burned out soon.

Fan Wumian squeezed out another 2000 million RMB from the income from mobile phone ringtone dividends to temporarily meet the emergency needs.

"A Quiet Place" has been gradually taken off the shelves, and the box office revenue will begin to be shared in two or three months. Mobile phone ringtones are still being sold, and the second solo album will soon begin mass production.

He still has relatively enough money, so he doesn't feel too much pressure.

On Youtube.

There is a white young founder who took a few short videos of himself lasting a few minutes and uploaded them to the Youtube platform.

A few days have passed, but there is still no sign of improvement and the number of users is very small.

The 50 US dollars of angel round financing invested by Fan Wumian has not been fully used up yet. The partners are promoting the company in various schools. They want to wait until they have accumulated some users and have content on the platform, and then set aside a small budget for advertising.

As for Tudou.com, it is still being suppressed by Fan Wumian for the time being. Due to the lack of competitors in the market, there is no need to rush in the short term.

Since he wanted to purchase online digital copyrights from TV stations and audio-visual companies, he did not want to expose his ambitions too early and arouse the vigilance of potential competitors.

Dramas like "Little Soldier Zhang Ga" and "Iron Teeth and Bronze Teeth Ji Xiaolan" seem particularly old to Fan Wumian.

But it is still new in this era.

Many netizens used to follow TV series, and if they missed something, they missed it, and it was inevitable that the viewing would be intermittent.

At least in the next 5 to 10 years, we can still rely on them to attract traffic and bring many users to the platform.
4 month 25 number.

Before going to Shanghai to participate in the filming of the movie "Huo Yuanjia", Zhuang Muxi came to Repulse Bay again to have an in-depth exchange with Fan Wumian.

now.

The two of them took a bath in the jacuzzi.

Zhuang Muxi played with the bubbles in her hands and said:
"You've been so busy lately, with all kinds of things going on every day. I've been watching TV and surfing the Internet at home all day, and I'm starting to miss going back to school. When will you start filming your movie? I may be busy for half a month on Huo Yuanjia."

Fan Wumian smiled and said:
"I'm ready to start filming at any time. I'm waiting for two mainland actors who brought in money to apply for work visas. It will probably take two or three days. In addition to letting Sister Lian follow you, your best friend Xu Xin is also serving as your assistant. Be careful when you go to the crew. If you need to offend someone, it's actually not a big deal. I'll support you."

"You are too beautiful. It's easy for people to notice you. You must be careful when you go out."

"But to put it bluntly, the circle is complicated, but it's nothing more than using resources and benefits to coerce and bribe others. For things like dinner parties, don't attend them if you can, and you must bring people with you."

Sister Lian’s name is Xu Wenlian. She is the agent that Fan Wumian found for Zhuang Muxi. She used to work at TBV TV station.

As for Zhuang Muxi's assistant, she herself recommended her best friend Xu Xin to help out temporarily, as if she was working part-time during the holidays.

Since they are all looking for jobs in Hong Kong cities, the salary and benefits are relatively high.

The bonus amount that Fan Wumian gave to Jiang Shixi and Pu Jiajing even exceeded their annual salary, so it was not considered unfair.

The last time the crew of "Huo Yuanjia" took the initiative to find Zhuang Muxi, he felt that this was an opportunity to show his face.

However, this girl was going out for the first time without her parents.

Due to the complexity of the circle, Fan Wumian couldn't help but feel a little worried. He was afraid that Zhuang Muxi was too friendly and weak, and that she would be bullied and suffer losses if she was not careful.

Zhuang Muxi nodded and replied with a smile:
"I only go out to film and I don't go out for social events or dinners. My parents have reminded me of this when I'm at home, such as not drinking alcohol when I'm out, not drinking anything given to me by others, etc."

Fan Wumian turned on the massage function of the bathtub again and said:
"Yes, your current status is not low. If the producer changes the script temporarily or makes other requests, just let Sister Lian negotiate for you. At worst, don't shoot."

Having been in the industry for many years and having come across all kinds of tricks, he suggested hiring a female bodyguard to be on the safe side. Zhuang Muxi felt good because she clearly discovered that he actually cared about her.

So then.

The water in the jacuzzi was splashing and shaking extremely violently.

----------------

Both Shanzeiwang Media and Fan Wumian's personal studio have recruited new employees in the past one or two months.

Yao girl culture remains the same.

After the album "That Girl" was released, manager Shi Zhongzhi took a long break until half a month ago when he became as energetic as if he had been injected with chicken blood and couldn't wait to get busy.

Fan Wumian handed over the construction of the closed factory building to Lan Li, who was more reliable.

She followed the instructions and rented a warehouse with high walls in Anbao District of Shenzhen City. She also installed cameras, fences, baffles, etc. to ensure that nothing was missed.

Several DVD production companies that we had worked with before, disdaining the hassle, disassembled their equipment, moved it into a temporarily rented warehouse, and purchased a large number of raw materials for album production in advance.

The album has not started production yet, but security guards can already be seen busy rehearsing. They patrol the hospital in groups of three, and a total of more than 20 security guards are employed.

There are notices on the wall.

It states that if employees who secretly take albums out of the production workshop are reported and caught, they will be given a cash reward of 3000 yuan. After successfully completing the stocking, each employee will be rewarded 1500 yuan, etc.

I was lucky that my first album was not targeted by counterfeiters.

This new album has not yet been released, but countless copycat dens are already gearing up, waiting to snatch food from Fan Wumian's bowl.

After summarizing some lessons learned.

This time, Fan Wumian made a big fuss, but after much thought, he still felt that other than adopting a "fully enclosed" production and stocking method, other methods were not safe enough.

In order to avoid the joke of pirated albums appearing on the market before the genuine albums are released, they seize the opportunity to make a fortune.

He did not hesitate to spend money in advance to build such a closed factory.

There is a wall outside, and a ten-meter-high net inside, surrounding the wall to ensure that no one can throw the album outside the wall.

When production begins, security guards will patrol the area 3 hours a day in teams of three, and set up a special unloading area to separate outsiders from the production and storage areas.

Lan Li was worried that her ideas were not comprehensive enough, so she found two prison guards to act as consultants. While temporarily blocking the sewer entrance, she also planned a safe passage in case of emergencies and made some emergency plans through advance training.

Even the domestic waste produced will be temporarily sealed in containers and processed after production and stocking are completed.

This time.

Fan Wumian plans to stock 800 million albums in the first batch, and the production cost alone will be around 1600 million RMB.

The profits involved might be 30 to 40 million RMB, so there is no need to worry about the embarrassing situation if the news gets out.

Any early release of an album sample could lead to the proliferation of millions of counterfeit albums.

If any loopholes are left, there will definitely be people from the counterfeit dens who will try to bribe the workers and security guards to get Fan Wumian's second album in advance. After all, the profits are too huge.

Last time a den was closed down, tens of thousands of tickets were shipped every day, and hundreds of thousands of net profits were made in just over ten days.

During the same period, the average monthly salary in Shenzhen was only more than 2,000 yuan.

Busy for more than ten days.

Lan Li took the initiative to call Fan Wumian and reported:
"Everything has been arranged at the factory. I used to work at Foxconn, so I know a lot about this. When is Mr. Fan free to come over and check it out?"

at the same time.

Fan Wumian was busy admiring Zhuang Muxi's back. She was wearing tight jeans and her exaggerated waist-to-hip ratio was simply stunning.

Via cell phone.

He said to the bluebird:

"I'll go there tomorrow morning. You can call Manager Shi Zhongzhi and the others over. I'll have some things to explain to them then. Also, find some more people to simulate the production and warehousing processes a few times to see if there are any possible omissions. We can't be careless about production safety issues either."

By then, there will be more than a dozen assembly lines in the entire factory, with hundreds of workers working in two shifts, and the planned daily production capacity will be as high as 30 sheets.

Some large-scale counterfeit dens can ship out 30,000 to 40,000 copies every day with one or two production lines. This number is not excessive.

In the initial stage, CDs are produced first and then packaged.

Due to the need to unify the shipping time, the release date of the second album has been set for one and a half months later, and has not yet been determined.

Lanli smiled and said on the other end of the phone:
"I talked to my dad at home, and he told me that, in fact, with your tax amount, you can negotiate with the higher-ups to arrange more police cars to patrol. Also, my dad knows a manager at Lixun Precision, a company similar to Foxconn. They have set up three layers of security to prevent employees from taking products out. If there is a chance, let them send someone to help us check."

Fan Wumian had a slight impression of this big company. He only remembered that the female boss seemed to have been the richest person.

He said with emotion:

"If I were to produce electronic products, I would directly cooperate with companies like Luxun Precision and Foxconn. There would be no need for me to go through so much trouble. If it's not too much trouble, I'll ask them to give me some advice and I'll pay for it."
