Chapter 202 Youtube and Britney
Fan Wumian wins people over with his virtue.
He has a lot of buffs on him, including titles such as "US$3 million box office director", "HK$10 billion rich man", "most popular new generation singer", etc., and it is so comfortable to be in the entertainment industry.
After participating in an interview activity at Shanghai TV Station.
In the evening, the senior management of the station arranged a meal for him, which was local cuisine with more local characteristics.
During the banquet.
Fan Wumian went out to answer the phone.
The accompanying female host stretched out her chopsticks to grab a chicken drumstick, but was immediately stopped by someone next to her, who jokingly reminded her:
"You dare to take Mr. Fan's chicken leg, you are going to die. The director received a call from the higher-ups, asking us to find a way to keep him in Shanghai for two more days. It seems that it involves a large-scale investment promotion project."
The host, who was in his twenties, just continued to pick up a piece of chicken wing and asked curiously:
"Fan Wumian's large-scale investment promotion project? What a magical combination of words. What has he done recently?"
"I'm not sure. The level is too high. I have no way of knowing it. It may be related to real estate. The person who contacted the station director is mainly in charge of these aspects. That's all I know."
Not many people know that Fan Wumian went to Shencheng Bay to inspect land.
However, when it comes to such a large foreign investment project, it is difficult to hide the news from the eyes of those who are interested.
The current situation is that the real estate industry is still in recession. There are large tracts of land to be developed in various cities, but there is a lack of strong investors.
Some local developers can use 10 times leverage when acquiring land, and even the land deposit is borrowed from outside.
With Fan Wumian's net worth, if he could bring in one or two capable partners, in the eyes of others, he would indeed be able to support a large-scale project worth billions.
After all, according to the rules in the mainland, developers only need to pay 20% to 30% themselves, and the rest can be borrowed from the bank. Unlike Hong Kong and cities, they often need to make good plans and prepare funds to meet the rigid requirements for land acquisition.
Although raising the threshold has reduced the risk, it has also kept out developers with insufficient strength, resulting in the real estate market in Hong Kong being almost monopolized by a few giants.
If it weren't for the expansion of the Hong Kong City Convention and Exhibition Center and the land exchange plan, it would have been almost impossible for Zuo Ziyan's family to get such a large piece of land on the top of the mountain with their financial resources.
No matter what.
Fan Wumian has the ability to participate in such a large-scale investment promotion project, and his status in the eyes of many people immediately rises.
With his status as "one of the major shareholders of Penguin" and the fact that he spent a lot of money to acquire Tudou.com, many local entrepreneurs in Shanghai have heard the news and are trying to find him in the hope of obtaining an investment.
There have been continuous actions recently.
The news that a "Dragon Stone" jade pigeon egg was purchased at a sky-high price and used as a prop in "Crazy Stone" has been released.
Kuangxian Media is also taking advantage of his and Zuo Ziyan's popularity to promote "You Are the Apple of My Eye" in advance.
Coupled with the press release that the legitimate album "Sleepless Night" had just been released and sales had exceeded 700 million copies, the outside world was in an uproar.
Fan Wumian, who was at the center of the vortex, was very carefree. He even had time to start writing the outlines of the movie scripts for "Lost on Journey" and "Crazy Racing".
He does not plan to shoot either of these two films himself, but will throw it to others after writing it. He is currently working with a total of thirty to forty screenwriters, and is busy preparing scripts for "My Love from the Star", the Korean version of "City Hunter", and "The Lonely and Great God".
Fan Wumian wants to take advantage of the popularity of "A Quiet Place" and shoot more works that are popular in Hollywood in the next two years. He has already started racking his brains to find some low-cost works, such as "A Quiet Place" and "The Tuner" produced in India, as well as the European movie "The Invisible Guest" with many twists and turns.
That was enough to keep him busy for a long time.
The reason why I left the private room to make a phone call was because Britney Spears, who was far away in the United States, suddenly called me.
Fan Wumian's English level was only passable at best. He tried to choose simple words and asked, "If I'm not mistaken, it's still morning over there? Are you in trouble again?"
really.
Britney's voice, sounding like she had just finished crying, replied:
"Yes, I didn't sleep all night. Yesterday my father asked me to have dinner with him and wanted me to sign an agreement to try to manage my property."
"I want to thank you. You reminded me to find some Chinese girlfriends before, and I actually chose to do that. They helped me investigate and found out that the man I like is a jerk. Last night, they also advised me not to sign a contract with my father, and even asked me not to pay any bills for my parents anymore."
"They are very good and always give me a lot of advice. I think I need to thank you."
In March this year.
Britney Spears went to London in a high-profile manner with lots of luggage, but she only lived there for less than a month and moved back to Hollywood because she couldn't adapt to the local living environment.
Fan Wumian had advised her to spend more time with her Chinese besties, and it seemed like she took his advice to heart. Not only did she get a Chinese-American assistant, but she also had two Chinese girls as her personal bodyguards.
They usually help with housework and act as her "think tank" when something happens. Britney Spears understands that she is unable to handle many things in life, family and relationships, and becomes more and more dependent on them.
For the Chinese girls who can be divided into six or seven small groups in a dormitory, they are the most professional when it comes to the ability to make trouble.
After listening to this, Fan Wumian managed to hold back his laughter and said, "It's okay. You should learn how to control and enjoy your life. You just called me. Can I ask you for a favor? I invested in a website called Youtube. You can shoot some videos and share them on this website. Maybe it will help your career."
Britney Spears' voice came:
"Of course, the computer is right next to me, so what should I do?"
“Search Youtube, if you see a video of me singing, then you’ve found the right one.”
Far away in America.
Britney Spears, wearing her sexy low-rise Spice Girl shorts, gets out of bed and grabs her laptop.
After opening the Youtube website, the first thing I saw was the pinned video of Fan Wumian holding a guitar. The number of views has exceeded 142 million+ and the number of comments has exceeded 3000+.
Since its launch in April, with the increasing content on the platform and the continued attraction of a number of celebrities, the Youtube video website has quickly become popular among young people.
With great curiosity, Britney Spears played the video first. It was a song "Jar Of Love" which she played and sang by herself. There was no accompaniment, and the song was supported solely by Fan Wumian's voice, which made her feel it sounded particularly good.
Look down to the comments section.
One user commented: "As an Asian, he is really handsome. I noticed Fan when I watched A Quiet Place. I didn't expect that he can sing so well. No wonder he is called a genius."
There is a comment below, saying
——“Why is this always the first video I see when I open the website? Did they pay for the advertisement, or is there a bug in the program?”
Someone answered below
——"Because he invested $50 in Youtube in the angel round, and relevant information can be found in the news. The conclusion is obviously that this development team is trying to suck up to the investors, but this song is indeed the type I like."
Then slide down.
Some people simply left a comment of “Cool!”, while others commented that it was hard to imagine that Fan Wumian was good at so many things at the same time.
It is said that foreign monks are better at chanting sutras, and this saying applies everywhere.
Many girls are tired of the handsome Hollywood stars and begin to feel that Fan Wumian is more "exotic".
While looking forward to him recording a complete version of the song, a white girl listed his achievements and mentioned that Miramax Films has decided to shoot "A Quiet Place 2".
A good movie is a good movie.
There may be only a few films released throughout the year, but with the professional vision of the agent distributor, they can accurately pick out the works when they come across them, and it is rare that a gem is covered in dust.
In February, some people were mocking Miramax for spending a huge sum of money to buy the ultra-low-budget film "A Quiet Place" from someone else.
Now that the movie has finished its screening and the film company has earned hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue, everyone has fallen silent and started praising Fan Wumian crazily, and mocking Hollywood film companies for standing still and knowing that they will be finished sooner or later.
Britney Spears was also very happy to see that Fan Wumian had gained a lot of fans.
She was feeling down at first, but after watching a few funny videos that were viewed a lot, she instantly fell in love with this rather simple website and didn't stop until she became really sleepy.
I originally wanted to just shoot a video to promote YouTube.
However, when she looked in the mirror, she found that her hair was disheveled and she was not wearing any makeup. She looked really terrible.
I simply went to bed to catch up on some sleep, still thinking in my head that there are idiots who would accidentally burn down their own house because of filming a video. People really laugh when they are speechless.
The charm of Youtube now is more exaggerated than the short videos on mobile phones in the future.
Because many people have never been exposed to online short videos before, they find many new things very novel.
For example, there is a New York user who sells second-hand luxury cars. He shoots videos every day to introduce various luxury cars. He has closed several deals through Youtube and can even be recognized by some people when he goes to bars, which lowers the threshold for picking up girls.
Britney slept for more than 9 hours.
It was already dark when she got up. She remembered what she had promised Fan Wumian, so she took a shower and put on makeup.
Since he didn't know what to shoot, he tried to cover the song "Jar Of Love" and also shot some of his own collections, including old clothes he wore while working at Disney.
Several videos were posted online that night.
When she became famous, the Internet was not yet so developed, but Britney's posters, magazines, and albums were everywhere. She was worshipped and imitated by young Americans and almost dominated the memories of a generation of young Americans.
The influence is beyond words.
Soon after the video was released, it attracted the attention of some Youtube users, especially the link of her cover of "Jar Of Love", which was quickly shared and circulated.
