Chapter 203: Becoming famous too early is not a good thing
With celebrities promoting the products, the effect is different.
After Britney Spears posted the video, she also promoted it in her own fan forum using her real name and posted a link to the video.
Her fan base is very large, and generally they are relatively young and have a strong acceptance of new things.
The next two days.
The whole thing slowly fermented.
When many netizens followed the link and went to Youtube to watch the video, most of them found it quite interesting as it was their first time to come into contact with this kind of video website.
Some journalists got it wrong.
After watching the video, I thought Britney had quietly released a new song on the Internet and promoted it with great fanfare.
There are also some reporters who, knowing full well that Britney is just singing a cover, pretend to be ignorant and use her fame to get some traffic and popularity.
At worst, we can release another news article afterwards to continue to reverse and clarify the matter.
In this way, I not only consumed two waves of traffic, but also completed the performance appraisal for the next day, avoiding the headache of how to submit the manuscript.
As the leading actor of "A Quiet Place", director and screenwriter, Fan Wumian, who is known as "Asian Genius", is quite famous internationally.
Girls in Asia are generally fascinated by his good looks.
In Europe and the United States, he became famous for his "intelligence" and "talent". After all, he made "the highest-grossing Chinese-language film in the world in history". When promoting and releasing "A Quiet Place" in February and March this year, Fan Wumian was often used as an entry point.
The fact that he composed an English song and Britney covered it made many entertainment reporters feel that it was worth promoting.
A few months ago, some media couldn't wait to dig up the old article about Fan Wumian and Britney Spears hyping up a scandal and having a "tryst" by the hotel swimming pool.
Considering that Britney covered his song and that Fan Wumian is a shareholder of Youtube, people smell gossip.
Journalists covering finance and technology are more focused on the potential of the YouTube platform itself, believing it has the potential to become the next new outlet, just like Facebook which came out last year.
Gossip spread between the two.
Britney's fans are very pleased, thinking that although she may be a bit of an old cow eating young grass, her vision is finally right and she is no longer love-sick.
Fan Wumian’s little fans were all furious.
While secretly admiring her brother for being so amazing that he even had the hope of winning over an international superstar, she was also very unconvinced and thought that Fan Wumian could find a more suitable partner, such as herself.
Since this time.
Zuo Ziyan and Zhuang Muxi, who were often attacked and slandered by Fan Wumian's extreme fans due to their close relationship with him, can finally breathe a sigh of relief under his new explosive scandal offensive.
Early in the morning.
When Zuo Ziyan was talking to Fan Wumian on the phone, she happily told him:
"Because you pursued me for so long and I didn't agree to this, I was scolded badly online, and everyone laughed at me for having no taste. When I was shopping, your fans came up to me and told me that it was too late to regret it now."
"Now, it's all over. People are saying that you and Britney are interacting with each other remotely and that you have a very close relationship in private. You have successfully removed me from the list."
"How does it feel to have an American sweetheart rumored girlfriend?"
"."
Fan Wumian replied helplessly:
"I'm not really familiar with Britney, and I didn't expect her to cover my English song and cause such a big fuss."
"Britney's looks may be more in line with Western aesthetics, which is not my type."
"But thanks to her help, this wave of traffic may be worth millions of dollars in advertising fees. The number of video clicks on the YouTube platform is skyrocketing at a visible speed. The total number of clicks on the video of me playing and singing doubled in two days, and there were tens of thousands more likes. The company's valuation is likely to increase significantly."
Previously.
Since Youtube received $50 in angel round financing from Fan Wumian, the corresponding market valuation price is approximately in the range of $100 million to $150 million.
Co-founder Chen Shijun and others recently announced a valuation of $400 million, hoping to attract the attention of some venture capital institutions in advance.
Because of the commotion caused by Britney, YouTube became a hot topic.
Chen Shijun and Fan Wumian communicated over the phone and reported that a venture capital manager had taken the initiative to visit and conduct research, and had attracted the attention of many Silicon Valley entrepreneurs.
Sometimes becoming famous too early is not a good thing.
The Youtube platform has only been online for more than two months, and has not yet completely widened the gap with its peers.
If other strong competitors break into the same track and get a large amount of financing first, they are likely to catch up and crush Youtube.
It is not yet clear how many new users this round of publicity and exposure will help Youtube attract, but in just 24 hours the day before yesterday, more than 8 new registered users were added.
The video of Fan Wumian singing has seen over one million views.
Since they recruited netizens themselves, the cost of acquiring customers was almost zero, which was a huge profit. In addition, with the help of Fan Wumian's traffic, Youtube has developed tens of thousands of users in Asia, and more than 80% of them are girls.
no way.
Fan Wumian has more female fans, and the gender ratio is seriously unbalanced, while the loyal fans of beautiful female stars are often mostly male.
On the contrary, for those artists who have average looks and don't rely on their looks to make a living, the ratio of male and female fans is relatively balanced.
Zuo Ziyan smiled and said:
"The aesthetics in the United States are a bit special. They like the American sweetheart the most. They are young, beautiful, energetic, sunny, sexy and innocent, like Rachel in Friends."
"Also, I found a map of Shenzhen City on the Internet, printed it out and asked my parents. They both felt that the location was a bit remote and that there was a high level of gambling involved."
"Most other real estate developers in the mainland are busy developing in the city center and in the east. The location you choose may have a better view, but the risk is also quite high. I heard from my father that the two sides are studying the integration of Shenzhen and Hong Kong. If you choose the land in Luohu, even if it is a little smaller, will it be safer?"
The meaning of his words was obviously to point out in a tactful way that Fan Wumian's taste in choosing land was average.
Of course he heard it.
Such a big thing as acquiring land would sooner or later be known to the whole city, and Fan Wumian did not choose to hide it from Zuo Ziyan.
As it involved land transfer fees worth more than 10 billion RMB, Zuo Ziyan was of course cautious, so she went around asking her parents for their opinions.
Through the phone, Fan Wumian said to her:
"Be good, put your heart at ease. I have calculated with my fingers, and that is where I hide."
"You know that other districts have better locations, and others certainly know that, so the land prices naturally go up. I admit that there is an element of gambling, but I am very optimistic about Shencheng Bay. The bigger the wind and waves, the more expensive the fish."
"The local government wanted me to invest and revitalize a large area of surrounding land. They knew that if I developed a commercial real estate project, I would lose all my money in the short term, so they were willing to help me apply for a modification of the land use plan and compensate me with residential land with a 70-year property right at a low price. Otherwise, how would I have the opportunity to develop large villas and high-end sea view residences?"
Hear the words.
Zuo Ziyan was still worried.
Different from Fan Wumian who is daring and hardworking, a rich girl like her, who was born into a wealthy family, has been taught since childhood to proceed step by step and not to make a move until she sees the rabbit, in order to make steady progress.
After all, you have a large family and a great business, and you are already in an invincible position. There is no need for you to risk your life like a barefoot gambler.
Zuo Ziyan kept talking and said:
"I'm afraid that you've never suffered a loss before, so you think that business is that easy. But the land won't run away. At worst, you can sell it at a lower price, or wait patiently for a few more years. The risk is still controllable. You can make your own decision."
"If all else fails, you can always find a richer woman than me, and endure the grievances of being a gigolo for a few years, and then find someone to help you. If something goes wrong with a project with such a large investment amount, I won't be able to save you."
"What is Qianlongdi? Do you want to be the emperor? How come I didn't know you knew these things?"
"Those masters love to be wise after the event. For example, you dug a swimming pool at home some time ago, and then the share price of Penguin Holdings soared. Some people even took advantage of your fame. When you were interviewed by a reporter, they said that you asked someone to help change the feng shui, so you were able to attract wealth and treasure."
After finishing his work in Shanghai, Fan Wumian has returned to Shenzhen.
As for Gangzi's return home in glory, he held a special crosstalk performance by Tianjin Deyun Society.
He planned to ask Xu Zheng to go and praise Deyunshe in front of the reporters, so there was no need for him to go all the way in person.
Xu Zheng has starred in "The Legend of the White Snake", "Li Wei as an Official" series, "Love Across Time and Space", etc., and is quite well-known.
The artists signed by Fan Wumian are all newcomers for now.
Apart from himself, no one else can stand on his own and support Tsunako.
Looking through the recent account books of Yaomei Culture, Fan Wumian said casually:
"To find the dragon and divide the gold, look at the mountains. Each mountain is a barrier. If the barrier is eight layers of danger, how dare you come out if you don't have the Yin-Yang Bagua shape and real skills?"
"Don't worry. I had dinner with the official people last night and discussed some issues. Funding is the least of my worries. YouTube is considering raising its Series A round of financing in advance. With the injection of funds, the development should be faster than it is now. Maybe it can become the second Yahoo?"
“Those Years is not very suitable for Europe and the United States, but it can easily win the markets of Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, the Mainland, Japan, South Korea, and Southeast Asia and make 1 million Hong Kong dollars. A Quiet Place 2 will also start filming next month.”
"."
Zuo Ziyan sneered and said:
"What a weird thing! You must have seen this in a novel. I don't believe you know Feng Shui. So how long are you going to stay in Shenzhen? My parents are planning to go on vacation to Tahiti. They seem to want to spend some time alone together. They actually bought the plane tickets in advance before telling me."
Fan Wumian replied:
"It's only an hour's drive, and I can go back to Hong Kong anytime. Some regular distributors have been restocking these days, such as Xinhua Bookstore, Dangdang.com, and other bookstores. First- and second-tier cities seem to have stricter inspections, and local residents are wealthier. The remaining 1 million albums have almost been sold out recently."
"Wow! Congratulations on making a fortune again. Come back and treat us. Shall we find a place to eat?"
Without letting him worry, Zuo Ziyan added:
"There are too many people out there, so why don't you choose a club to join? For example, the 'Hong Kong City Club' is very good. You can ask the club to contact a famous chef to customize a meal for you. Although the price is more expensive, no one will come to bother you."
Fan Wumian smiled and said:
"Joining a club just to go out for dinner and dates? The membership fee is expensive, and I don't think I need it."
Zuo Ziyan said:
"But applying to join can expand your network and help you encounter new business opportunities. My dad is a member of several clubs."
Fan Wumian replied in a lazy tone:
"I only need to manage my finances in the future. Personal connections don't seem to be of much use to me. Since you want to go out on a date, just go ahead and add some. Maybe you can even get some advertising endorsements."
