Chapter 211: Catching a Fat Sheep

Chapter 211 Catching a Fat Sheep
It was just an open-air birthday party with eight songs in total, which was like a small free concert.

It also includes two new songs, "Naked" and "Exaggerated".

After singing.

Fan Wumian felt like he was about to rip Eason Chan bald.

I thought that if Eason Chen lacked other representative works in the future and failed to become famous, I would give him more opportunities to film as compensation.

Just change it to someone you don’t know.

During the singing competition, Eason Chan once spoke up for justice, but now he is trying to get him killed. Isn't this just repaying kindness with enmity?

But no way.

Apart from some classic old songs, Fan Wumian doesn’t know many Cantonese songs, so he can only try his best to grab a familiar fat sheep.

He watched "The Psychonauts" which was released at the beginning of the year in his own private cinema.

Eason Chan's acting is average, there's nothing wrong with it, and as long as the roles aren't too demanding on his acting skills, it's good enough.

Although "After I Leave" was bought by Eason Chen, it has become one of the must-listen sad love songs in mainland China after people break up.

Unfortunately, the sales of the new album are still mediocre, with only a few hundred thousand copies sold in total in both sides of the Taiwan Strait and Hong Kong and Macau. It has not yet escaped the shadow, and recently there have even been reports that the contract with King Records will be terminated.

"Ten Years" is only a popular song in mainland China and is often sold in pirated collections. Few fans will specifically buy his album.

In most personal albums, apart from a few title songs, the rest are just to make up the numbers.

Shanzhai albums are quite sneaky, as they only include popular songs and combine them into one album. Even if they are discovered, there is no way to sue for compensation. At the same time, it also helps to increase sales.

Don’t ask how Fan Wumian knew this, he himself was badly cheated by this trick used by the copycat den.

Some counterfeit dens even changed the album titles to "Sleepless Night", "Little King's Collection of Songs", etc., and sold them openly in music and video stores.

After all, it was "Sleepless Night" that was infringed, what does "Sleepless Night" have to do with it?

Actually.

Compared to betraying Eason Chen, Jay Chou's loss is actually the most serious.

Fan Wumian suddenly became popular, with his two albums each one better than the last. He has become a leader among the new generation of singers, snatching the path to success that originally belonged to Jay Chou.

After all, he is more handsome, speaks more clearly, and is better at publicity and marketing.

If you look at the small shops outside schools in mainland China, you will find that posters, stationery, decorations, etc. printed with Fan Wumian’s photos sell dozens of times more than Jay Chou.

Those little girls are just innocent, not stupid.

Now everyone knows that Fan Wumian is not only handsome and talented, but also a domineering president.

Some fans didn't come today.

I heard from my friends how lively the party was. I regretted it so much that I almost broke my thigh and couldn't wait to rush to the Cultural Center Square.

Unfortunately, most people live far away from Tsim Sha Tsui, so they are destined to see it in vain.

After Fan Wumian finished singing and cutting the cake, he found a universal excuse of "preparing for a new drama" and left early.

Just after leaving the event site, Fan Wumian took a car to the Fuhao Hotel Fortune.

I made an appointment with a few close friends in advance and ordered a 12-pound large grouper. The fish was made into four different dishes, namely steamed grouper with chicken sauce, oil and salt, braised fish head, boiled fish fillet and fish ball and wild mushroom soup.

When Fan Wumian arrived at the box, the waiter was just serving the food.

Youpiao joked:
"A wealthy man with a net worth of 10 billion, living in Repulse Bay, is so stylish. Thanks to the King of Heaven for broadening my horizons, I finally know what a rich man's canteen looks like. A table of food costs at least 5000 yuan."

I had previously invited editor Shangjia Chang to come over for a meal, and the two of us spent quite a bit of money.

Fan Wumian replied calmly:

"If you keep talking like that, I won't treat you next time, lest I treat you to a meal out of kindness and end up making myself feel embarrassed."

Mantis quickly tried to smooth things over and said:

"Don't worry about the fat. We were all poor before, but his wonton shop was the only one that had good business and was relatively wealthy. I still remember him boasting that the bird's nest stuffed with bamboo fungus that cost hundreds of dollars a bowl was simply the best in the world, and he often ate a feast behind our backs."

The fourth old meat dish also said:

"Yes, thanks to my big brother for helping us get rich. I made 6 yuan from filming on the set and working as a security guard in the factory. My dad was grinning from ear to ear and he hasn't beaten me for a month. He even praises me for my success whenever he meets someone."

He was so angry that he rolled his eyes and said:

"Wow, you are all flatterers. It was you who said it first. Now it's hard to see the king brother again."

When they meet, they often talk about money, and it is obvious that they care about it.

Fan Wumian has signed many artists, but he never thought of signing with these bad friends, mainly because he was worried that it would change the relationship. For example, Zhuang Muxi.

She often felt embarrassed to let her best friend Xu Xin do this and that, and she always had to take her along when going out to eat or shopping, which added a lot of expenses.

Even when she went to the crew of "Huo Yuanjia" to film, she paid out of her own pocket to book a room in a five-star hotel for her best friend, blurring the line between "assistant" and "friend".

As Zhuang Muxi was making tons of money filming and taking on endorsements, it was inevitable that her former best friend Xu Xin would have some other thoughts.

After all, it is easy to become unbalanced mentally when going from an equal friendship to a little assistant doing odd jobs for Zhuang Muxi. Even if a salary far exceeds the market price is offered, it seems like showing off.

Therefore, Fan Wumian privately suggested to Zhuang Muxi that it would be best to change an assistant while going to study in the mainland. If she failed to get into university, she could help Xu Xin find another job.

Everyone's circumstances are different. If the gap between each other is too great, spending all day together will lead to alienation.

As someone who has been through this before, Fan Wumian certainly doesn't want to fall into this kind of trap, and he always carefully keeps a sense of proportion.

I am afraid that my brothers are having a hard life, but I am also afraid that my brothers are driving a Land Rover. This is indeed the truth.

There has already been a huge gap between me and my best friends. If we want to continue to maintain our friendship, we need to work together to maintain it.

I found a chair and sat down. Today’s meal was considered my birthday dinner.

Fan Wumian said carelessly:

"I was at an event just now, and so many beautiful girls were crying and making a fuss, saying that they liked me. I didn't accompany them, but came here to treat you to a meal. I'm already very loyal."

"I've been too busy lately. Those Years hasn't been completed yet, and a new movie is about to start filming. If a reporter comes to interview you after the movie is released, don't say anything nonsense, especially about what happened between Miss Zuo and me."

"Bamboo fungus brewed bird's nest, right? I'll give each of you a bowl later to shut your mouths."

The old bird king said nothing, then suddenly nodded and said:
"That's right. Even if the media called you a 'girl killer', you still lost to Miss Zuo. Even when filming the movie, you didn't dare to imagine that the two of them were really together. In the end, you stupidly went to her wedding."

".Just shut up."

Fan Wumian had a headache and added:
"I'm afraid of these gossips, so I'm telling you in advance. Maybe a random word from me will make me a laughing stock in the media for a long time."

The mantis nodded and said:

"Before, you were exposed to have long hair in your photo, and you said you wanted to be a gangster. You are obviously very handsome. I don't understand why so many people laughed at you."

It was in the news so often that Fan Wumian began to feel numb.

The price of maintaining extremely high exposure includes the digging up of many of the dark histories of the "predecessors". Fortunately, although I was a middle school student in the past, I was not stupid. They were all trivial matters that were not serious and were just for everyone to watch.

On weekdays, when best friends get together, they mainly eat and drink.

Tonight was no exception. After chatting about the recent situation, the old bird king made small talk and looked at Fan Wumian and said:
"Brother, you are making a lot of money now, and the news says you are investing in projects everywhere. My cousin is also starting a business, and he wants me to help him make some connections and invite you to dinner, but to be honest, I don't like him very much. He usually doesn't pay attention to me as his cousin, and he is only polite when he needs something from me."

Fan Wumian asked, "What industry did he start?"

"I worked at Yingke Telecom before, but later I quit with my friend and wooed a few investors to go to Cambodia to make PHS. My cousin said that many people there don't have mobile phones and can't afford the phone bills. When I was a kid, I went to his house and he was hiding in his room playing with his new toys. He wouldn't even let me touch them. I will remember this grudge for the rest of my life."

The Xiaolingtong system first became popular in Hong Kong, Japan and other places, and was then introduced to the mainland. It is now very popular.

After Old Five Bird King finished speaking, he added:
"Oh, he also invested in an Internet company before. My mom mentioned it. I think it was a browser company, but he lost hundreds of thousands of dollars in the end."

Fan Wumian picked up his chopsticks and ate the boiled fish fillet, saying:
"The communication industry is developing very fast. Xiaolingtong may be eliminated in a few years. If you don't have enough strength, it is easy to fall back into poverty if you force yourself to start a business. I dare to invest in projects everywhere because I can make money from filming and singing."

Speaking of browsers.

Fan Wumian naturally thought that Penguin Group would also engage in browser business in the future, but it had no plans in this regard at present.

Penguin has developed many projects to build its own Internet ecosystem, while another giant, Alibaba, is buying everywhere.

What impressed him most were the acquisition of VC Browser for several billion dollars and the acquisition of the food delivery platform Ele.cn for 600 billion, which showed how wealthy they were.

but.

Due to the butterfly effect, many things have now been changed by Fan Wumian.

He is not sure whether these projects will appear again, and does not dare to have too high expectations. He just wants to quietly watch Penguin stocks and have fun in the entertainment industry.

After listening to this, Mantis smiled and said:
"If Tian Wang Ge is not interested, then I have a good reason to refuse. Have you paid attention to the Hong Kong City School Beauty Contest held by Huiwen Daily? There are several school beauties who are so stunning and beautiful!"

With a thought in his mind, Fan Wumian asked:
"Which contestant do you like the most? The registration deadline is approaching, and it seems that we can start voting online from tomorrow. I submit articles to Huiwen Daily, and I occasionally pay attention to the content in the newspaper."

Mantis said decisively:

"Need I ask? Of course I have to vote for Zuo Ziyan, after all, she is my sister-in-law!"

"???"

Fan Wumian raised his eyebrows and asked:
"She was mentioned in the newspaper? Didn't Yan already graduate? Is she still eligible to participate in the competition?"
