Chapter 223: What it feels like to be an investor
The several outlines conceived by Director Shang Jing are all quite interesting and suitable for creating a feature film.

The problem is that after the first season of "Wulin Waijia" was edited, it is still in the post-production process.

It has not been broadcast to the public yet, so of course it does not have any audience base. It seems a bit early to consider shooting a feature film now.

but.

Think about it from another perspective.

Just like TV dramas, it’s actually quite good to finish filming early and stockpile the materials, then release them when the time is right.

On the one hand, the cost of shooting is relatively low.

On the other hand, the actors are still in good shape and can now arrange their schedules.

After another three to five years, these actors will develop on their own.

Some of them may have different fates and choose to leave Shanzeiwang Media, or their reputation may have collapsed, which will only make the audience feel disgusted.

It might take some effort to get the original team together by then.

Take Sha Yi for example. He is still relatively sunny and handsome at present. But if he gets fat and plays Bai Zhantang, it will be easy for the audience to lose their sense of empathy.

Thinking that it wouldn't cost much money anyway, and if he kept the money for five years, he could make ten or twenty times the net profit, Fan Wumian made the decision and asked Director Shang Jing and his team to finish the script first.

The director of "Home with Kids" felt a little envious after hearing this, and also asked about the big movie in a roundabout way.

Fan Wumian felt that "Home with Kids" could help him make money, but in terms of its value in being adapted into a movie, it was obviously not as good as the phenomenal sitcom "Wulin Waijia".

So I just pretended to be ignorant even though I knew the truth and changed the subject to other things.

There were three tables in total, and almost everyone came to toast.

soon.

Fan Wumian didn't even drink the beer, he just took the fat otaku happy water as a token of his appreciation.

After eating and drinking, it’s time to leave.

He suddenly remembered something and asked Yang Mi:
"When will the film The Return of the Condor Heroes, which you filmed while you were under contract with your previous company, be aired?"

Yang Mi happened to pay attention to the situation in this regard, and said in a depressed tone:
"We should wait until next year. The pace is so slow. The drama I filmed when I was just in my third year of high school can only be broadcast on TV at the end of my freshman year. School will start in half a month. Will you stay in Yanjing during this time? I can be your tour guide and show you around."

next to.

After listening to this, Liu Shishi remained silent.

Although she is younger than Fan Wumian and Yang Mi, she started studying at Jingwu Academy very early. By the time the new semester started, she was already a senior.

Thinking that she is a classmate, Yang Mi will have the upper hand and will probably get more resources than herself.

then.

Liu Shishi smiled and said:
"I've been free lately. I'm almost done filming for 'Wulin Wai Zhuan', and I don't have many classes in my senior year."

Yang Mi said politely:
"I really envy you. I heard that the military training in the first year of college is very tiring and you will be tanned into a charcoal."

The less famous you are, the more you should fight for every opportunity.

Fan Wumian really enjoyed being an investor, and said with a smile:

"I haven't finished filming my movie yet. I'm just taking a few days off this time. Forget about traveling. When I come to Yanjing to study, there will be plenty of opportunities."

"Besides, the news has already said that I only sign beautiful women. Asking you two to accompany me on a trip could easily add fuel to the fire."

"If someone accuses me of abusing my power for personal gain and using the opportunity to choose a concubine for myself, I won't care. Anyway, a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water. It will be difficult for both of you to clear your reputations."

That being said.

But when I think of those who had been involved in scandals with Fan Wumian, such as Zhuang Muxi and Zuo Ziyan, they are all very famous now.

Neither Yang Mi nor Liu Shishi actually minded hyping up a scandal with him, and they were even a little excited when they thought about it.

Fan Wumian thought the restaurant’s three-stuffed buns were delicious, so he asked the waiter to pack a portion for him to take home for breakfast the next morning.

During the waiting period.

Yao Xingtong, who had dyed her hair brown and permed it into big waves, also found an opportunity to come over and whispered:
"Mr. Fan, do you think I am okay now?"

After looking her up and down, he felt that she looked a bit like a young internet celebrity model, so Fan Wumian said to her:
"Very good. Your acting range has suddenly widened. You can play palace dramas, costume dramas, and urban dramas. I saw that you didn't say much tonight. How come you become less confident after becoming more beautiful?"

Hear the words.

Yao Xingtong laughed awkwardly and said:

"I'm worried that I'll get into trouble with the company, like if old photos of me are dug up, or if I've acted in a TV series before, I'm sure people will point fingers at me."

All I can say is that times have changed and many people's ideas are still very conservative, so her concerns are normal.

Fan Wumian said calmly:
"Don't worry, no actor can be liked by everyone. Even if strangers who don't like me don't have 10 million, they still have 8 million. It won't affect my career at all."

"Then let the PR team help you think of a solution. Maybe they can use the topic and the popularity to help you rise to the top."

"Go home and look for the beautiful photos you took in the past. If they were hacked, just release them to clarify the situation. It's just icing on the cake and won't cause much trouble."

After hearing what he said, Yao Xingtong immediately put his heart at ease.

She wasn't too worried about what others thought, but she was mainly worried that if she was discredited by the media, she would no longer be able to get resources from Fan Wumian.

Since Fan Wumian doesn't care about this, it doesn't matter.
That night, Fan Wumian returned to the two-story courtyard house next to Houhai Lake. The lawn in the yard had just been mowed and exuded the fragrance of green grass.

Since the house is right by the lake, there are a lot of mosquitoes in August, and you can see many insects flying around in front of the lights.

Thinking that this was probably the trouble of living in a mansion, he took a shower and lay down on the bed. He finally had time to check the text messages sent by Zhuang Muxi.

While the crew is taking a break.

Accompanied by her best friend's assistant, Zhuang Muxi went to her hometown in Kenting, Taiwan, and mentioned that she would send him some photos of her home via email tomorrow.

The time difference in Taiwan is one hour faster than that in Yanjing.

I thought she had fallen asleep as it was almost midnight in Kenting, but Fan Wumian sent her a text message and soon received a reply.

Zhuang Muxi called directly and whispered:

"Well, I am flying with Xu Xin today, and we both bought economy class tickets."

"She actually suggested that I upgrade my cabin and take her with me to try first class. She also mentioned that I could get reimbursement from your company anyway, so we planned to spend a few more days in Formosa."

"Although Xu Xin also liked to take advantage of others in the past, I feel like she has changed a bit recently. This morning, my agent arranged for me to meet with the Givenchy brand agent. She also privately asked others if she could give me some cosmetics and clothing samples."

Fan Wumian was lying on the bed, holding his phone and smiling:

"I've long felt that she's starting to take advantage of you. The accountant told me that she's often late in the morning, and she even takes the taxi receipts to the company to claim reimbursement."

"I suggest you find a new assistant. Some people may be okay to get along with in normal times, but their true character can only be seen when problems arise. If she finds out about our secret relationship, she might secretly take photos and sell them to newspapers for a high price of one or two million Hong Kong dollars."

"Unlike Pu Jiajing, although she likes to slack off occasionally, she is very serious about what she should do. For example, when we stayed in the courtyard tonight, she asked someone to buy a mosquito net in advance and put it in my room. Only people with a careful personality are suitable to be assistants."

I used to feel a bit nostalgic.

But after all the problems were exposed, Zhuang Muxi also began to feel that it was not appropriate to let her best friend stay by her side as an assistant.

There are many things that she is embarrassed to let her best friend do, so she has to handle them herself.

From time to time, people would half-jokingly and half-seriously joke that you have changed a lot after becoming famous and rich.

Zhuang Muxi felt that he had not changed much and was still the same.

On the contrary, after leaving school, my best friend Xu Xin changed a lot, and it seemed that she was not used to having me as her assistant.

Fan Wumian understood the principle of "a little help is a debt of gratitude, a big help is a debt of vengeance" very well.

He struck while the iron was hot and added:
"As a celebrity, personal staff is very important. Everything about you will be known to others. I will help you find a reason to get rid of her quietly. I promise not to embarrass you, okay?"

".Okay, how is life in Yanjing? Is everything going well?"

"Very good, the restaurant tonight tastes great. I'll take you to try it when I have time."

Chatted for more than ten minutes.

Just as I was about to go to bed, I received a call from Zuo Ziyan.

When she asked why the call couldn't be connected just now, Fan Wumian realized that something was wrong.

You should prepare two mobile phones to avoid one being busy all the time and arousing suspicion.

Made an excuse.

It is said that there are some minor problems in acquiring land in Shenzhen.

The land by the sea is too soft, so it is difficult to build skyscrapers. I have just discussed with the architectural design company how to solve this problem.

This reason seemed very hard-core, and Zuo Ziyan didn't think much about it. She also suggested looking for construction experience abroad, such as the Dubai Tower.

We haven't seen each other for a while, and "Those Years" has not yet been released in London. She wants to find a place to travel for a few days before school starts.

Have a good sleep all night until dawn.

Early the next morning, Fan Wumian arrived next door first.

The construction progress of the new courtyard house, which covers an area of ​​more than 3,000 square meters, is not fast. Recently, waterproofing tests have begun in the basement and garage that are being poured.

There's not much to see at the construction site.

Then we strolled to Wanghai Tower, climbed to the third floor and overlooked the scenery of Shichahai.

The decoration company is currently building an atmospheric coffee shop in this three-story building, which will also sell milk tea and desserts.

In order to prevent tourists from staying for too long, the designer is quite cunning.

The heights of the table and chairs are intentionally designed to be mismatched, making the space feel refined but uncomfortable.

This trick is said to have been learned from Starbucks and can effectively increase table turnover rate.

Currently, the carpenter is customizing a bar counter. It will still be a few months before the opening. The main building next to it is also busy with decoration and design.

Originally it was intended to be a clubhouse, but now the swimming pool in the basement has been filled in and a cold storage, kitchen, warehouse, etc. have been designed.

At that time, the upper room will be opened for receiving guests, and the lower room will be used for preparing food and cooking. The fumes will be discharged into the sewer several hundred meters away through a special pipe to avoid affecting the exquisiteness of the outdoor wedding.

The money was well spent, and the details of the decoration design are impeccable.

Since Wanghailou was bought by Fan Wumian, it has become famous all over the country. If it is sold now, it can make a net profit of 40 to 50 million yuan, because the location is so good, it is easy to make money by doing many businesses.
