Chapter 239 Leave Note
Chapter 239 Leave Note
This was only September 2005.
The lives of many young people are still simple, boring and tedious. They are not so dependent on the Internet. Perhaps their best friends are right beside them and their loved ones are right in front of them.
People have limited access to information.
There is often a layer of traditional media between celebrities and their fans.
This made Fan Wumian often feel that the current entertainment industry was not lively enough, so he came up with the idea of launching the "microblog" social platform in advance through the Penguin Group.
He did not plan to start a new company himself, but just made a suggestion as a major shareholder.
With the number of users that Penguin Group has, if it launches Weibo first and attracts celebrities to join, it will be difficult for other companies to compete with it.
Tudou.com, which was acquired a few months ago, is still just a video sharing platform, with content mainly consisting of funny jokes, animation, beauty recordings and news.
If the video is a little longer or the picture quality is a little clearer, it will easily become stuck. It is not the best time to launch long videos yet. The number of users is growing slowly, and it is a bit self-entertainment.
Things in the entertainment industry have kept Fan Wumian busy enough, and he doesn't want to spend too much energy on starting his own business.
It is less troublesome to hold a large number of Penguin Group shares.
In his opinion, it is much better to give some potential projects to this company so that he can indirectly gain some benefits from them than to waste them. It is both convenient and profitable.
Practice the split form for a whole morning.
After lunch in the cafeteria at noon, Fan Wumian called his acquaintances at Bank of China (Hong Kong) and asked them to provide a long-term mortgage loan.
After the two parties contacted each other, they agreed to increase their holdings of a large number of shares from Boss Ma and the other two original shareholders based on the closing price of the following Friday.
In total, it accounts for 1.55% of the total share capital of Penguin Group, with a value of approximately HK$2.6 million.
Fan Wumian negotiated with the bank and only paid 30% himself, and borrowed the rest from Bank of China (Hong Kong). This really drained his cash flow.
no way.
The land in Shencheng Bay has received support from relevant departments in Yanjing and is going through the approval process with the green light all the way.
He wanted to make more money by speculating in stocks so that he wouldn't have to pay the land transfer fee when the time came, but he could only watch helplessly.
Continue military training for two or three days.
Taking advantage of the fact that Mr. Ma from Shenzhen City called and said that he was too busy recently and had sent someone to Yanjing to sign the contract, Fan Wumian talked to him on the phone about his ideas for Weibo.
It's just a small project with a relatively small investment scale. It sounds like Facebook, which is very popular in the United States. Boss Ma promised to discuss it with others and evaluate the market prospects.
After signing the contract that day, Fan Wumian continued to slack off.
While Feng Ying'er was in Yanjing to guest-star in "Wulin Waijia", the girl was allowed to stay in the courtyard for two nights, making her already tired body from military training even more overwhelmed.
Until May 9th.
Finally, I officially sat down in the classroom and started to listen to the class.
Faced with all the theoretical courses that were only on paper, Fan Wumian felt overwhelmed and his eyelids were drooping. He ran to see the principal on the first day of class.
Principal Cao was about to pack up and go home. When he saw Fan Wumian, he was very enthusiastic and said:
"Hey, little king, how come you have time to come here? Your class starts today, right? Are you feeling comfortable with listening to Mandarin classes?"
"It is indeed a top art school. The teachers teach very seriously."
Changing the topic, Fan Wumian continued:
"However, I was delayed a bit by participating in the military training. My new script has been approved, and I need to start preparing for the crew as soon as possible, so I have to take a long vacation. I will also have to join Tom Cruise's Mission: Impossible 3 crew in a while to play a cameo role. I have already agreed to receive the salary, so I really can't turn it down."
"Oh? Mission Impossible? That's a real Hollywood blockbuster. Why would you turn it down?"
Principal Cao had a smiling expression on his face.
Ever since Fan Wumian entered the Beijing Film Academy, this school has become the talk of the town. Coupled with the extremely popular Liu Yifei, it has surpassed its competitor, the Chinese Academy of Drama.
Walking up to him and patting Fan Wumian on the shoulder, Principal Cao continued:
"A big star like you must be very busy. I support and understand you. Filming and training outside of school is also a way to bring honor to the school."
"The last movie grossed 1.7 million yuan in the mainland, and this time it broke through 2 million yuan. The teachers all said privately that they didn't know how to teach you."
"Our professional art college is different from other universities. What you learn in the crew may be more practical. Of course, it is also important to lay a good foundation in school. Actors who graduate from professional schools can go further. Come to class when you are free. If you really can't get away, tell the counselor."
After listening to Principal Cao's chatter for a while, Fan Wumian thought to himself that it was no wonder that he could become the principal.
About to speak.
Principal Cao changed the subject and asked curiously:
"What kind of movie are you going to shoot this time? Director Lu Hao has become very famous recently. I heard that you have signed several seniors. If you come across a suitable role, I hope you can take care of the alumni."
"Of course. The project I'm preparing this time is called 'The Lonely and Great God'. It's a TV series about a magical urban romance. I will be the lead actor. I've already reached an agreement with Hubei Radio and Television. As long as there are no problems, they should be able to sell the first broadcast rights to them." Seeing Principal Cao handing him a cigarette, Fan Wumian waved his hand to indicate that he didn't smoke.
I actually smoked in my previous life, but now I no longer have the addiction, so there is no need to continue poisoning myself.
Principal Cao sounded surprised:
"After only reading the script, Huguang TV directly accepted it? He is really a little star, and he has a lot of face. I admire him."
Fan Wumian burst out laughing:
"I thought the script might not pass the review, so I planned to shoot in Hong Kong. After discussion, I found that it was OK to shoot in the mainland, as long as we avoided the real place names, so I temporarily changed to shoot in two places."
"Who did you choose for the female lead? Your senior Liu Yifei is pretty good. I'm almost becoming her fan. You can consider it."
"."
She is worthy of being called the Fairy Sister, her beauty can attract men of all ages.
This made Fan Wumian subconsciously start to feel that he was not very interested in her, but rather there seemed to be something wrong with his aesthetic sense.
Then he opened his mouth and answered Principal Cao:
"The female lead has been chosen. Zhuang Muxi from my company will play the role. We will try to arrange some other roles for alumni of our school."
"Oh, I know Zhuang Muxi. I heard that when school started a while ago, boys from other schools went to CAFU to see her. She was so pretty that the security guards at CAFU started checking student IDs and banned outsiders from entering the campus."
".That's exactly what happened."
While chatting, Fan Wumian wrote a note asking for leave under the guidance of Principal Cao.
After signing quickly, Principal Cao suddenly remembered something and asked:
"How much money do you plan to invest in your new drama? Hong Kong Huazai has launched a plan to support new directors, which I think is very good. Some of your seniors are also very capable, but their talents are buried because they can't get opportunities. If there is a chance, I will recommend some talented alumni. Can you get in touch with them more?"
Fan Wumian smiled and said:
"No problem. If you include my own salary, the investment is probably 1000 million RMB. I only wrote 25 episodes in total. There are some special effects in it, but not too many."
"You are so rich! I have been a principal for my whole life, but my income is not as much as you earn from one play."
nowadays.
Other stars have relatively low incomes. Although their salaries are considered high, they are not enough to make people jealous.
Fan Wumian is different.
He made a ton of money this year, and although it brought him huge traffic and attention, from some perspectives it was a curse rather than a blessing.
After all, the foundation is not stable enough and there is a lack of support from strong allies.
While others are trying every means to steal the limelight, Fan Wumian has begun to try to be more low-key and cool down his popularity. After all, almost all young people know him, so there is no need for him to continue to show off.
After leaving the principal's office, he took the leave note and went to the counselor for signature. He also said hello and asked for leave for Yang Mi in advance.
This is the first time filming a TV series, so there are many supporting roles needed. All the contracted artists under the company have the opportunity to show up in "The Lonely and Great God".
After dark.
In Zhuang Muxi's second small courtyard.
She heard that Fan Wumian had taken leave and officially started preparing for the TV drama project, and asked with a surprised expression:
"Is it going to be filmed so soon? I just found some feel for the piano recently, and it coincides with my trip to Warsaw, Poland for a competition. I'm worried that I'll be too busy when the time comes."
Waving his hands, Fan Wumian ate his hamburger and explained:
"It's okay. I can say that I'm preparing for the show. They don't know what I'm busy with. It won't be too late to start filming after you finish participating in the Chopin Piano Competition. I want to wait until next summer vacation to air it. The students will be at home during the holiday, and the ratings will be higher."
Zhuang Muxi smiled and said:
"But you just started school today, and you can't stand it after just one day?"
There was no way to explain that he had already been to university once, and there was no novelty at all, so Fan Wumian could only explain:
"It's mainly what is taught in class, which is of little use to me. There are quite a lot of courses scheduled for freshman year, almost full from morning to night. Time is more valuable than gold. I want to try to compose a few English songs these days and then go out for a while."
Zhuang Muxi nodded calmly.
Knowing that he was going to England to look for Zuo Ziyan, she asked in a low voice after eating the wings:
"Looking at your relationship, there's no way you two can break up, right? Hong Kong's tradition is really harmful. Powerful men always want to find a few concubines."
Fan Wumian couldn't respond to this.
Before he could speak, Zhuang Muxi added:
"Then can I be the first wife? Just like the queen in the Qing Dynasty dramas, let her be a concubine."
"."
Fan Wumian couldn't help laughing, rubbed her head and said:
"You know, this kind of thing is not easy to handle. By the way, we can arrange a kissing scene in the script this time, but I'm worried that others will accuse me of abusing my power for personal gain and coveting your beauty."
Knowing that he was forcibly changing the subject, Zhuang Muxi quietly gave him a way out and continued:
"Forget about the kissing scene. There are many girls in the Central Conservatory of Music, and your fans are everywhere. I'm worried that they will beat me up."
