Chapter 249 Stay at Home
Chapter 249 Stay at Home
After hanging up the phone, Fan Wumian put his heart back in his stomach.
From beginning to end, the counselor Shangguan Lan never mentioned anything about asking him to go back to school for classes, so he could continue to slack off happily.
Even if some students are not late, do not skip classes, and get full marks in exams, the honor they can bring to their teachers and schools over the years is not as good as Fan Wumian writing a song like the 54 special edition of "Misplaced Time and Space", or starring in and filming a hit film or TV series.
Different students, suitable for different situations.
Although counselor Shangguan Lan did not say it explicitly, she felt deep down that there was nothing she could teach Fan Wumian.
Take "Those Years" for example, after the National Day holiday, the box office slowly increased, and when it was closed, the total box office in mainland China had exceeded 2.3 million RMB.
It was a work invested by Fan Wumian alone, and he wrote, directed and performed it himself. Even several of the popular theme songs were written by him.
Any teacher would feel very pressured to have a student like this, a great director, sit in his or her classroom to listen to lectures, for fear of saying something wrong and losing face.
After being admitted a few years ago, Liu Yifei stayed in the crew for many years and is still a true "outstanding alumnus".
For many students, graduating from the Performance Department of Beijing Film Academy is a good stepping stone, which helps them to have a more comfortable life after entering the society.
But for Fan Wumian, it was not even icing on the cake. Instead, the school needed him more.
As long as there are no problems with himself, he will be given the green light and get a high credit even if he does not even take the final exam.
It's already October.
The temperature in the port city is quite comfortable. Lying under the parasol, you can see the sparkling swimming pool and the large green lawn.
Assistant Pu Jiajing came to him at this moment and asked with a smile:
"Boss, can I ask for leave?"
"What are you going for?"
"I've put the house up for rent with an agent. I want to find a tenant to rent it out for a short period of time. Since you'll be on the set the rest of the time, if it's vacant for a month, you'll lose 4,000 to 5,000 yuan in rent. The pressure of paying off the mortgage is huge."
"."
Fan Wumian thought for a moment and replied:
"Go ahead, and buy me some fried chicken while you're here, just in time for the tropics."
"My business is mainly concentrated in the mainland. Even if I return to Hong Kong, I will probably only stay there for a short period of time. It would be a waste for you to buy my old house and leave it vacant for a long time, and you would have to pay property fees in vain."
"If it really doesn't work, every time I come back here, you can live next to the garage on the first floor. I'll run around everywhere and let you accompany me everywhere."
Assistant Pu Jiajing said happily:
"Thank you. Normally, there are only the maid Mrs. Wu and the security guards in the house. It's like living in a house worth 2 million Hong Kong dollars for free. You still have to pay them on time. It's such a waste."
Fan Wumian said calmly:
"But the house has appreciated in value, and all the money earned is mine. When I'm not at home, I'll notify the security company to turn on the motion sensors, and their range of activities will be restricted except for going upstairs to clean. How could I allow someone else to occupy my home?"
Assistant Pu Jiajing sat on the recliner next to him and asked:
"So, boss, how long are you going to stay in Hong Kong this time? I'm considering whether to give the key to the agent, or I should install a set of motion sensor equipment."
".The machine plus the service fee is more expensive than all your belongings at home. Just take away the valuable things at home."
Fan Wumian was feeling sleepy and added:
"I'm going back to Hong Kong this time to take care of some English songs, the crew, and the special effects production of A Quiet Place 2. I think it will be done in a few days. Oh, by the way, I almost forgot to invite a few friends out for dinner, lest they say that I turned my back on them after I became famous."
I am at a bottleneck period in my career.
Whether it is preparing a film or TV project or investing in a business, it takes time to get it done.
While he was in the UK, the crew of "The Lonely and Great God" had already made preparations and was waiting for the heroine Zhuang Muxi to finish her work.
On February 10th.
Zhuang Muxi has already set off for Warsaw, Poland, to participate in the 15th Chopin Piano Competition with her teachers from the Central Conservatory of Music and several senior classmates.
The competition dates are from the 5th to the 25th of this month.
The filming start date of "The Lonely and Great God" has been tentatively scheduled for the 30th of the month, and it is expected to take about two months to complete.
Another project that is about to start filming is "Lost on Journey", with a total investment of only 400 million RMB, and it received to million RMB in advertising placement fees in advance.
Stay home.
While preparing the script, I am also continuing to write The Emperor of Desolate Heaven. Since I changed to a more comfortable keyboard, my typing speed has increased a lot. I can complete the weekly submission task in half a day every week, which is about 2 words in total.
Many of Fan Wumian’s male fans are neither obsessed with his songs nor interested in chasing stars or watching movies. They just have a liking for this handsome pretty boy simply because of “The Wild Emperor”.
Throughout Greater China, there may be tens of millions of people who have read his novel, and many of them only read pirated copies online. It is impossible to count the number of people, and it is impossible to bring any royalties to Fan Wumian.
Continuing to create "Emperor of the Wilderness" will not make much money.
The reason why I am taking the trouble to continue writing is mainly because I think there is a chance to monetize from readers through film and television dramas, albums, etc., and bring in some income other than novels.
For example, the short author named Guo made limited income from writing books, but he relied on making movies to attract book fans to buy tickets. He made a fortune with the "Tiny Times" series of movies. Not only is he worth hundreds of millions, he also owns an old villa in Shanghai that is worth hundreds of millions.
in short.
This is equivalent to becoming familiar to hundreds of millions of male book fans through "The Desolate Emperor", and then finding ways to monetize this traffic through other channels.
For example, before the release of "A Quiet Place" and "Those Years", Fan Wumian advertised in "The Wild Emperor", accurately reaching tens of millions of young people, which at least increased the box office by 10 or 20 million and saved millions in publicity and promotion costs.
Writing novels is not a waste of time. I had thought about investing in a novel website before, but it seemed a bit useless.
If you want to successfully support a novel website, you may have to spend tens of millions of RMB, but the profit it brings is extremely limited. The copyright of online novels worth adapting is now only worth a few thousand or tens of thousands of yuan, and you can just buy it with money.
Combined with the process of fighting wits and courage with the counterfeit album production den some time ago, Fan Wumian immediately backed down and felt that instead of investing tens of millions in this field, it would be better to use the money to speculate in stocks.
I was busy until evening.
I want to meet Feng Ying'er, but I don't have the energy to do so.
Around 5 o'clock in the evening, Fan Wumian invited a few close friends to Yongji Restaurant to eat roast goose.
Plans can't keep up with changes.
Mantis and Youpiao's scores were not enough to enter the eight famous universities in Hong Kong, but they were admitted to the Hong Kong Academy of Performing Arts. They decisively chose to stay in the ivory tower and continue their studies.
The fourth child, Roudie, and the fifth child, Niaowang, plan to take the "associate degree" channel to continue their studies and be admitted to the Hong Kong City Academy of Performing Arts.
After meeting.
Several friends rarely complained. When Mantis entered the box, he said with emotion:
"It's really magical. Brother Tianwang has been away recently, but I always see you in the newspaper every day, as if you have never left."
Youpiao also looked at Fan Wumian and said with emotion:
"Now when I go out to Lan Kwai Fong to drink and pick up girls, the first thing I say is 'Fan Wumian is my big brother', and then I take out the photos from the filming. Although they may be thinking of you when I hug them, I don't care, being happy is the most important thing."
"."
After drinking a sip of iced lemon tea, Fan Wumian said:
"You'd better restrain yourself. Otherwise, even if you become famous in the future, you will be drowned by the overwhelming negative information. It will be more difficult to support you than A Dou."
The meat dish continued:
"I envy my elder brother for going to England to spend the romantic time with Zuo Ziyan. We even have to pool money to buy wine, so we can only use you to attract girls, but we don't always succeed."
Done.
Roudie also pointed at Old Five Bird King and said contemptuously:
"Although he doesn't talk much, for some reason, he is very popular with women. One night his mother called me and I learned that he didn't go home all night and was taken to a hotel by a Vietnamese woman."
Fan Wumian smacked his lips and reminded:
"Have you ever thought that maybe the nickname is the reason? There are many women in Lan Kwai Fong who just want to have fun."
"."
"."
The mantis looked at the bird king.
He lowered his gaze, then moved away without making a sound, and sighed silently.
