Chapter 259 God
Being too prominent will easily make people hate you.
Other stars have to try every possible means to gain popularity.
In order to gain fame, some people would go to the extent of causing trouble and cursing at others, or "accidentally" expose themselves in public, in order to occupy a small corner in the newspaper.
But when it comes to Fan Wumian, it seems like he can easily make the front page headlines, with huge amounts of traffic following him everywhere, and he makes a lot of money, which inevitably makes people jealous.
The day when filming of "The Lonely and Great God" started.
The first movie starring Mai Shuli was also released. It seemed that the topic of the day was snatched away by Fan Wumian. The millions of dollars spent on publicity seemed to be wasted. He was so angry that he drank heavily in KTV.
The co-investor of the film, who was now hugging a pretty Vietnamese girl and smoking a cigar, said:
"Brother Mai, you don't have to worry too much. That guy named Fan doesn't know the rules, and many people in the circle have long been dissatisfied with him. In our industry, it is a taboo to eat alone, and it is also a taboo to work alone. Look, although Stephen Chow is very famous, the box office of "Kung Fu" was so high, but didn't he still win any awards?"
"If he continues like this, he will suffer the consequences sooner or later. It's not that he won't pay, it's just that the time has not come yet."
"I will ask my reporters to check the boy's background. We are not saints and we can always find some faults. As long as I try to push the wall, there will definitely be people who will work with me to pull him down."
"Otherwise, if he invests in a few movies a year, it will soon become a big deal, and then everyone will have a hard time, and all the money will go into that guy's pocket."
After hearing this, Mr. Mai was shocked.
After all, the Mr. Jia in front of him has a very high status in the industry. He opened a "Ximen Film Company" and has businesses in Southeast Asia, Taiwan, Hong Kong and other places.
In fact, Master Mai was about to give up competing with Fan Wumian, but since Boss Jia himself mentioned that he wanted to teach him a lesson, Mai Shuli was happy to see it happen.
Suddenly I remembered that I had seen a black fan leave a message under Fan Wumian's news when browsing the forum these two days, so Mai Dashao helped to give some advice:
"I do have an idea. Look at that guy. He's busy all day long. He doesn't look like he's studying seriously. He must have found some connections in the university and skipped classes to get a diploma."
"Also, he signed so many beauties and said he was innocent with them, but I absolutely don't believe it. Do you know Feng Ying'er, who has very long legs and is very beautiful? After she was signed by Bandit King Media, she was so miserable that she had to sell mooncakes on the street."
"It must be because Miss Feng doesn't like men that she is excluded. When they held the opening ceremony today, she almost stood outside the photo. If we think of a way, maybe we can poach her."
"Oh? What a great idea!"
Mr. Jia certainly knew Feng Ying'er and was impressed by this sexy beauty. He said with emotion:
"I don't know how much money I have to spend to win over Miss Feng and get her to say a few bad things about that guy in public. Even if I watch him all day, it will be very pleasing to the eyes."
"When I first discovered her, she had already signed a contract with Bandit King Media. Maybe even though she likes women the most, she doesn't mind dating men?"
"Many men are like this. Although they use marriage as a cover, they still date their boyfriend afterwards. Maybe they will have a chance to get her, hahaha!"
Although he is a bit of a scumbag, Mr. Mai is not completely bad.
After listening to him, I secretly spit a few words and sighed silently that this Mr. Jia is really a piece of shit.
His face remained expressionless, and out of sympathy for the beautiful woman, he said:
"As for poaching, let me do it. My studio is relatively idle and I've been looking for some new talents with potential. There's no future in being a star. My dad also said that it's more profitable to start a company. Take A Quiet Place for example. It was picked up by a Hollywood film company and made hundreds of millions of dollars in one go."
Mr. Jia just nodded, and played finger-guessing games and drank with the young mama-san who came over from the next private room to toast him. In the end, he let the other person sit on his lap.
Since there is almost no interest exchange, there are only a few bosses of Hong Kong and city film and television companies who have a good impression of Fan Wumian.
These competitors watched him build high-rise buildings in tacit understanding.
As soon as they seize an opportunity, they will swarm in, tear down the building, and regain the lost market share.
So when it comes to some trivial matters, Fan Wumian is allowed to jump around for the time being, hoping that he will jump higher so that when he falls, he will fall harder.
The main reason is that the cake is only this big. If Fan Wumian doesn't follow the rules and gets a bigger share, other colleagues will have to get less.
When it comes to interests, no one will be polite.
Occasionally, some people would reminisce about a few years ago, thinking that if Fan Wumian had appeared a few years earlier, he would have been kidnapped and forced to shoot erotic films, or put in a sack and fed to fish. There would have been no need for so much trouble.
the other side.
Fan Wumian certainly didn't know that someone was trying to stir up trouble and forcibly pull him down from the altar.
This time he only played the leading role and handed over the camera and crew to Hong Kong female director Lin Fenyu.
The hit dramas in the past such as "Startling by Each Step", "Eternal Love", "The Journey of Flower", "Love and Destiny 2" and so on were all produced by this female director, and her ability is beyond doubt.
It was precisely because of their previous cooperation that Fan Wumian chose to let her take charge.
At this moment.
Fan Wumian had a rope tied around his waist and was sitting on a tall building filming.
The ancient scenes at the beginning of this TV series will be filmed in Hengdian. Now the hero will first meet a pregnant woman who has met with a car accident, hear her cry and save the baby in her belly, and thus form a bond with the heroine.
Recently, we will first shoot most of the outdoor scenes in Hong Kong, and then go to Yanjing, Shanghai, Hengdian, Moscow, Budapest, etc. There are more scenes of indoor flirting and love, and as long as the heroine Zhuang Muxi performs well, it is actually quite easy to act, and the difficulty is much lower than the "A Quiet Place" series.
However, I will probably have to run around everywhere for the next two or three months.
Crew.
Fan Wumian sat on the edge of the rooftop of an office building on the 30th floor, pretending nothing had happened, putting on a calm expression as he overlooked the night view of Victoria Harbour.
It would be difficult for other 19-year-old young men to act out the calmness and peace of seeing through the world, but his situation is special.
Follow the script.
The male protagonist played by Fan Wumian was originally in a daze admiring the scenery. He rarely interfered with trivial matters in the world. He had already seen through life and death, and his mood became numb and tired.
Through all the noise, he unexpectedly heard a woman crying and whispering
——"God, I'm about to die, but it doesn't matter if I die, please save my daughter, even if it's just a matter of time."
He looked in the direction where the sound came from and saw a park two or three kilometers away.
After a moment of silence.
Fan Wumian finally sighed, stood up, and made the move of raising his legs and taking a step forward.
Of course I won’t really jump, even if I’m hanging on a wire, I won’t feel safe.
I switched to the scenery next to me and jumped down. It was only about one meter high, and there was a thick mat underneath.
After hearing the female director Lin Fenyu shout "Cut!"
Fan Wumian stood up from the mat and said helplessly:
"Filming a drama and watching a drama are two completely different things. Remember to spend more money on special effects. I will appear as a god and flash in front of a pregnant woman who has been in a car accident. It must be cool enough."
Female director Lin Fenyu made an OK gesture and replied:
"I understand. It's mainly for the girls to watch, so of course we have to arrange it in any way that makes it as handsome and heartbreaking as possible."
"That was a good bit, but we'd better do it again, and then we'll switch to the park."
"The water truck is already waiting, let's finish the filming as soon as possible."
Brother Shan Ji’s wife, Sister Cai’er, was invited to play the role of Zhuang Muxi’s mother this time.
She only appeared on screen for a few minutes in total, and the rest of the shots were in the form of posthumous photos, so Fan Wumian gave Sister Cai'er a film salary of 10 yuan, half of which was "image loss compensation."
now.
Brother Shan Ji left his wife behind and came to the rooftop of the office building to join in the fun. He said to the familiar producer:
"Wow, this is a big production indeed. The new cameras look very advanced. The entire crew is really large. I saw more than a dozen minibuses and trucks parked downstairs."
The producer named Dai told:
"Of course. This is a big production with an investment of 1800 million Hong Kong dollars. This drama is made for the whole of Asia. It is of course different from the small-scale crews. The sponsorship fee alone has earned tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars. Even Ferrari has put aside its pride and sponsored an Enzo supercar, which can be used for free for half a month."
Brother Shan Ji asked in a joking tone:
"I'm not familiar with your boss. If you find a suitable role, please help me. I sold the house at a low price last year, but I didn't expect the price to go up again. I lost a lot. Living in a village house is a headache. I can't even order takeout. I'm considering moving back to the city. I have to start working to make money."
The producer named Dai lowered his voice and said:
"Mr. Fan wanted to be a Young and Dangerous guy before, so he must be your fan. I'll take you to say hello later, it shouldn't be a problem. Many people want to play the role of your wife, and with Mr. Fan and Ms. Zhuang, it's hard for this drama not to be a hit."
"Of course, even a blind person can see that. My wife only received two pages of the script and she hid it from me, saying that she had signed a confidentiality agreement."
Brother Shan Ji scratched his face and said speechlessly:
"But she told me that she really wanted to watch this drama. I really don't know what's wrong with your Mr. Fan's brain. This is amazing."
These days, many Hong Kong stars are very famous, but their lives are very tight.
Take Brother Shan Ji for example. His entire net worth only amounts to a few million. He suffered heavy losses from real estate speculation in the past two years and had to sell his house and move to the countryside.
I want to continue looking for a job to earn money to support my family, so I came here with my wife tonight, ready to try my luck with Fan Wumian.
Unlike another big-name male protagonist in "Young and Dangerous" who is obsessed with the culture of daily life, Brother Shan Ji appears to be unruly on the surface, but he is actually quite reliable.
Fan Wumian had seen him before, but only came over to say hello after the filming was over. He smiled and said:
"Brother Shan Ji, you're accompanying Sister Cai Er to film this scene so late at night? Let me make it clear in advance. Sister Cai Er will have a scene where she'll be lying on the ground in the rain, but it will be finished soon. I've prepared a motorhome for her to change into dry clothes. Otherwise, I'm afraid you'll chase her and chop her."
Brother Shan Ji waved his hand and said with a smile:
"It's filming, and if you get paid, you have to be responsible. I should thank you for giving her the opportunity."
