Chapter 281: Entertainment Scene

During the summer vacation.

When helping to distribute the movie "Those Years", Guanxian Media was mentally prepared to lose money to gain publicity.

Unexpectedly, Fan Wumian was so competitive and kept releasing all kinds of explosive news, which saved at least three to four million RMB in publicity and promotion budget for Kuangxian Media.

Therefore, from the cooperation some time ago, Kuangxian Media was able to make a small profit. More importantly, thanks to the instant success of "Those Years", it has won several good works one after another, and has barely squeezed into the film distribution market.

As partners, of course we should pay attention to reciprocity and maintain good relationships.

Upon learning that Fan Wumian had begun promoting her English mini album "That Girl", the executives of Bangxian Media directly arranged for a film crew to shoot a special episode of "Entertainment Live".

Fan Wumian contributed a two-story courtyard house on the northern edge of Houhai as a filming location to attract attention.

The outside world has always been unclear about the interior of this two-courtyard courtyard, and using it as a gimmick will make it easier to increase the ratings of this episode of "Entertainment Live" program.

Before the film crew arrived.

Assistant Pu Jiajing specially hired someone to clean up the place. The decoration was not particularly luxurious, but it was clean and comfortable.

At this moment.

After the "Entertainment Live" crew finished shooting the outdoor scenes, Fan Wumian led them to the lounge in the wing and sat on the Chinese-style leather sofa.

The host Suo Ni faced the camera alone, smiling brightly and said:

"We are honored to have such a distinguished guest today. We have specially planned a special program for him."

"I was so excited to meet him in person. I like his songs, his movies, and I admire his talent even more."

"Guess who it is? That's right, seeing such an iconic courtyard house, many people may have guessed it. Now, please welcome Fan Wumian!"

There is also a camera in front of Fan Wumian.

Hearing this, he smiled, waved his hand, sat upright and said:

"Hello everyone, I'm very happy to be on the "Entertainment Live" program. It's been a long time since we last met. The last time I was interviewed by you was a few months ago."

The host, Ms. Suo, continued:
"Yes, it was when promoting 'You Are the Apple of My Eye'. Congratulations on the high box office performance and his promotion to the ranks of 2 million yuan directors in the mainland. That movie was really good. It had neither fancy special effects nor exaggerated action scenes. It just drew people back to their youth by describing the ordinary campus."

Fan Wumian waved his hand and said:

"I can't say I'm a great director. Thank you all for your support and love. I just wanted to make something I like, but I didn't expect it to be so popular at the box office. In terms of filmmaking skills, I still have a lot to learn, and I also find that I am still a little bit lacking in my ability."

It's okay to be a little flamboyant in daily life, but if you don't know how to be humble during interviews, it's easy for people to take your words out of context and attack you.

A few polite words.

The host, Miss Suo, continued to ask:

"I remember that Mr. Fan and our company have another cooperative project, which will be released soon, right?"

"Yes, the name of the movie is Crazy Stone, a black comedy crime film. Director Lu Hao showed me the script and I thought it was very interesting, so I decided to shoot it on the spot."

Fan Wumian cooperated with the host and took the opportunity to advertise, adding:

"The release date is December 12. I think it is suitable for all ages. The overall atmosphere is quite relaxing and the quality is quite good."

Miss Suo smiled brightly and said:

"Mr. Fan said it was wonderful after watching it, so the quality must be very high. You seem to be very busy recently, are you starring in a TV series?"

"Yes, it's a TV series about urban magical romance, called The Lonely and Great God, and I'm partnering with Zhuang Muxi again. She and I are old neighbors, so we have a tacit understanding when working together."

The host continued to cooperate and said:

"I believe that many viewers are like me, looking forward to your new work. The recently popular "Wulin Wai Zhuan" is very interesting. I like to watch it while having dinner. It makes me relax and comfortable. Can you tell me why you bought "Wulin Wai Zhuan" in the first place?"

"It just happened that someone recommended it to me, and I was quite interested in sitcoms, so by chance I decided to invest more and continue filming."

Fan Wumian looked at Miss Suo and added:

"Home With Kids is similar, but I think it's more suitable for eating. American sitcoms can be filmed for more than ten years, and I don't want these stories to end so early, so I bought it myself."

Miss Suo nodded and said:

"Yes, some TV shows are so attractive that people will be reluctant to let go and feel disappointed when they end."

"We came here to interview you today mainly because of your new album. Many people want to know, how did you release an album that is purely in English?"

"Would you mind giving me a brief introduction? It would be great if I could listen to a preview of it in advance."

Fan Wumian only replied:
"I invested in a Silicon Valley company in the first half of this year, a video website called Youtube. A few months ago, the founder of this website contacted me and asked me to sing a song to attract European, American and Asian users."

"Then I tried singing Jar Of Love a cappella and found that it was quite good. Then I came up with the idea of ​​writing a few English songs."

"As for the audition, wait a moment, I have a short audition audio source on my phone."

Rather than an interview, it was more like using the program to advertise.

The host, Miss Suo, had communicated with Ji Qiao in advance, and did not forget to use Youtube to talk about Tudou.com. Then she summarized the questions that people were interested in on the Internet and asked Fan Wumian to answer them on the spot, such as how he bought the jadeite raw stone and when "A Quiet Place 2" would be released.

All these interview questions were communicated in advance.

Questions such as why Emperor Qianlong's shroud was not donated to the museum and whether the news of acquiring the land near Shencheng Bay was true were all directly eliminated to avoid causing controversy.

After a brief interview.

The host, Miss Suo, asked people to turn off the camera and pointed at the wall and asked:

"Mr. Fan, when I came here just now, I wanted to ask, has the huge courtyard next door started to be built? I see that the courtyard wall has been built and it is very high. I am very curious about what it looks like inside. Could you please let me go in and take a look?"

Fan Wumian nodded and said:

"Just don't take pictures. There's construction going on inside. It'll be a bit messy and noisy."

"It's okay. I'm just a little curious. I've never seen such a large courtyard. I heard that you, Mr. Fan, bought old city wall bricks everywhere, which caused the price of city bricks on the market to rise sharply. Many people with taste like to pay attention to these things, making the courtyard more antique and more charming."

Miss Suo is not only a host, she also wants to cross over into the acting industry.

He chose to stay, and satisfying his curiosity was only one of the reasons. He also wanted to seize the opportunity to get close to Fan Wumian.

For example, Liu Yan and Jing Sao, who made guest appearances in "Those Years", became increasingly famous after the movie was released, and their status within Kuangxian Media also rose.

Liu Yan, in particular, has become an Internet celebrity with her proud figure. Her photos have gone viral in various forums and BBSes, and she is showing signs of becoming an "Otaku Goddess".

The crew had a temporary holiday, and Fan Wumian had nothing to do, so he personally took them to visit the next door and told them:

"I was very curious about where all the bricks went for such a large city wall. There were not enough old city wall bricks on the market, so I had to work with the demolition team and look for old city bricks from old houses. It was not easy to get enough bricks."

Miss Suo smiled and said:
"Your new house is so big, you must have used a lot of bricks. No one saved them before, so some of them must have been damaged a long time ago."

Go out and turn right to arrive at the construction site next door.

A circle of courtyard walls had already been built, and the windows were relatively large, without blindly pursuing antique styles.

The total height from the road surface to the roof is 6 meters. At the beginning, the approval was rushed before the new regulations came into effect. Now other homeowners near Houhai who want to build so high have no chance.

The total area is only over 3,000 square meters. More than 20 bricklayers are busy at the same time. The main building has been built in a few months. Only the main house has not yet been equipped with golden nanmu beams. The circular mini version of the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests attic in the yard has not been completed yet.

It's almost completed, but the exterior and interior decoration have not yet started. Everywhere looks like a big construction site and is in a mess.

The "Small Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests" located in the middle of the pond has such a classic shape that it is difficult to distinguish it.

Miss Suo asked in surprise:
"Can it be designed like this? The house is really large and has two floors. I can enjoy the view of the courtyard from home in the future. It must be very comfortable."

Fan Wumian explained:

"The design of the main building is relatively simple. When designing this loft, I used several shapes but I was not satisfied with any of them. After looking around, I decided that the round shape was more pleasing to the eye and also more auspicious. It took me a long time to apply for the height to be increased to 9 meters. I plan to use it as a study in the future."

The entire attic is made of golden nanmu wherever wood can be used, and it looks a bit ordinary for the time being.

After visiting around.

With the idea that there is only a chance if you try, Miss Suo said embarrassedly:
"My family was poor when I was young and my parents passed away early. It was not easy for me to make my own way, which made me very serious about everything I do. If I come across a suitable acting opportunity in the future, could you please keep an eye out for it for me, Mr. Fan? Even if it's a small role, being a host is quite stressful and requires constant improvement in competitiveness."

When one reaches Fan Wumian's level, it is difficult to avoid encountering such things.

Now wherever he goes, there are always people who try their best to recommend themselves, hoping to get his support and help.

It seems thankless to help some strangers who are not related to you at all, but not helping them may easily offend them.

However, he had a good impression of Suoni.

She seems to be a smart woman. She has become quite famous recently and often hosts programs on CCTV.

It wasn't a difficult problem, so he immediately offered a favor and turned to Pu Jiajing and said:
"Did you hear that? Write it down and remind me when you have time to assign a role to Miss Suo."

Assistant Pu Jiajing had dealt with many similar situations and was already very experienced. She just smiled and replied:

"Okay boss, I'll keep an eye on it recently."

Soni smiled happily.

She returned the favor and whispered:
"Thank you, Mr. Fan. I was having dinner with a friend some time ago and heard someone mention you. They said that you were frantically acquiring online copyrights in the past few months. In fact, you wanted to launch an Internet TV station and move TV to the Internet."

"Ok?"

"What I mean is that those wealthy businessmen seemed to be very interested in this project and asked how much money they would need to invest to get it started. Most of them are owners of advertising companies and are more concerned about this kind of business."

Hear the words.

Fan Wumian said calmly:

"It's not a big problem. Given the current situation, even if I spend hundreds of millions, I may not be able to hatch it. Otherwise, I would have done it a long time ago. Thanks for the reminder. I know what to do now."
