Chapter 300: Feng Shui Wins
last night.

The news that Fan Wumian came to the rescue of the "Crazy Stone" crew and personally went on stage to sing was reported in this morning's newspapers.

The current situation is that the middle-aged and elderly people who are accustomed to reading newspapers are not very interested in them. Advertising through traditional media is ineffective and has limited effects. The market share and influence of newspapers, television stations and other institutions are being gradually eroded by the Internet.

Smarter media outlets started to expand their presence on the Internet early on, but more organizations chose to stay where they are and tried to restrict online news.

The main reason is that most online resources are free, and countless traditional media make money mainly through subscriptions and advertising, which involves interests, so it is difficult to complete the transformation.

As a new media platform, Penguin Weibo is making great efforts.

Currently, almost half of the news on the hot search list is related to the entertainment industry, deliberately reducing information on society, military, economy, etc., targeting the young people's market.

Yang Mi, Liu Yifei, Huang Bo and others have joined the team, attracting the attention of a group of public beta users.

Among them, Fan Wumian, with more than 53 followers, temporarily ranks first on the entire Penguin Weibo fan list.

He cheated legally.

When a new user registers, he or she will automatically follow at least 10 certified influencers. Fan Wumian uses this to attract traffic and attention for himself and his contracted artists.

After Liu Shishi, Zhuang Muxi, Feng Ying'er and others moved in, they specially hired a photographer to take some portraits. They were required to post at least two posts and upload a photo once a week, sharing both work and daily life.

Some companies keep the social media accounts of their artists firmly in their hands, but Fan Wumian is not too worried about contracted artists jumping ship and simply lets them manage their social media accounts themselves.

Special rules and regulations have been compiled for this purpose, and artists, agents, assistants and other positions must study them to prevent anyone from posting, commenting, or liking randomly in the future, which would affect the company.

This is a great opportunity to take advantage of the information gap and leave other artists behind. Of course, it is best to keep the benefits within the family.

The headline of the Penguin Weibo hot search list today is - "Fan Wumian supports "Crazy Stone"."

The second one is - "Fan Wumian suffered from sexual harassment."

Then there were "The first week box office of "Crazy Stone" exceeded 3400 million RMB", "The box office growth of "The Promise" shrunk", "Liu Yifei produced an album in the island country", "Jin Chengwu is actually an island country" and so on.

The number one on the hot search list has received more than 220 million views, which indirectly proves that although many netizens are unable to apply for a public beta account, they are also quietly browsing the screen and starting to use Penguin Weibo to learn about external information.

Backed by the QQ chat software, Penguin Weibo has a particularly strong momentum of development.
The sky cleared and the sun shone on the snow.

It seems quite warm, but in fact the room temperature is still only minus 4 degrees Celsius, so cold that it makes people's ears itchy.

Near a resort hotel at the foot of Dongling Mountain, Fan Wumian is filming the finale of "The Lonely and Great God".

He walked through the thick snow and came to a group of students. He could see Zhuang Muxi, after his "reincarnation", busy creating an oil painting of snowy mountains.

In this life, Zhuang Muxi lives in a happy family. After seeing the picture, she always feels that something is missing. She smiles brightly and invites Fan Wumian to be a model.

After nodding his head in agreement, he looked at Zhuang Muxi with gentle eyes.

The two will meet again that night, extract the beautiful memories and return them to her, and then Zhuang Muxi will burst into tears, hug Fan Wumian tightly, and complain why he didn't come to see her earlier.

Fan Wumian replied that he actually met her secretly every year and gave her a gift on her birthday, and the atmosphere was extremely sweet.

It's just that the weather is suitable, so we can shoot the finale in advance. There are still a few days before the official wrap-up, so we have to go to other cities to shoot some exterior scenes, and then we can wrap up the filming completely.

noon.

In the restaurant of the resort.

Assistant Pu Jiajing brought two bowls of braised pork rice with chicken legs, fried eggs and vegetables. She said to Fan Wumian:
"By the way, I asked about the first-day box office performance of Sakura Gakuin. It seems that the mainland box office is only around 410 million, which is too far behind Crazy Stone. I was embarrassed to announce it to the public. The film reviews were so-so, which is very... old-fashioned."

Passing the spoon to Zhuang Muxi, Fan Wumian lowered his head and mixed the rice:
"I woke up this morning and searched everywhere but couldn't find any news. I already guessed that the box office wasn't going to be good."

"Crazy Stone only earned 1300 million Hong Kong dollars in Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan. It is not certain whether it can break 5000 million Hong Kong dollars in the end. I should have invited a Hong Kong star to play the role of the gangster Da Dao Ge earlier."

"Several leading actors lack box office appeal in Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan. We need to spend more money to save them. You can call Ji Qiao later." Zhuang Muxi was still wearing the clothes from the crew, a white scarf with furry earmuffs, and she ate carefully to avoid getting her clothes dirty.

She remembered something and asked:
"Amien, have you sold the overseas distribution rights for this movie in Japan and South Korea? I have a classmate from Formosa Junior High School who is studying in Singapore. He asked me yesterday when the movie will be released in Singapore."

Fan Wumian replied:

"It may take a little while. The cast is not impressive enough and the overseas distribution rights cannot be sold at a high price before then. So I want to wait until the box office in mainland China is good."

"In the past, we chose to sell them all together to save trouble. This time, we split the overseas distribution rights of Crazy Stone into several countries and regions. The island countries, South Korea, and North America are all sold separately, and the price is slightly higher."

"Packaging is too expensive. Some small companies cannot reach the bidding threshold and lack the distribution resources. Although it is more troublesome after splitting, the number of potential buyers has increased. In the island market alone, five agent distributors have contacted me."

Zhuang Muxi only understood roughly what he said. She held her scarf and ate a mouthful of braised pork and rice, and said in surprise:

"It tastes very similar to the braised pork rice in Taiwan, which is the kind I like to eat!"

Fan Wumian nodded calmly and reminded:
"Maybe the seasoning used comes from Formosa Enterprises. You should eat more now because you still have to be busy in the afternoon."

Other colleagues from the crew were eating nearby, so they couldn't talk about private topics. He and Zhuang Muxi just lowered their heads and ate.

After moistening his mouth with tomato and egg soup and eating his fill, Fan Wumian was considering booking a hourly room to rest for a while.

Mrs. Wu, the servant of No. 89 Repulse Bay, suddenly called and said in a panic:
"Master, something serious has happened!"

"The security guards just caught two people. They actually brought thermoses to water the pine trees in the garden. They said they wanted to ruin your home's feng shui!"

"There is also a cobra made of copper coins buried in the corner. They say that a powerful dragon cannot defeat a local snake. Sir is investigating at home. Please ask Master Li Mingfo to come and take a look."

".ah!?"

Even though Fan Wumian had experienced many storms and waves before, he was still confused by this move.

When business gets bigger, it always offends people. Recently, seeing that the momentum is not right, he has been a little restrained, keeping cash reserves and being careful to guard against competitors.

Never imagined.

The problem actually lies with the Feng Shui layout, and even the trick of burying "Feng Shui talismans" in the corners of the wall was used.

I have to say, it’s really cruel.

I originally thought that "the highest level of business war is to pour boiling water on your competitor's company's money tree" was just a cliché joke on the Internet.

Who would have thought that there are actually people who would use this trick in real life.

Fan Wumian couldn't sit still after hearing this, and asked quickly:

"Which pine tree are you watering? I bought them for 90 Hong Kong dollars!"

"Master, they couldn't see clearly through the wall. It seems that they all poured water. They hid in the blind spot of the surveillance and poured boiling water using the siphon principle of the water pipe. If the security patrol hadn't discovered that there was water coming out of a pipe on the wall, they would have escaped."

".I still have the invoice for the tree. I'll tell the Sir right away and ask them to compensate me!"

Fan Wumian was not at home, but there were jadeite stones worth a mansion placed in the yard, and it had been targeted by thieves before, so the security team never dared to let their guard down.

By chance, I didn't encounter the petty thief, but I caught these two bad Feng Shui guys on the spot.

Having just purchased a mansion in Repulse Bay a few months ago, Fan Wumian gritted his teeth and bought several potted pine trees that were over a hundred years old, thinking that the house was so expensive and the view of the back garden couldn’t be bad.

After being scalded by boiling water, he is probably not going to survive this time, and he suffered a loss of 90 Hong Kong dollars.

Those police officers in Hong Kong may not know what they are doing, so of course they have to remind them specifically, so as to avoid taking them back, giving them a few words of admonition and then letting them go.
