Chapter 302 Female Singer
Chapter 302 Female Singer
There is no work that can be liked by everyone, and there is no work that can be criticized by everyone.
With the phrase "the best business war", Fan Wumian made "Crazy Stone" popular again. The popularity was directly reflected in the cinemas, and the box office revenue rolled in.
The next two days.
During weekdays, the number of viewers of "Crazy Stone" increased instead of decreased.
"Pouring boiling water on the money tree" and "feng shui lucky objects" have become hot topics discussed by the whole nation. Even many uncles and aunts are talking about the news content with relish.
Many people were inspired and some related news appeared.
For example, a man stole a lucky cat from a barber shop, saying that his haircutting skills were not good enough and he wanted the shop to close down sooner.
There was also an employee who was scolded by his boss, so he secretly ran into the boss's office and applied glue to the mouth of the Pi Xiu hand-held figurine, hoping to cut off the "only inflow and no outflow" source of money, but because the smell of the glue was too strong, he was discovered on the same day.
Afterwards, the employee was fired and the boss was so angry that he was hospitalized. When interviewed by reporters, he said that he had indeed lost several large orders.
Inspired by Fan Wumian's experience, countless plain and simple "business wars" were staged all over the country in a short period of time. Taobao merchants quickly followed suit and launched many talismans and doll-making sets, which were sold out.
Some netizens even said that someone had placed a pair of bowls and chopsticks on the beam of their house.
Knowledgeable netizens mentioned that the art of winning is the first secret art of Feng Shui, and there are many considerations in it. For example, placing bowls and chopsticks on the beams of the house obviously means that the person has offended someone, and the other party hopes that his family will suffer constant disasters and fall into poverty.
Various kinds of news emerged one after another, and it became extremely popular in just two days, almost dominating the Penguin Weibo hot search list.
Those netizens who used to like to hang out on forums and BBS are now attracted to Penguin Weibo to get the latest news.
As a brand-new social platform, Weibo's immediacy and interactivity are unmatched by forums and BBS. Not only is it more convenient to share information, it also has social attributes, making it easier for users to form their own social circles and increase user stickiness.
Penguin Group underestimated the popularity of this new product.
We are arranging employees to work overtime to catch up with the work and plan to open it to the public early to avoid missing out on good development opportunities.
Fan Wumian made a casual move and "The Promise" and "Sakura Gakuin" which were released in the same period were directly defeated.
Yesterday, the single-day box office of "The Promise" was only more than 250 million yuan. Just over a week after its release, it experienced another cliff-like drop.
After the budget for publicity and distribution was gradually used up, reviews of "The Promise" began to become more rational, with many news reports criticizing it for being over-hyped and having poor reputation despite good box office.
Some people in the industry also accepted the interview anonymously.
It said that it failed to break into the overseas market, but it blocked the way for other peers.
The wonderfully edited sample was sold at a high price to foreigners, which not only resulted in the return of the products, but also caused mainland commercial blockbusters to lose the trust of overseas agents. Several projects that were being prepared in the industry were aborted as a result.
To an outsider, this evaluation may seem reasonable.
The real reason is that after seeing that "The Promise" lost all its money, many investors calmed down instantly and realized that investing money in commercial blockbusters did not seem to be so safe.
If no overseas distributor is willing to purchase, it will be difficult to recover costs relying solely on the mainland and surrounding Asian markets.
Once the projects currently in preparation such as "The Banquet" and "Curse of the Golden Flower" are completed, the craze for commercial blockbusters will begin to cool down.
In Fan Wumian's opinion.
These stories are basically the same old story, and in order to appear grand and high-end, they are deliberately made difficult to understand, and the audience should be tired of them.
In the past year, there has been news about Fan Wumian every day.
The heat always follows him.
Over time, I became a little numb mentally.
Therefore, Fan Wumian was only responsible for posting to stir up trouble, while he continued to be busy filming and actually didn't care much about subsequent developments.
South China Sea Island, Sanya.
We finished filming the finale in Yanjing ahead of time, and today we came to the beach to continue shooting.
The midday sun was too dazzling, so the entire crew took a break. Zhuang Muxi, wearing a short-sleeved shirt and beach pants, swayed on a hammock in the coconut grove, and said lazily:
"It's so comfortable, I feel like I'm back in Kenting. I was shivering with cold when I got on the plane, but when I got off the plane, it was instantly winter and summer. I'm really more suited to living in the south."
Fan Wumian looked up at the coconut trees, thinking about how to climb up:
"Many people from Northeast China buy houses on islands in the South China Sea to spend the winter. Otherwise, they would be trapped at home in the cold winter for several months a year, which is really troublesome."
Listening to the sound of waves, Zhuang Muxi stretched his body, his white shirt almost bursting, and continued to ask:
"When I was in Yanjing, I bought a disc and watched Super Girl. An article in an airplane magazine said that the winner had a commercial value of 1 million RMB? Can she earn that much?"
"It's just commercial value. But if you work harder, take on more commercial performances, produce more albums and hold more concerts, it's not that difficult to make 1 million RMB with Chun Ge's fame. The potential of the mainland market is greater than you think."
Fan Wumian has had contact with Zhang Hanyun, the third runner-up of last year's "Super Girl".
This year's "Super Girl" was broadcast with great fanfare, and even though he didn't care much about it, he still saw a lot of related news.
Unaffected by his butterfly wings, Chun Ge still won this year's championship.
Nowadays, singing variety shows have not yet started post-production vocal editing and lip-syncing. The guests rely entirely on their real abilities to perform on stage, and the real effect on site is often better than that on TV.
He looked at Zhuang Muxi and asked, "Among so many people, which contestant do you like the most?"
Zhuang Muxi said decisively:
"Zhang Liangying, I feel her singing skills are the best, but unfortunately she is not as popular as the others."
"That's good. Her vocal range is very wide. She can easily handle high, medium and low notes. It's like she has a speaker in her throat."
Finally, he gave up the idea of climbing the tree to pick coconuts. Fan Wumian continued:
"Why not sign her to my company? There are some songs I want to write, but I can't sing them myself. Signing a singer to help me cash in on the money so it won't be a waste."
Upon hearing this, Zhuang Muxi immediately said excitedly:
"Okay! But has Jane Zhang signed a contract with a company? I don't know where she went after participating in Super Girl."
"It's easy to find out. Let Jiang Shixi ask his old employer."
Looking at the sea water under the sun, Fan Wumian naturally thought of "Big Fish". He couldn't sing this song in the bar before, and he still can't sing it now. His shortcoming lies in the high notes.
Some good songs that he couldn't sing were obviously wasted just sitting there.
Shanzeiwang Media is mainly engaged in film and television business. The studio can also sign some singers and let them go out for commercial performances and hold concerts. It is no problem to earn tens of millions every year.
Whether employees are exploited depends on who they are compared with.
Some singers can only get a 91% share from the record companies, and the worse off are even no one wants them. If Fan Wumian gives them a 28% or 37% share, and invests resources to promote them, he would already be considered a godly boss.
This made Fan Wumian think of Huang Shengyi again.
Since buying her contract, Huang Shengyi has been like a model worker, participating in more than a dozen commercial performances, including shopping mall openings, new product launches, company New Year's Eve parties, etc. Her appearance fees are basically around 15 yuan.
Fan Wumian didn't have to worry about it. She and her agent got several roles in dramas, including "Snow Mountain Flying Fox", a co-production between the two places.
It is said that director Wang Jing took the initiative to contact him and offered a total salary of 30 Hong Kong dollars.
Fan Wumian is not very optimistic about this drama, and thinks that modern dramas with female protagonists are more suitable for her. However, she happens to have a schedule next year, and they can't stop her from helping the company make money.
The seaside scenery is refreshing.
At this time, Fan Wumian was thinking that if his artists worked harder, they might be able to drive a Bugatti Veyron soon.
Zhuang Muxi stood up, gave him the hammock, and asked:
"Is Master Li Mingfo's appearance fee expensive? My father was chatting with me last night and mentioned that he wanted him to come to my house to check the Feng Shui."
"???"
Fan Wumian shook his head and said:
"He's just a clever charlatan. It's better to ask me than to ask him. I'm a little worried that Li Mingfo will use my name to cheat people outside. If something similar happens next time, I'll need to find someone else to cooperate with me, so as not to be tied to him."
"Amien, when it comes to swindling, it seems that you are better. With the hype of pouring boiling water on the money tree, the box office of Crazy Stone may increase by tens of millions."
"You can't say that. I'm just stating the facts."
Lazily lying on the hammock, patting the sand off his legs, Fan Wumian closed his eyes and rested:
"Some people can't compete with me openly, so they do some shady things behind the scenes and are caught alive by my security guards. The hype opportunities that come to my doorstep are like putting money in my arms."
"There's no need to pay Master Li to look at Feng Shui. If you want to get rich and have a successful career, just ask me directly. I'm more reliable than those Feng Shui masters."
"How are your parents doing lately?"
"That's pretty good. They didn't believe in these things before, but the rumors out there are so miraculous that they probably want to find someone to take a look to put their minds at ease."
"Yeah, it doesn't cost much anyway, it's mainly for the emotional value."
Done.
I am a little worried that I have crossed the line. As a celebrity, I believe in feudal superstitions, which may cause dissatisfaction among some relevant departments.
Fan Wumian reminded himself secretly, thinking that it would be better to be more restrained in the future and try not to hype it up in the metaphysical aspect. Now that his every move was being closely watched by others, this could be considered as...
Enjoy the breeze at the beach and then go back to the hotel to have a seafood dinner.
I took a nap until about three in the afternoon, and then started framing and shooting when the light outside dimmed a little.
The plot is roughly about Fan Wumian deciding to leave. Before leaving, he takes Zhuang Muxi on a tour around and finally realizes that "being alive" is actually not bad, and he can't let her go.
We filmed more than ten minutes of scenes that day, and we have to go to Macau tomorrow to film the scene where we use clairvoyance to cheat in the casino to help Zhuang Muxi earn enough pocket money.
Follow the script.
It was not until she had exchanged her chips and was about to leave that Zhuang Muxi realized that this casino was also one of Fan Wumian's businesses.
The scriptwriters have figured out the overbearing CEO type of routine.
