Chapter 310 South Korean Actress

Chapter 310 South Korean Actress
1 month 4 number.

Fan Wumian was still relaxing in Hong Kong. He got up early to check the news to relieve his boredom and saw an article that was full of valuable information.

The gold content is really high.

The reporter mentioned between the lines that Wanda Cinemas announced that it would invest 5 million RMB in the development of a new generation of cinema chains in the next five years, and planned to use 5 million RMB to shoot a total of 2.5 films.

Jack Ma, the boss of Taobao, also joined in the fun, announcing a high-profile investment in Huayi Brothers and the establishment of Alibaba's film and television department, with the initial start-up capital of 2 million yuan.

Not only that.

According to the reporter's investigation, a large number of film and television companies have been acquired in recent months, and it has become easier to raise funds for projects.

A certain pig farming tycoon in the mainland was listed with a net worth of RMB 11 billion on the Hurun Rich List released in November last year. His only daughter, who is 90.96 years old this year, has made a high-profile entry and established an "Asia Hope Film and Television Company" in Yanjing with a start-up capital of RMB 25 million.

On the opening day, famous directors and first-line artists were invited to help out and publicly announced that filming of a movie would soon begin.

After reading it, Fan Wumian clearly realized that capital had really entered the market in groups, and it was not just a small-scale move.

A large number of wealthy businessmen along the coast have begun to busy themselves with building a new generation of cinemas, treating it as a "hot industry" and at the same time joining forces to invest in the filming of TV series.

At the end of the news, the reporter also mentioned that this wave of investment may have originated from Fan Wumian.

A Quiet Place and another You Are the Apple of My Eye made a lot of money with small investments.

Coupled with the popularity of "Wulin Waijia" and "Home with Kids", people realized that investing in film and television dramas can be so profitable.

Fan Wumian’s earnings in the entertainment industry last year even exceeded those of many medium and large listed companies, which is the main reason why it attracted the attention of capital.

Even if we leave the overseas market aside, if you spend several months preparing to shoot a movie, you have the opportunity to make two or three times the profit just from the domestic market. Such business is not easy to find, not to mention it is quite interesting.

Therefore, it successfully attracted the attention of many wealthy businessmen, who came from other fields to follow suit and enter the market.

He stared at his own name again and again.

Fan Wumian sighed with emotion.

I clearly felt what it means "After one gas station is successful, a gas station is built in the east and another one in the west."

With so much capital invested, some good works will eventually be produced. The good days of making money without doing anything are probably over.

There are only a few good schedules each year, and as other film and television companies start to invest money, the competitive pressure will become greater and greater.

And it’s different from Hollywood.

Hollywood's resources are jointly controlled by several old giants. Outsiders who enter the market will be jointly targeted and swallowed up. The market has been monopolized.

The mainland's film and television market has just begun to emerge, giving these capitals room to grow wildly.

Everyone is trying to eat from the same bowl, and the competition is involuntarily increasing, which will lead to increased filming costs, increased publicity and promotion costs, and the division of the box office market.

It's the same reason why "Crazy Stone" stole the box office revenue from "The Promise".

But think positively.

With the influx of these funds, the pie will definitely become bigger, attracting more audiences to develop the habit of watching movies.

It's going to rain, my mother is going to get married. There's no point worrying about some things, it will only cause you trouble.

He has a bunch of good scripts that have been proven to be successful, and his financial resources are no worse than those businessmen. As an investor, Fan Wumian feels that he will not be affected too much.

However, additional budget may be needed for subsequent filming of film and television dramas.

By then, a group of investors will fight each other for the market, and many old and medium-sized film and television companies with insufficient funds and strength will be the first to be swept away.

Just check the relevant information.

It was unexpectedly discovered that Liu Yifei was invited back from the island country by the daughter of a pig farmer to make a movie. It was announced that she was paid 650 million yuan in salary. The project was called "To My Deskmate".

You can guess from the title of the movie that it should be similar to "Those Years" and is a campus romance movie.

Although Liu Yifei is very famous, her box office appeal is really not that good.

This is what Fan Wumian calls "it's hard to monetize male fans." Many people may like her good looks, but if the movie has mediocre reputation and lacks highlights, the audience still won't buy tickets to see it.

But Fan Wumian’s female fans are really amazing.

Many people went to watch "Wulin Waijia", "Crazy Stone" and even "Home with Kids" just because he invested in it.

It is now popular among school girls to wear Sanma clothes and Red Star Erke sneakers, especially the "Fan Wumian Customized Joint Model", which are sold out as soon as they are launched on the market, and people rush to buy them without thinking.

With his help and advice, Feng Ying'er avoided many detours.

After posting a few days ago a photo of herself wearing a women's suit with a masculine look, the photo went viral on the Internet and attracted media coverage.

A certain lesbian circle boss even gave Feng Ying'er a Lamborghini supercar, hoping to date her. After the news was exposed by Hong Kong media, paparazzi were waiting downstairs of her house from morning to night.

The only thing missing from becoming a big hit is a truly representative work.
------------

a new Year.

Living in Repulse Bay, Fan Wumian takes time to arrange his schedule.

I will definitely star in "My Love from the Star", and in the second half of the year I will also film "Detective Chinatown" with Stephen Chow, plus the movie "The Golden Eyes" which is scheduled to start shooting in April or May. All these will take up a full half a year.

His days are quite fulfilling, and his schedule is so full that he feels like he is at work and setting performance appraisal targets for himself.

I was just mumbling at home that I could never make enough money, when I received a call from the secretary of the board of directors of Penguin Group. He said that the group's game planning department had taken a fancy to "Emperor of the Desolate Sky" and wanted to cooperate to create a large-scale online game to compete with popular online games such as "Legend" and "Fantasy Westward Journey".

It's just an idea for now, and the specific details need to be discussed.

The film and television adaptation of "Emperor of the Wilderness" is a bit troublesome, but making a game is particularly suitable. Fan Wumian told the secretary that he agreed to cooperate, and then began to think about what type of game would be most suitable for it.

Staying in the study, busy planning games.

At the gate of the mansion, a business car was parked on the side of the road and two women got out of the car.

One of them was not good-looking and looked to be in his thirties or forties.

The other young girl was tall and wore a long skirt with a deep V neckline under her windbreaker, black stockings and high-heeled leather boots. She was obviously sexy and tasteful.

The security guard standing at the gate of the mansion did not stop them after seeing them, but asked tentatively: "Who are you looking for? If you want to take pictures, you can only go to the side. Hurry up and leave after taking pictures."

There are too many fans checking in at the entrance of the mansion.

Over time, the security guards were no longer surprised. There were often little girls waiting on the roadside from morning to night with flowers and gifts, hoping to confess their love to Fan Wumian in person.

With so many fans, there are always a few crazy ones who often cause all kinds of trouble.

The middle-aged woman handed a business card to the security guard and introduced:

"I'm from ATV. This lady is from South Korea. I was asked to introduce her to your boss. If it's convenient, could you please help me ask?"

"ATV?"

The security guard took the business card and read it, then said calmly:

"Have you made an appointment in advance? Our boss is very busy recently. He just came back from filming and may not be available."

Because I was from ATV, I was given special care.

If it were other fans, unimportant strangers, etc., the security guard would not easily give in and would usually just answer "not at home" or "made an appointment with the studio in advance."

After receiving the news, Pu Jiajing came to the study room in confusion and asked:
"Boss, do you have an appointment today? There's a woman at the door who says she's a South Korean star and wants to meet you. She was brought here by an ATV employee."

"South Korea? No."

Fan Wumian stood up and asked, "Why did you come here?"

"I'm not sure. Someone from ATV seemed to say that they would like to introduce her to you. I guess it's just another way of getting close to her so that she can get some filming opportunities."

Remember something.

Pu Jiajing continued to say:

"After the success of Dae Jang Geum, TV stations in Hong Kong purchased more than a dozen Korean dramas, causing a large number of local workers in Hong Kong to lose their jobs. This incident was even reported in the newspapers two months ago."

Fan Wumian walked around the desk and went out:

"The mainland has also started to purchase from South Korea, and has also co-produced TV dramas with them, such as 'Myth'. Recently, another drama 'The Princess Weiyoung' is being broadcast. They have tasted the sweetness, and now they want to get the role from me. Am I someone who will give in so easily?"

I arrived at the gate and looked out through the copper fence.

Good guy.

Fan Wumian happened to know the South Korean actress who came to visit him. Her name was Han Xiaozhou, and she had starred in movies such as "The Watchers" and "Only You".

She is about 1.7 meters tall, with fair skin and beautiful looks, and her smile is very friendly.

Silently muttering a few words about "sugar-coated bullets" and not aiding the enemy in helping the Korean Wave sweep across Asia, Fan Wumian ordered the security guard to open the door and just smiled and asked:

"What's up?"

The middle-aged woman from ATV smiled and said enthusiastically:
"Here's the thing."

"Recently, our ATV bought a South Korean drama. Miss Han plays the leading female role in the TV series. She is promoting it in Hong Kong these two days."

"The boss of their company used to study in the United States with our deputy director. Their dormitories were next to each other and they had a good relationship. Miss Han has admired you, Mr. Fan, for a long time and would like to take this opportunity to get to know you and see if there is any opportunity for cooperation in the future."

Fan Wumian suddenly understood.

Since his successful rise, a group of people with connections have been trying every means to find him, hoping to participate in the film and television projects under Bandit King Media.

When filming "Those Years" earlier, Kuangxian Media also stuffed several new actors into the crew. As the business grows, it is inevitable to encounter this kind of trouble.

Han Xiaozhou didn't understand Cantonese, so he bowed and greeted her warmly, and then he said hello in English:
"It's an honor to meet you. I really like your movies and songs. My name is Han HyoJoo, and this is my resume!"

She was wearing a V-neck skirt under her windbreaker and she was quite tall.

He forgot to cover it when he bent over, and it was so white that it was difficult for him to look away.

Appreciate it for two or three seconds.

Fan Wumian took her resume and replied in English:
"Come in for a cup of coffee? South Korean stars seem to be very active recently. I sang a movie theme song with Kim Sun Hee."

Han Xiaozhou's English is not bad, but his accent is a bit heavy. He continued to smile and answered:

"Thank you, I like that song. She is very famous in South Korea. I am still a newcomer. I graduated from the Actors and Film Department of Dongguk University."
