Chapter 333 Me, me, me!
Wu Jiani's acting skills are so-so, and her family background is also average.

However, she is good at dancing and looks quite Western, making her more than qualified to be the face of a girl group.

By then, she can show off her long legs by dancing and partner with Baby Yang to attract fans. This will probably be more promising than continuing to be an actor.

It was only January 2006, and non-mainstream was just beginning to become popular.

If you create a girl group with everyone being good-looking and with a high-end image, it will be especially easy to attract the attention of young people. In the past, popular girl groups such as "Girls' Generation", "T-ARA", and "After School" have caught a wave of the times.

Think of it this way.

Many memories were brought back to Fan Wumian.

I thought of popular songs including "Nobody", "Sexy Love", "Gee", "Day By Day", "Say What You Wish", etc., and my mind was full of high heels and long white legs.

Today, risking offending the contracting company, Wu Jiani left her assistant behind and ran to contact Fan Wumian. Originally, she just wanted to get familiar with him in advance and find a more powerful next employer.

I never expected that Fan Wumian, who was talked about as so aloof, would be so easy to talk to. This really gave me an opportunity that sounded pretty good.

Wu Jiani was stunned for a moment.

Before his brain could fully react, he nodded, then blinked his big eyes and asked:
"A group created by a modeling company? Is it your company, Mr. Fan?"

Fan Wumian smacked his lips and explained as if talking to himself:

"I had originally verbally agreed with the other party that we would each hold about half of the shares. If I were to invest more resources, personally create an album for this girl group, and then promote it in all aspects, and adopt a 50-50 cooperation model, I would be at a disadvantage."

"It's actually possible to work alone without the other party. I already have all the necessary resources, funds, and development strategy planning, but the other party can't provide me with anything."

"It's just a matter of hiring more people. There's no need to take others for a ride."

Jiang Shixi, the agent sitting on his left, tilted his head and said:

"That's right. We haven't officially contacted Mandou Model Agency yet. Can I explain it again?"

Fan Wumian replied:

"Okay, let's just say that I've changed my mind and I've increased my attention to this girl group and I want to devote all my efforts to building it. If you're willing to continue to invest and cooperate, I can give Boss Qu a maximum of about 15% of the shares. If not, then let my studio take charge. Anyway, I already have a bunch of idle people, so I can find something for them to do."

The one that is busy is the Bandit King Media Company.

His own personal studio usually has very little workload. Apart from Fan Wumian, he has only signed Jane Zhang for the time being.

I didn’t care about girl groups before, mainly because I felt they had limited prospects and would cause a lot of trouble.

I'm afraid that they will be like the Hong Kong actresses who, after achieving some success, first think about marrying into a wealthy family, retiring from the entertainment industry to stay at home and take care of their husbands and children, or choose to terminate their contracts and change jobs, resulting in the early investment being wasted.

If the money earned by a team is divided among several members, each person will receive less money.

By that time, with great fame and low income, it is inevitable that some people will consider terminating their contracts and changing jobs.

In addition, since some members may be able to take on endorsements and commercial performances, the incomes of the members may vary greatly. If everyone tries to treat them equally, it is inevitable that there will be discord within the team.

Compared with supporting and creating girl groups, promoting actors and independent singers is less troublesome.

Thinking back to some popular songs at this moment, Fan Wumian felt that there were many resources that he did not need and would be wasted if he did not make use of them.

For example, the song "Gee", he can't sing it, and it's not suitable for Jane Zhang.

Letting Mr. Qu from Mandou Model Company take advantage of this is tantamount to handing over his enormous wealth to others.

And we can’t just consider the profits of the girl group itself.

They can also drive traffic to platforms such as Shanzeiwang Media and Tudou, and create some peripheral benefits.

The star addiction is almost over. It is impossible for Fan Wumian to show up in public all year round and at the same time continue to control the valuable traffic and popularity.

If he had supported a few idol groups early on, even if he gradually retreated behind the scenes, the company would still have a chance to thrive and seize more market share.

From a business perspective, it's worth a little extra thought.

As for being a "babysitter" himself, it would be a big deal. A girl group is tentatively scheduled to have nine members, and it would be a headache for him to see them all together.

In a four-person female dormitory at the university, seven or eight small groups can be created. Even if the company suppresses them by force, it is still difficult to expect them to live in harmony for a long time. After listening to Fan Wumian's words.

Manager Jiang Shixi pondered for a while, stroking the stubble on his chin, and asked:
"It means that Mandou Model Company is in charge, and you are in charge, right? You can only give them 15% of the shares at most?"

"Well, if we can negotiate 10%, that would be even better."

Fan Wumian unscrewed the teacup, which contained Sterculia lychnophora and wild chrysanthemum. The taste was indescribable. He spoke again:

"This form of cooperation is a bit troublesome. They invested real money, but I can't estimate the exact value of the resources I invested. Maybe one or two songs of mine can make the whole girl group famous in both sides of the Taiwan Strait and Hong Kong. If I give them to Mandou Model Company for nothing, I will suffer a great loss."

At first, he only agreed to let Boss Qu take advantage of his popularity and share half of the profits, which made Fan Wumian feel very profitable.

However, if you personally invest resources to support the company, it would not be appropriate to only hold 49% of the shares.

After all, in the entertainment industry, resources are the most precious.

Jiang Shixi nodded and smiled:
"In my opinion, Mandou Model Agency might prefer this new plan."

"Originally, they may have only a 30% chance of winning. Now that you, the boss, are supporting them personally, their stake is smaller, but it's basically a guaranteed win."

"Your fan base is very young, and there is a high degree of overlap with the audience of girl groups. With your help in promotion, it should be easier for you to become popular."

Wu Jiani was left aside and listened very attentively.

Just the words such as "created with great effort" and "popular across both sides of the Taiwan Strait and Hong Kong and Macau" were enough to make her excited, and she immediately expressed her opinion:

"Me, me, me! I'd like to join in!"

The sound was a little loud, attracting the attention of people around.

Seeing that Wu Jiani had sat next to Fan Wumian at some point, some girls began to complain in their hearts, guessing that she was trying to take a shortcut.

Ever since Fan Wumian became famous and more and more influential, the butterfly effect he created has changed many things.

For example, Liu Yifei and her mother actually bought a small piece of land on the northern edge of Houhai and built a courtyard house. It was obvious that they were indirectly influenced by him, which changed the trajectory of their lives in their previous lives.

However, Uncle Benshan still performed "Talking about Things" in this year's Spring Festival Gala.

Perhaps this script had been written long ago and was almost the same as what Fan Wumian remembered, making everyone at the scene laugh.

It is worth mentioning that.

Tsunako and Uncle Qian had originally prepared a crosstalk program on behalf of Deyun Society this year, but it was canceled early because the on-site effect was not very good.

Ever since Fan Wumian invested in Deyunshe, he has already earned back his invested capital. However, as the company has opened two small crosstalk theaters in succession, the investment is currently greater than the income, and he has not received any dividends.

Because of the help from Fan Wumian, the conflict with the crosstalk community was not so tense, and because his apprentices had not yet been trained, the fat black boy Gangzi made the decision to hire a group of colleagues in the crosstalk community to help.

As a result, Gangzi's reputation in the folk art circle has improved. Several senior crosstalk artists who are relatively famous but do not make much money are working for Deyun Society and getting paid according to the number of crosstalk performances.

The rehearsal scene.

There are several rounds of rehearsals for the Spring Festival Gala every year, and Fan Wumian's is relatively easy.

Some dance troupes may spend half a year preparing for a single show, and members of an acrobatic troupe are all injured and emotionally tense.

While I was chatting with Wu Jiani and listening to gossip about the entertainment industry, some groups of people came to inspect and visit.

Fan Wumian was invited over to talk for a while. A middle-aged lady was a loyal fan of "Super Girl" and asked why Zhang Liangying was not brought to the Spring Festival Gala.

He only said that Jane Zhang was preparing for her personal album, and the special edition of the song "Misplaced Time and Space" had already been arranged.

The chief director of the Spring Festival Gala patted his chest and promised that he would definitely invite Jane Zhang to the show next year so that more young people can appear on the Spring Festival Gala stage.

This is an unexpected surprise.

Before anything was decided, Fan Wumian started thinking about preparing a song for Jane Zhang and finalizing her performance on the Spring Festival Gala in advance.

The chief director wanted to advance himself, so he slipped him an envelope before leaving.

Fan Wumian opened it and found that it contained 12 Spring Festival Gala tickets.
