Chapter 334 Huazai
Chapter 334 Huazai
I received 12 tickets, just enough to give away.
Jiang Shixi, Pu Jiajing and others are staff members who have applied for admission passes in advance and do not need Spring Festival Gala tickets.
Fan Wumian made a simple statistical inquiry and decided to give three tickets to Zhuang Muxi and her parents.
During the Spring Festival, Zuo Ziyan was going to accompany her parents to Singapore to visit relatives, and Feng Ying'er was going to go back to Australia for a few days, so neither of them needed it.
As for the other tickets, they will be distributed to Huang Bo, Liu Shishi, Yang Mi, Sha Yi, Huang Shengyi and others.
He only got so many tickets in total, and it wasn't his own solo concert, so there was no way he could cover everything.
For people like Yang Mi and her family, as well as the senior executives under them, there is no need for them to come to the Spring Festival Gala to get camera time and increase their exposure. It would be a bit of a waste just to watch the show.
If Huang Bo, Liu Shishi and others could appear in the camera, it would be very helpful in increasing their popularity.
As soon as he returned to his seat with the ticket, Fan Wumian lowered his voice and told Jiang Shixi to go find the supervisor in charge of the video interview and try to get close to him.
Try to get Huang Bo and Huang Shengyi to be interviewed, show their faces and say a few auspicious words.
Both of them have the opportunity to become A-list stars, so it's best for them to seize every opportunity and keep pushing themselves up.
As for Zhuang Muxi, she is already making it in Hollywood, receiving film remuneration in the tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars, making her a top new actress.
For a platform like the Spring Festival Gala, which is being watched by all parties, it is not certain that the deal can be reached. Jiang Shixi only replied that he would try his best.
I watched the rehearsal for more than an hour in advance.
After Fan Wumian went on stage to sing again, he took a car to an office building to shoot some print advertisements.
It has nothing to do with endorsements.
This time it is a telecommunications operator that is planning to promote mobile phone ringtones and will put Fan Wumian’s photo on its official website.
As the No.1 in annual sales of mobile phone ringtones, Fan Wumian made a huge profit of more than 1 million RMB from mobile phone ringtones this year. No wonder telecom operators always feel that they have paid too much and try every means to change the profit sharing ratio.
With the explosion of mobile phone ringtones, the real big trend has exploded, and his share of the profits has not changed for the time being.
The other party was worried about the bad influence and did not dare to touch him easily.
However, for other companies cooperating with telecommunications operators, the profit sharing ratio has been reduced from 50% to 20% or 25%, and the bulk of the profits are taken away by the platform.
During the photo shoot.
A representative of a telecommunications operator asked politely:
"Mr. Fan, have you recorded a new song recently? It would be best if it was festive and suitable for use during the Chinese New Year. There will be a wave of ringtone changes in the next few days. Our supervisor likes you very much and is going to give priority to your songs."
".A festive ringtone for your cell phone? I need to think about it."
Fan Wumian felt that during the New Year holidays, the number of downloads of festive and auspicious mobile phone ringtones might reach millions.
Based on the calculation of earning 1 yuan for each download, it is possible to get several million.
He had forgotten about this before and the telecommunications operator hadn't reminded him, so Fan Wumian was completely unprepared.
However, it is too late to write songs by myself, but it is not too much trouble to buy some copyrights from outside.
Fan Wumian said:
"A ringtone is less than a minute long. I'll prepare it tonight and record it for you tomorrow, how about that?"
"Also, I've signed Zhang Liangying from Super Girl. Her album is almost ready. If you're willing to help with some promotion, I can make her new song into a ringtone and release it directly through your platform."
"I will make money by selling ringback tones, and your platform will also gain traffic, which is a win-win situation for both parties."
The young lady representative of the telecommunications operator thought for a few seconds and replied:
"I personally think it should be fine, but I need to report and discuss it with my superior. Is it okay for Ms. Zhang Liangying to release the ringtone before the album is released?"
Fan Wumian smiled and just replied:
"It's hard to sell physical albums right now, and the ringtones for mobile phones are short, so let's just let everyone listen to it in advance. It would be a shame if we don't take advantage of the popularity during the New Year. The download volume should be good, and I'm very optimistic about her new album."
Not only does the telecommunications operator get half of the money earned from selling ringback tone, but users also need to pay an additional 5 yuan per month to activate the ringback tone.
A deal that is obviously beneficial to both parties is naturally easy to negotiate.
After a while.
After reporting via mobile phone and receiving a positive response from his superior, the small representative of the telecommunications operator told him that he and Zhang Liangying could each be given an advertising space on the official website, and that the ads would be pushed via text messages nationwide. Zhang Liangying was in no hurry to say hello.
She could earn money and increase her popularity by launching mobile phone ringtones. There was no reason for her to refuse such a great opportunity for publicity.
Fan Wumian was busy looking for songs suitable for the Spring Festival. The first ones that came to his mind were "Gong Xi Fa Cai" and "Good Luck Comes".
When he was not yet famous, he visited Andy Lau's home with the idea of trying his luck. Afterwards, Andy Lau called him back.
The number is still saved.
After organizing his words, Fan Wumian called Hua Zai and asked after the call was connected: "Brother Dehua?"
Someone on the other end of the phone hummed and asked, "Who are you?"
"Boss, I'm Fan Wumian."
"Oh! Sorry, I seem to have forgotten to note your contact information. What do you want to talk to me about? Everyone knows that you are the best director. Could it be that Director Fan has a good role for me?"
Being a celebrity, it is inevitable that you will be harassed from time to time, so it is normal to be vigilant.
After learning that it was Fan Wumian, Hua Zi's tone instantly became enthusiastic. The main reason was that he had enough strength and it would be easy for him to enter certain circles naturally.
If someone else had contacted the company directly without going through the company, they would most likely have been hung up on.
Looking at the many situations that Fan Wumian has encountered recently, one can find that when there are more people in direct contact, it will obviously be very troublesome, and all kinds of human relationships are difficult to avoid.
Fan Wumian didn't dare to pretend, and said enthusiastically with a smile:
"Don't make fun of me, big guy."
"Compared to you, I'm just a newcomer. If I could work with you on a film, it would be my dream."
"But today is not about the movie. I have something else to trouble you with."
Hua Zai said cheerfully:
"If you say so, I will definitely help you if I can. These days I am in Shanghai, mainland China, attending a company's annual meeting, and we are talking about endorsements and the like."
Fan Wumian asked:
"The copyright of the song 'Gong Xi Fa Cai' is in your hands, right? The telecommunications company I cooperated with contacted me and wanted me to record some Spring Festival ringtones. When we make money, we can split the profits 50-50. It should be no problem to make 1.8 million."
Huazai said straightforwardly:
"If you want to use it, just use it. Don't talk about the money. I'm also very happy that a great newcomer like you has appeared in Hong Kong entertainment. Recently, no one has mentioned that there is no successor. Only veteran artists like us can support it."
Fan Wumian said politely:
"How are you old? You look as young as me. Business is business. I'm already taking advantage of you by making money from your songs."
"Haha! I'm almost as old as your dad. How about this, you just use it and come to my concert tour when you're free to help out. Singing so many songs in one go is too much for me. You're great at singing Mandarin songs, so you can sing two or three songs and let me take a break."
Hua Zai doesn't need the 1.8 million, and he really wants to spend more time with Fan Wumian.
Today, the three major weapons in Hong Kong's film and television circles have begun to lose their influence.
Andy Lau mainly makes money through concert tours and advertising endorsements, but he also values the resources in Fan Wumian's hands very much.
The younger generation is beginning to rise, and even big names in the entertainment industry like Andy Lau are feeling a strong sense of crisis, fearing that they will not be able to keep up with the times and will have to exit gracefully.
Fan Wumian doesn't really want to owe anyone any favors when he's out there.
Some time ago, South Korean actress Han Xiaozhou helped him find a contact method. After acquiring "Dungeon & Fighter", Fan Wumian gave Han Xiaozhou a small endorsement and asked her to help promote this online game in South Korea.
But Hua Zai is different. He is well versed in the ways of the world and his behavior is impeccable, which makes Fan Wumian feel relieved.
So I didn't continue to refuse, and just said enthusiastically:
"Of course, no problem. Let me know once you've arranged the concert. I'll rush over no matter how busy I am. Actually, I'm currently thinking of a script. Boss, do you want to play a highly intelligent villain? For now, I just have an idea. Maybe I'll look for cooperation with Hollywood."
".What kind of book? A highly intelligent villain?"
"Well, I want you to make counterfeit money. I think Hollywood would really like it."
The film project mentioned by Fan Wumian is "Wushuang".
From some perspectives, he feels that "Wushuang" is more interesting than "Infernal Affairs" and can satisfy the curiosity of many viewers, and has a bit of the flavor of "Breaking Bad".
If the script is well conceived, there is a chance that it can be made into a series, taking over from "A Quiet Place" and continuing to make money in the European and American markets.
