Chapter 338 It’s clear that I really want to go
Currently, Fan Wumian only has one signed singer, Jane Zhang.

Different from actors.

No one is competing with Jane Zhang for resources. From the quality of her first solo album to the exposure she has gained from the outside world, she is no worse than the newcomers promoted by major record companies.

Since signing a contract with Fan Wumian's personal studio, her fame has been rising rapidly.

It is also because he feels that the resources at hand can cultivate one or two more idol groups, so Fan Wumian wants to bring in Janice Man, Baby Yang, and Ng Jiani to try to create a top Asian girl group.

As long as they have representative works, it will be enough. As for the rest, they should follow the route of "traffic idols". It would be best if they follow the styles of the members and develop in multiple fields, spanning film and television, variety shows and the fashion circle.

I unexpectedly learned that Jane Zhang had the opportunity to participate in the Lantern Festival Gala, and she added a program to sing on stage.

Fan Wumian immediately contacted the Sapphire Blue Music Studio and asked them to put aside other work at hand and compose a music for the student version of "Half Life of Snow" as soon as possible.

Even though this is just an adapted version of a popular internet song, it has the opportunity to be sung by tens of millions of students, which may be of great benefit to both Jane Zhang and Fan Wumian himself.

After all, music has no borders, but the singers themselves do.

Fan Wumian's situation is a bit special, and his business is mainly concentrated in the mainland. If he can properly express his attitude, he will benefit greatly in the long run.

As long as there are no problems in the general direction, even if there are some minor flaws in other small details, they are mostly insignificant. They can make the house more solid and will not collapse completely easily.

He first arranged for the composition of the new song, then rehearsed the 54 special edition of "Misplaced Time and Space". Only then did Fan Wumian find time to contact Jane Zhang again.

He told me on the phone:

"Are you still in Hong Kong these days? You need to work overtime during the New Year. I'll help you find a great opportunity to show your face. You need to rehearse a new song for the chorus."

On the other side of the phone.

Zhang Liangying had just woken up from a long sleep. After hearing these words, she was stunned for a few seconds before asking:
"Rehearsing during the Chinese New Year? I just booked a flight to go home yesterday and bought a lot of New Year's goods. What kind of exposure opportunity are you referring to, boss?"

Fan Wumian then spoke:
"Cancel your flight ticket and come to Yanjing instead. Ask the company's finance department to reimburse you. I met the director of the Spring Festival Gala this morning. He will help arrange for you to perform at the Lantern Festival Gala. You only have a dozen days to prepare, so you must hurry up."

"You can ask your family to come to Yanjing to spend the New Year with you. It's a good opportunity to travel around. The company can help arrange a hotel for you."

"Opportunities are rare. If the rehearsal results are not good, you may not be able to go on stage. It's best to give it a try."

The ratings for the Lantern Festival Gala were also exceptionally high.

Zhang Liangying was shocked after hearing this, and hurriedly replied:

"Okay, boss! I think I can get there today. As for taking my family to Yanjing, it doesn't seem necessary. How can the company pay for it?"

Fan Wumian is no longer the poor boy from two years ago. He said calmly:

"It's okay. After you release the new album, you can take on more activities and help the company make a lot of money. There's no rush to come here today. You can go to the Sapphire Blue Studio and communicate with the music producers. You will be the lead singer and let the kids in the choir perform."

"."

Brief communication is over.

Jane Zhang feels that it was a wise and lucky decision for her to make the job change.

For large-scale official events like the Lantern Festival Gala, other first- and second-tier singers would fight for a spot, but Fan Wumian was able to get a spot on the show temporarily.

In fact, it has nothing to do with Fan Wumian. We should thank Jane Zhang for having a powerful old fan.

the other side.

Director Feng let the driver drive and sat in the back seat. After repeatedly weighing the pros and cons, he finally decided to call Wang Baoqiang and asked him to take time out to go to the company.

There are many actors with two legs in the circle. The style of Wang Baoqiang's works does not match that of Director Feng. Ge Da Ge is Director Feng's favorite.

Compared with keeping Wang Baoqiang, Director Feng felt that it was more important to make Fan Wumian owe him a favor, as it might come in handy someday in the future, such as asking him for a hand when he was desperate.

If he were just an artist, it would be fine, but the key is that Fan Wumian is worth more than 10 or 20 billion Hong Kong dollars, plus he has a strong box office appeal among young people. The value of his "favors" is so heavy that it is like shining gold.

Say what and when.

Last year, Wang Baoqiang contributed millions of RMB in revenue to Director Feng's company, but the commercial value of talented actors is not that high.

A bunch of veteran actors are lining up to get work, but their lives are not as good as many self-employed individuals.

Compare the two phases.

Director Feng, who doesn't mind earning 1.8 million yuan a year, feels that Wang Baoqiang cannot be kept, and even if he is invited, he has to be sent to Fan Wumian.

For an artist management company, its stars may be regarded as important assets. However, it is different for Director Feng. Many top mainland celebrities are trying every means to beg to work with him, just like asking Fan Wumian for help.

So in Feng's eyes, Wang Baoqiang is just a "good seedling", whose value is far less important than Fan Wumian's favor.

As for how to use it, Director Feng is not sure now.

Anyway, he didn't want to use this favor to help Huayi Brothers increase box office revenue. He felt that it would be most cost-effective to use it on himself.

Other artists have not changed their mindset and are still thinking about signing a contract with a company, getting a large sum of money, and then earning dividends while working.

Director Feng started considering in advance the feasibility of setting up his own studio after his contract with Huayi Brothers ended.

It's approaching noon.

Wang Baoqiang was carrying a suitcase, wearing a shiny black down jacket and a thick hat. When he saw Director Feng, he smiled and said:
"Boss, you called at a perfect time. I just arrived at the airport and rushed here. I am about to take a flight home for the New Year. My family is waiting for me for dinner. All my relatives will be there. I have also prepared a lot of red envelopes to give out to the elderly and children in the neighborhood."

Director Feng asked with a squint:

"Are you picking on me? Showing off in your hometown is not as important as your own future. I won't keep you for long. There is something I need to discuss with you in person."

I was called over right after arriving at the airport. All my plans were disrupted. Wang Baoqiang did have some small complaints. Hearing this, he said in surprise:
"Director! Is there a crew looking for me to film a movie? What role do you want me to play this time?"

Director Feng knew that he was a bit naive, so he didn't dare to be too euphemistic and said bluntly:
"Mr. Fan, the boss of Bandit King Media, wants you to switch to his side. I've already talked to him and asked him to let me know what you think first."

Wang Baoqiang decisively said:

"During the filming of Lost on Journey, Mr. Fan sent someone to ask me about it. I said, Boss, you are my benefactor. I will not leave until the contract is over."

Hearing this, Director Feng felt warm in his heart and said with a smile:
"It's okay. I gave the nod this time. I can't offer you the most suitable role, but Mr. Fan can provide you with a broader platform."

"They are big bosses themselves. They have money and people. They can shoot whatever they want. Unlike me, I have to work hard to come up with a script and then get the approval of the investors before deciding whether to shoot. Many times, my opinion doesn't count at all."

"Transfer your contract to him. He will probably tailor a script for you, give you a better salary and share, and all other conditions are better than now. You may even have the opportunity to make your way in Hollywood. I am very optimistic about your future. It would be a waste of your talent to stay with me. Don't be like others who turn their backs on you when they get the upper hand."

There was no mention of getting a good price for him.

Wang Baoqiang is just a simple and honest person, not that smart, and not that knowledgeable.

But it is obvious which is better between Director Feng's company and Bandit King Media.

Under Director Feng's leadership, he had to give 35% of his income to the company, but it was rumored that Huang Shengyi earned % of the money for herself.

The income difference between the two is more than double.

Moreover, during the filming of Lost on Journey, the conditions of the crew were quite good. Huang Bo once visited the set in Yanjing, riding in a company-provided Mercedes-Benz commercial vehicle, and he also brought an assistant and bodyguards.

On the other hand, Wang Baoqiang was more famous than Huang Bo before, but he only has an agent. "Soldier Assault" has not yet been aired, and he is still between the second and third lines.

I was about to say "I don't want to leave", but when the words reached Wang Baoqiang's throat, they turned into:

"Boss, do I really want to go? I really don't want to leave you. I will never forget your cultivation after I go there."

"."

From the sound of it, it's clear that he really wants to go.

Director Feng rolled his eyes in his heart and sighed secretly - "Who wouldn't want to go?"

If Fan Wumian had not set his sights on Wang Baoqiang, but had offered him a signing fee of around 1000 million, Director Feng himself would have wanted to pack up and run away from Huayi Brothers and go to film under The Bandit King.

Now everyone in the circle knows how happy Director Lu Hao is working under Fan Wumian. Not only is he assigned with several powerful resources, but his filming work is also not interfered with.

On the other hand, Director Feng's investors are very stingy and he has to attend constant social events. On the surface, he seems to be having a great time, but in fact, he has a lot of troubles in private, and he is under a lot of pressure and does not have enough freedom.

For example, two weeks ago, a promotion conference for the overseas distribution rights of "The Banquet" was held. It was clear that the distribution rights for the island countries, Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, and Southeast Asia had been split up and sold. However, the investors complained that no one was interested in the North American market and that it failed to attract Hollywood financiers.

In this regard.

Director Feng felt that this matter had nothing to do with him, and it was mainly because the investors themselves were not strong enough and after investing the money they threw all the other things on him.

On the other hand, it was said that Fan Wumian didn't need to worry about his subordinates, as he, as the boss, had coordinated everything himself, and his works were being snapped up by overseas distributors.

The Banquet cost 1500 million US dollars, but the price of its distribution rights in Asia is not as high as the low-budget films You Are the Apple of My Eye and Crazy Stone.

Although he was emotional, he was still bound by the contract in the short term. Director Feng waved to Wang Baoqiang and added:

"People always want to move up, and it would be my fault if I delayed you. Just pack it up after the New Year. I will continue to film The Banquet by then, so you don't need to say hello to me."
