Chapter 345 The seventh day of the lunar month
Zuo Ziyan returned to Cambridge University to continue her studies.
the other side.
Zhuang Muxi took her parents to watch the Spring Festival Gala in Yanjing and stayed there for three more days. It was not until the morning of the fourth day of the Lunar New Year that they flew back to Taiwan to visit their elders.
Her family’s pineapple orchard has been sold, and a few months ago she wanted to bring her grandparents to live in Hong Kong.
However, the old couple couldn't adapt well and couldn't understand Cantonese at all. So one morning they left without saying goodbye and bought plane tickets back to their hometown in Kenting, Taiwan.
What’s funny is that Zhuang Muxi’s parents had no idea about it at all. When they called to ask where the old couple were, the two elders had not only returned to Kenting, but also said that they planned to die and be buried there in the future.
Noon on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year.
Fan Wumian called Zhuang Muxi and asked her:
"At that time, your grandparents sold the pineapple orchard and used the money to buy real estate in Yanjing. Did they have any objections?"
Zhuang Muxi plans to stay in Kenting for a longer period of time this time. In a few days, she will go to shoot product endorsement advertisements for Master Kang Ice Tea and Huashuo Computer.
Because of her outstanding image and temperament, and her popularity among young people, she has received so many advertising endorsement invitations that she has to screen them carefully. The annual endorsement fee for each product is approximately HK$300 million.
Including "A Quiet Place 2" and "The Lonely and Great God", she was paid more than 3200 million Hong Kong dollars last year, making her a wealthy woman. The personal income tax in Hong Kong is particularly low.
After listening to Fan Wumian's words, Zhuang Muxi replied:
"No problem. My grandparents said yesterday that they wanted to visit the museum when it opens. There is also a National Palace Museum in Taipei. There are so many tourists visiting every year. Anyone can see that this kind of business has a bright future."
"Yes, many national treasures were taken there in the early years. I'll go take a look at Wang Xizhi's "Kuaixue Shiqing Tie" when I have time."
Having been idle at home these days, Fan Wumian had a rare opportunity to relax his body and mind. At this moment, he was instructing the masseur to spread out a folding bed in the back garden so that he could have an open-air massage in the sun.
He continued:
"The renovation is progressing very quickly, and there aren't many things that need to be changed. I estimate that we can open early in the second half of the year. Did you enjoy your trip back home? When do you plan to come back?"
".It's okay. When I'm with my old friends, I always feel something is weird. I can't find the same feeling as before."
Zhuang Muxi moved to Hong Kong after graduating from junior high school. Now that she has become a big star, it is inevitable that the relationship between her and her childhood friends will become distant.
Fan Wumian just smiled and said:
"This is also one of the prices of growing up. I had dinner with Mantis, Oily Fatty and the others last night, and they all brought their girlfriends with them. It was so awkward eating, and I didn't even know them."
"Haha, how dare they bring their girlfriends in front of you? Aren't they worried about falling in love with someone else?"
"Who knows? Anyway, they all said they were my fans and kept asking me questions. I just left after eating."
After chatting for more than ten minutes, Fan Wumian changed into his pajamas, lay down on the folding bed and enjoyed the massage.
I seemed to have fallen asleep for a while in a daze. When I woke up and looked up, I saw the sunlight shining on the jadeite raw stone. The broken edge was green and the color was quite pleasing.
The reason why the stone has not been cut is to promote the "Golden Eyes" project.
The script has been written, but filming has not started yet. If the raw stone is cut early, it will probably cost millions more for publicity and distribution, and the effect will be far less than whetting people's appetite with this sky-high priced jade raw stone.
He could roughly guess what it looked like inside, so Fan Wumian was not in a hurry.
Massage for 45 minutes to make your whole body feel relaxed.
When I went upstairs to the bedroom, Feng Ying'er was leaning against the head of the bed watching TV.
She has been watching "Full House" these days, under the pretext of learning how to act. At this moment, she hugged her pillow and asked Fan Wumian:
"When will the TV series you and Ms. Zhuang shoot start airing? Which one is better, our My Love from the Star or Full House?"
Fan Wumian changed his clothes in front of her and joked:
"Let's not talk about anything else for now. At least the two of you are much prettier than the heroine in Full House. It would be best if we could sell the broadcasting rights to South Korea and then hang them up and beat them."
"The previous one hasn't been edited yet. Since we've had a break for the Chinese New Year, I want to start airing it this summer."
"As for My Love from the Star, it will probably have to wait until the winter break to be aired, which is a good opportunity for Tudou to attract some new users."
I communicated with the relevant departments a few years ago, and the answer I got was that they would study and formulate rules and regulations for video websites. Some time ago, many media praised Tudou.com to the sky.
Some Hong Kong media said it "leads the global wave of online television", and some American newspapers said it was "a groundbreaking product" because it opened a new era in which Internet companies produce their own TV dramas and premiere them on the Internet.
It is a rare opportunity for the mainland to seize the initiative in the Internet field, and it is obviously inappropriate to suppress Tudou.com.
This situation is exactly what Fan Wumian wants, and it is particularly beneficial to him.
Feng Ying'er didn't know what he was thinking, and said in frustration:
"Ah, then I have to wait for another half a year after the filming is finished. People outside praise me as a pretty vase, and I need to perform more works to prove myself."
When she was filming, she was able to control her emotions freely and easily get into the role. Her talent as an actor is beyond doubt.
Fan Wumian comforted him and said:
"Sometimes people need to slowly work for ten or twenty years to become famous. Your performance is already very fast. Isn't it easy to have a masterpiece? This year, you can make guest appearances in other crews. As long as you show your face, it will be considered as your performance."
"Really? But I'd rather film with you, which would be like dating under their noses."
".It's better to be more restrained. Not all crew members are tight-lipped. There are often paparazzi who sneak into the crew in disguise. If there is a scandal between us, I will arrange a girlfriend for you to cover it up."
".ruthless."
She is smart enough.
It can be seen that because of the drama "You Are the Apple of My Eye", Fan Wumian and Zuo Ziyan have been tied together as a "screen couple". If one dares to intervene rashly, it will most likely cause an uproar and end up with more harm than good.
Anyway, Miss Zuo stays in the UK all year round, and it’s pretty good now.
Relax, no pressure, just enjoy the moment.
The holiday passed by so quickly, and it was back to work in the blink of an eye.
As the boss, there are still many things waiting for him to deal with, such as continuing to optimize and modify various scripts, preparing a film studio in Hollywood, etc.
If you want to capture the North American market, the easiest way is to become an investor, start a company in Hollywood, try to integrate into it according to Hollywood's rules, and find reliable partners.
Hollywood rejects foreign films and foreign directors, but is still very polite to businessmen who come with large sums of money and provide them with job opportunities.
For more than half a century, countless investors have come forward, all thinking they could be the lucky ones to gain a foothold in Hollywood. But the fact is that most people end up losing everything.
Even if you make some good works, if the theaters don't schedule them, the media don't help promote them, peers try to smear them, and the censorship is stuck in the rating standards, no matter how great you are, you will have to kneel down.
Therefore, Fan Wumian does not dare to have too high expectations and still plans to focus his development on Asia, and goes to Hollywood just to try his luck.
The kangaroo balls Ying Er gave him were really addictive when he played with them as a hand-held toy.
However, this thing could not be brought to the mainland, so Fan Wumian hung it on the key chain of his Porsche sports car.
The Hong Kong city has a total of one week holiday for the Spring Festival, and employees have returned to work today.
At the headquarters of Fan Wumian Studio, after receiving a notice from Jiang Shixi a few years ago, they delayed handling official business for a few days and discussed with Qu Mingan, the boss of Mandou Model, how to draft a contract.
Faced with the temptation of "devoting all efforts to building a girl group", Boss Qu did not have the confidence to bargain with Fan Wumian. It is said that after talking on the phone for more than 1000 minutes, he readily agreed to provide million Hong Kong dollars in funds, plus transfer the contracts of Baby Yang and Janice Man to Fan Wumian's studio.
Under more ideal circumstances, this girl group would achieve half of the achievements of the Twins and earn a net profit of HK$3000 million per year.
Boss Qu believes that there is a chance to recover the cost within two to three years, and the rest will be pure profit.
15% of the shares may seem small, but considering that Fan Wumian can completely play without him, this 15% share seems to be full of sincerity.
When the news reached Fan Wumian, he immediately asked people to look up information to find out how South Korean entertainment companies select trainees, so that he could learn from their mature experience and build a framework based on their experience.
