Chapter 361 Zuo Ziyan's Drama

Chapter 361 Zuo Ziyan's Drama

A lot of things have happened since the beginning of the year.

Because he had to meet the schedule, he co-starred with Stephen Chow in "Detective Chinatown".

After Fan Wumian returned to Hong Kong, he continued to work overtime to film "My Love from the Star" and neglected many other businesses.

For example, after the editing and production of "The Lonely and Great God" was completed, it passed the review as a joint venture film and immediately participated in a TV series promotion conference in Yanjing.

Hubei Radio and Television reserved the first broadcast rights at a high price, and the second round broadcast rights were also reserved by other satellite TV stations at high prices. It is said that advertisers are particularly active and are spending money like crazy to get TV advertising space for this drama.

During the two or three days of the exhibition, Shanzeiwang Media signed orders totaling more than 4000 million RMB, and many TV station representatives asked about the second season of "Wulin Waijia" and "My Love from the Star".

Fan Wumian can produce good works and the TV station can also make money from it. Both sides are happy and it has not been affected by Tudou.com.

The main reason is that Tudou.com is still too small and currently only broadcasts some old dramas, which has little impact on the interests of TV stations.

the other side.

"City Hunter", starring Huang Shengyi, is being prepared to start filming in the form of a Hong Kong drama, along with "Running Man" and "Lost on Journey 2".

Lao Bai and Li Dazui from "Wulin Wai Zhuan", as well as Yang Mi and Xiao Yang, were all invited to be permanent guests. It is planned to shoot 18 episodes every year. Uncle Qian from Deyunshe was also called over and had already prepared branded clothes in advance.

There are a lot of projects being prepared, but Fan Wumian mainly focuses on the Myth Film Studio in Hollywood, and other trivial matters are left to the company's people.

Having prepared several dramas, many of his employees are very experienced, so he doesn't need to worry too much about projects like "Wulin Waijiao: The Treasure of Hengshan" and "The Golden Eyes".

It is worth mentioning that.

The male lead of "Golden Eyes" was given to Chen Kun, who was signed for three films at one time with a salary of 80 RMB per film.

Similar to "Lost on Journey" and "Detective Chinatown 3", it was prepared as a series of movies from the very beginning.

As for these trivial matters, Fan Wumian only understood the situation and looked at the documents. If he was nitpicking about everything and striving for perfection, he, as a boss, would have been exhausted long ago.

The business under his control is expanding rapidly. After other capitals entered the market, it has not caused too much impact on Fan Wumian. It is the golden period of development.
mid-December.

After finishing filming "My Love from the Star", Fan Wumian only rested for two days before meeting up with Stephen Chow and heading to Bangkok, Thailand together.

His scenes were filmed ahead of schedule, so he finished filming first. He would have to work on other scenes for about two weeks before he could completely finish filming the new drama.

The mansion that I am working on with Stephen Chow has not been built yet.

Although they are just plots of land, thanks to the recovery of Hong Kong's property market, the two plots of land in Poole Road owned by Fan Wumian have appreciated by 300 to 400 million Hong Kong dollars.

If you meet the right seller, the price can be even higher. I have met many people who have asked for the price. Houses on the top of the mountain in Hong Kong City are relatively scarce, and even some old houses will be bought at high prices, and then renovated or directly demolished and rebuilt.

I was really busy filming "My Love from the Star".

While the filming of "Detective Chinatown 3" has not officially started, Fan Wumian took the time to rest. During this period, he also found time to have a secret meeting with Zhuang Muxi, and he became more adept at time management.

4 month 16 number.

Fan Wumian stayed in the hotel and chatted with Zuo Ziyan via video.

now.

Miss Zuo held her chin with her hand:

"I miss you. You've been really busy lately. I'm also very busy here. I don't know when we'll have the chance to meet again."

Fan Wumian smiled and said to her:

"I wanted to give you a surprise. In fact, I laid the groundwork for the second part at the end of Detective Chinatown. The filming location will be in London. By then, the crew will have finished filming, so I can go and stay with you for a few days."

"Wow! When will you come?"

"It will probably take more than a month. The preparations are already complete, but I'm afraid that Sing Jai will get stuck in a rut and delay the filming progress. It's a bit hard to say for now."

This year, he has been busy attending events, filming, and preparing for projects. To be honest, Fan Wumian is a little tired of it. He changed the subject and asked, "How are you? Are you busy with classes recently?"

"I'm very busy. The class schedule is very full, and there are a lot of small homework after class. My classmates who stayed in Hong Kong to study seem to be very happy. I often see them posting travel and vacation photos on their personal spaces."

Before entering university, I always felt that global rankings, education level, and influence were very important.

However, after actually studying there, you will find that all of that is false.

Especially for Zuo Ziyan, whose family was already well-off, giving up her comfortable social circle and the opportunity to be with Fan Wumian for the sake of studying was clearly a huge loss.

She had long regretted going to Cambridge University, but it was too late now and she had not been happy recently.

As Fan Wumian became more and more powerful, all kinds of scandals kept coming up, causing her to feel a strong sense of crisis, fearing that someone would take advantage of the situation and dig into her corner.

Because he made QQ popular, this software is now widely used by young people in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, Southeast Asia and other places. Recently, it has begun to grow in scale and entered a healthy development state. Thanks to the successful overseas expansion, the share price of Penguin Group has also continued to jump, with a total increase of 24.9% last month. Since April, it has continued to make steady progress, and its total market value has exceeded 4 billion Hong Kong dollars.

Fan Wumian told Zuo Ziyan through his laptop:

"Just be patient. It won't be long before summer vacation comes again. If there's nothing else to do at school, I'll take time to spend more time with you."

When this topic was mentioned, Zuo Ziyan said angrily:

"I went to help my tutor during the winter break, which delayed me for half a month. I didn't expect that he would only give me a B+ because I submitted my homework one day late. In the future, even if they beg me, I will not waste time. I feel that in their eyes, students are nothing more than free labor."

".You just discovered it?"

Fan Wumian smiled and continued:

"I have made a fortune recently. The stock price has risen, the venture capital projects have increased, and the TV series and movies I have launched are also very profitable. If this trend continues, I am afraid that in two or three years, I will be able to reach the threshold of a billionaire."

".I know that I occasionally search for news about you. Among the many gossips, there are often a few news about your business."

Zuo Ziyan was secretly expressing her dissatisfaction, but she also knew that having a big-name celebrity boyfriend would inevitably lead to such troubles.

Counting on his fingers, Fan Wumian continued:
"The South Korean game company I acquired is undergoing an upgrade after receiving a sum of money. It will launch new servers in several countries and directly cooperate with Penguin Group in the mainland. It has signed a contract to obtain the agency rights."

"I met a very capable guy last time, named Zhang Yiming, who is helping me plan a movie review and ticket purchasing platform called 'Holy Flame Meow Meow'. I think I can try to enter the film distribution field based on it in the future."

"In addition to these, a large state-owned enterprise in the mainland also took a fancy to my land in Shencheng Bay. The official side found me and said that they wanted to jointly build a skyscraper of 300 to 400 meters high."

The more powerful he was, the more Zuo Ziyan felt like vomiting blood.

Because Fan Wumian had recommended so many projects to her, but apart from buying some Moutai shares, Zuo Ziyan didn't listen seriously.

It seemed like in the blink of an eye, and he suddenly realized that he had become so powerful that he even dared to say that he had the hope of joining the billionaire club.

The psychological advantage was gone. The reason why she started to worry about her future with Fan Wumian was because he was too outstanding and made Miss Zuo anxious.

Because it is a long-distance relationship, separated by half a world, it is easy for people to feel insecure.

Following the topic, Zuo Ziyan asked:

"A super skyscraper of three or four hundred meters would require at least several billion dollars, right? How would you respond to them?"

"I said I would wait a little longer. Many investments have higher returns than building a building. I am not ready to put a lot of cash on real estate. The pressure will be much less in a few years."

After listening to Fan Wumian's words, Zuo Ziyan smacked her lips and said:
"You're not making fun of my family, are you? If we had sold everything we had to invest in Penguin stocks, our total assets would have multiplied several times by now."

".Ayan, your words don't count at home anyway. Your parents are in charge of the assets. There's no need to worry about this."

"Well, my parents are quite regretful."

After a short pause, Zuo Ziyan thought it was necessary to add some common interests and hobbies to narrow the distance between the two of them, and suddenly asked:

"Are there any good scripts recently? If I can finish it in one summer vacation, or take a month off, I want to try to be an actor again and shoot a new work with you."

"Hey, the iron tree is blooming?"

Fan Wumian quickly made a decision and said:

"We can shoot The Invisible Guest together. Paramount will help me distribute Time Trap and The Man From Earth. If the results are good, I can get more support from Paramount. Your English level is relatively high. I will take you directly to Hollywood for development. By then, you will be the most beautiful girl in Cambridge University."

As the company began to expand into Hollywood and reached a cooperation with Paramount, many of its original plans were affected.

For example, the movie "Accidental Murder" was originally going to be starred by Xiao Yang, but now they are considering replacing him with a Hollywood actor and filming in Central or South America.

The cooperation intention for "Wushuang" co-produced with Andy Lau has also been officially confirmed, and he is trying to work together with Paramount's screenwriter to create the script.

Zuo Ziyan rarely took the initiative to suggest that she wanted to accompany Fan Wumian to make a movie again, so of course he would not refuse.

Originally they were planning to recruit actors from Hollywood to film The Invisible Guest, but Fan Wumian thought that he could just slightly change the background story in the script and star in the film himself.

As a particularly brain-burning suspense film, it is very challenging to perform well.

If you arrange the shooting location abroad, you can also take the opportunity to travel and change your mood.

Zuo Ziyan asked:

"These two movies have been shot a long time ago, right? I remember you mentioned that they might not be released on a large scale. How is Paramount going to help you distribute them?"

Fan Wumian said:

“‘The Man From Earth’ only sells DVDs, trying to win some awards and increase its exposure. ‘Time Trap’ has more box office potential, and we will arrange for a small-scale trial in a few hundred cinemas next month, and then decide whether to increase the number of screenings depending on the situation.”
