Chapter 366: From the Third Line to the First Line

Although he has lived in Hong Kong for such a long time, Fan Wumian does not have that many connections with the local circle.

When I met Uncle Da, an old hand who was well-informed, we often chatted about some gossip and interesting things.

Like this moment.

Fan Wumian suddenly asked:

"Andy Lau is busy holding concerts and filming movies everywhere, so what has Chow Yun Fat been doing these years?"

Uncle Da smiled and said:
"Brother Fa, he was my classmate and we had a good relationship for a while. More than ten years ago, I was young and ignorant, and I owed a large gambling debt and asked him to borrow money. Although he didn't lend me the money, he found me a lot of work. I was a little unhappy at the time, but later I gradually understood that only after suffering, I knew that I had to quit gambling."

"His career is now going downhill. A few years ago, he went to Hollywood and invested in two low-budget B-grade movies, which made a little money. But later, Anna and the King flopped, and he lost all his money with interest."

"But Chow Yun-fat is lucky. After starring in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, he became famous in Hollywood. A film company also noticed him and made the expensive movie Bulletproof Monk, which suffered huge losses at the box office. Now he can only play supporting roles outside at best. If you have a suitable role, I will help you make connections."

When it comes to quitting gambling, the first person that Fan Wumian thinks of is Silly Old Fan.

Then I thought, it seems like it's time to help this cheap dad and tailor a film or TV series that suits him, so that people won't accuse me of being unfilial and letting my dad take small roles everywhere.

Fan Wumian said to Uncle Da again:

"I'm just asking casually. I've already decided to work with Andy Lau on a Hollywood movie, but the other male lead may have to be a white actor, otherwise it will affect the box office results."

"Working with Hollywood is like this. Whether it's actors or directors, they can't afford to fail easily, otherwise their resources will be downgraded immediately, so they are very cautious when choosing scripts."

"In my cooperation with Paramount, there are also some clauses in the contract. If a movie loses too much money, they can interrupt the subsequent co-production projects."

Because he is confident in his film and television works, Fan Wumian is not worried that Paramount will choose to terminate the cooperation.

Uncle Da didn't understand why, thinking he was worried about something, and said to comfort him:

"Don't worry, with your influence in Asia, even if you make a pornographic film, it will be a big hit at the box office. There will be no problem."

The car stopped in front of a temple, and Fan Wumian began to change clothes and put on makeup and continued filming "Detective Chinatown".

the other side.

Jane Zhang came to Guangzhou today to participate in a commercial performance for the launch of a real estate project.

This is the general environment of the current era. Real estate developers are wealthy and are most willing to spend money to invite celebrities to promote their business activities.

After the release of the album "Yu Xi Tan", she has become very popular recently. It is no exaggeration to say that she is the most popular female singer in mainland China.

Putting the songs "Big Fish", "Liang Liang", "Yu Xi Tan", "Chi Ling" and "Silk Play" in the same album is simply terrifyingly powerful.

The demand for genuine albums she sold wholesale was in short supply, and she was overwhelmed with endorsements and commercial performances, which made her rise from a third-tier singer to a first-tier singer.

As soon as she stepped onto the stage on the red carpet, the huge crowd below started shouting, yelling "I like you so much!", "Sing a song of "Chi Ling"!" and so on.

Even when she participated in "Super Girl", Jane Zhang was not as popular as she is now.

The confidence of stars comes from their fans.

At this time, Jane Zhang smiled brightly, waved to greet thousands of audiences, interacted with the host, introduced the new real estate project that would help with the commercial performance, and said that the opening promotional price was only 6300 yuan per square meter, and an additional parking space was given.

The appearance fee is 20 yuan, with an additional 3 yuan for each song sung.

This developer was quite generous and ordered five songs at once.

After the introduction session was over, Jane Zhang made some simple preparations, stood on the stage, picked up the microphone and started singing.

Sing to——

"The spear drives the horse to bring peace to the world"
This farewell is difficult
With a cry of joy, tears welled up in my eyes
Drink this cup with you, both warm and cold

The west wind keeps blowing memories all night long

Drunk and lighting up the lamp to watch the dance of the sword concubine fade away
The next song of Gai Li Chao is singing from all directions
"With sorrow I bid you farewell, and the blood of the sword fell and condensed into frost"

The audience was excited, feeling that the singing was very tasteful and the lyrics were even more tasteful.

Zhang Liangying's singing voice is powerful and full of emotion. Many people at the scene felt their hair stand on end after listening to it.

The developer also arranged for TV reporters to record the scene.

That evening, some clips were broadcast on TV stations, and the full clip was posted to Tudou by the cameraman himself, where it soon received some comments and likes.

A netizen named "A Cup of Oolong Tea" commented after reading the message:

——"What a live performance! Even with those crappy speakers, the sound is so stable. She is truly Zhang Liangying! Love it!"

Some netizens also commented that

——"It's so-so. The noise around is too noisy. The main reason why she became popular is that Fan Wumian writes great songs. But I like rap recently, which is the future of pop music." In mainland China, rap is still a niche after more than a decade, and it is even less popular now.

This attracted a lot of comments, and the topic quickly went off the rails, with people even starting to discuss whether Fan Wumian was really that amazing.

That's what the Internet is all about.

Even if you say "1+1=2", it will attract a lot of people to disagree and argue.

soon.

Someone attached a link to a video.

"The Lonely and Great God" has just aired its sixth episode, in which there is a scene where the heroine played by Duan Zhuang Muxi celebrates her birthday and drags Fan Wumian to sing.

Fan Wumian didn't want to sing at first, but she teased him and asked him if he was tone-deaf, so he sang a song called "Sheng Sheng Man".

"Searching and searching, cold and desolate
The moon sets and the crows cry. The crescent moon falls into the lonely well.

Bits and pieces, bits and pieces

There are flowers in my dreams, and green grass in my dreams."

As soon as the song came out, the feeling came out immediately.

In "The Lonely and Great God", there are a total of four theme songs, namely "Echoes of Dusk", "Dignity", "The Wind Rises" and "Outside Shen Garden", all of which were written by Fan Wumian in his spare time.

Criticizing his songs is like stirring up a hornet's nest. For some hot posts attacking Fan Wumian, there were hundreds of mocking comments below.

Some people also wrote
——"You can doubt whether your father is your biological father, but you can't say that Fan Wumian's songs are not great. For professional singers, he is a supreme being like a god."

Dozens of hit songs have long established Fan Wumian's position in the circle.

After the news that he earned more than 100 million yuan from mobile phone ringtones last year spread, many ordinary people who earned two to three thousand yuan a month actually thought it was normal. After all, Fan Wumian was really awesome. He made a living by his talent and was not greedy, robbing or cheating others. There was nothing to say about it.

A few years ago, Fan Wumian covered Andy Lau's "Gong Xi Fa Cai", which was downloaded more than 290 million times. Afterwards, he gave Andy Lau a "Peace and Good Fortune" plaque as a thank you for using the copyright of his song.
--------------

A number of projects invested in last year are gradually bearing fruit.

Yanjing.

While Zhuang Muxi was studying, she received a call from Fan Wumian and took a car to Wanghai Tower to check out the decoration of the banquet hall.

In mid-April, the grass is green.

Some couples booked the venue in advance at a high price, and the staff are setting up the outdoor wedding.

In order to make use of the idle land, several new two-story courtyard inns have begun the decoration stage.

The water surface is sparkling, and koi are swimming between the water lily leaves. With the tender green willow leaves, everywhere seems very comfortable and pleasant.

The Wanghailou private club, which was acquired with a loan of tens of millions, has become famous because of Fan Wumian. The "Holy Flame Meow Meow" cat cafe opened in the small building has become one of the popular check-in spots for foreign tourists visiting Beijing. Judging from the monthly turnover, it is not a problem to make a net profit of one or two million yuan a year.

Because the "Holy Flame Meow Meow" brand is so popular, a special management team was formed to accept external agents and franchisees. The business is divided into two parts: "cat cafe" and "milk tea shop", and more than a dozen franchisees have been signed in several major cities.

The museum's special exhibition hall, located at No. 28 Di'anmen West Street, is also awaiting acceptance by an expert group. If there are no major safety omissions, it is planned to open for trial operation before the summer vacation. Tickets will be priced at 30 yuan per ticket, and only fine cultural relics will be on display to the public.

Also in Yanjing.

Xiao Yang became famous after starring in "The Good-for-Nothing". He signed several advertising endorsements and film contracts, and generated more than 2 million yuan in revenue for the company.

to this end.

His agent even applied for a Mercedes-Benz commercial vehicle for Xiao Yang, and he has also been taking commercial performances everywhere recently.

The game company that was acquired from South Korea at a high price is busy cooperating with the agent Penguin Group on the 2.0 version of "Dungeon & Fighter" which has not yet been fully completed for public beta. The artists have put a lot of effort into making the game graphics much more refined and have also built a special platform for equipment trading.

The official public beta date is set for May 5st. Currently, one million people have made reservations on the Penguin official website. People want to know what kind of game it is that can make Fan Wumian invest tens of millions of dollars in it.

In addition to upgrading and improving "Dungeon & Fighter", South Korean game companies are also busy.

We are trying to select a mature development team to go to Shenzhen to participate in the development of a new multiplayer online battle arena game. The project is called "League of Legends". There are enough materials available in the country, and mythological characters such as Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, Tang Sanzang, Nezha, the Nine-tailed Fox, Chang'e, etc. will all be produced.

The entire development cycle may take as long as three to four years, so Fan Wumian had no financial pressure and set up a game development studio in Shenzhen.

As a shareholder of Penguin, it would be a shame not to make some games and make money using Penguin's platform.

Also under development are the web game "Wulin Wai Zhuan" and the large-scale online game "Huang Tian Di", which can be regarded as peripheral developments of copyright and will help to monetize Fan Wumian's fame.

He planned to use the money he earned from making games to incubate Tudou.com.

Tudou.com may not be able to survive in a few years just by making money in the entertainment industry. It is estimated that it will take several years for the online video platform to turn losses into profits, so it has to make some long-term plans in advance.
