Chapter 367 Final Payment and Accidents

Maybe it’s to prepare the accounts for the first quarter of this year.

Miramax Films readily paid the balance of US$2400 million to the Bandit King Media Hong Kong Headquarters.

When he heard the news, Fan Wumian was outside the crew, signing autographs for fans one by one.

After signing dozens of names in a row, I started to lose my handwriting and my signature became more and more sloppy.

Members of his Thai fan club were particularly enthusiastic and came in groups on weekends, about three to four hundred people in total, holding posters and shouting slogans of support.

With so many people coming, it would be a bit unreasonable not to deal with them personally.

Interestingly.

Among these Thai fans, male fans actually account for a large proportion.

Some guys who were dressed quite femininely clenched their fists and stamped their feet when they saw him, with expressions of ecstasy.

There are also some plump female fans who look more like men, with faint lip hairs around their mouths.

Fan Wumian suspected that they were transsexuals, but he couldn't produce any evidence.

After all, some girls have naturally thicker body hair, so it is possible that their lip hair is heavier.

Last year, there was news that a Thai man used Fan Wumian's photo as a template and went to the hospital for several plastic surgeries. He then suffered an allergic reaction and his face was disfigured. He almost died on the operating table. Afterwards, he sued for a huge amount of compensation.

Fan Wumian wasn't quite sure what the other party was thinking, he just felt that he seemed quite rich.

The price of plastic surgery is not cheap. Many girls want to become more sexy but cannot afford the high cost, so they have to settle for the second best and stuff some cheapest silicone in front of their bodies. The material is a bit outdated.

The result was that although it had grown bigger, there was no natural beauty in its movements, either when walking or jumping, and it was so hard that it felt like it was filled with two heavy stones.

The weather in Bangkok is hot in April, so people dress coolly.

Fan Wumian didn't pay special attention to these, but he still found some clues.

This time I went to Thailand to film.

Zhuang Muxi and Ying'er didn't come along, and Zuo Ziyan was far away in Cambridge, England. She slept alone for more than ten days and had to face Yang Mi, Gao Yuanyuan and others all day long.

A long-lost restlessness began to appear in his heart, making him feel that his health regimen was very effective and he finally replenished his nutrients.

There are so many fans in front of me, I can’t give autographs to everyone.

Feeling that it was about time, he waved and smiled, then returned to the shooting site and sat in front of an electric fan to cool down.

Pu Jiajing said:

"I just finished talking. The money has been deposited into the company account. The finance department asked you what you are going to do. You still owe the land transfer fee. How about paying the money in advance? The bank has already asked about this business. The interest rate seems to be much lower than at the beginning of the year."

Looking at her as if she were a fool, Fan Wumian said:

"I haven't been asked to pay yet, so why should I be in a hurry? I have about 200 million RMB in cash. Do you know how much interest I get every day? I should be able to make 30,000 to 40,000 RMB a day if I give it to a trust fund to help manage it. If I pay in advance, I will lose money."

Pu Jiajing said in a quiet tone:

"My salary and bonus are all used to pay the mortgage, and are deducted by the bank every month. I don't even know the current bank's fixed interest rate, so how can I know the interest on a deposit of 200 million yuan?"

Hearing this, Fan Wumian smiled and continued:
"When you became a house slave, you should have expected this day to come. But first there is bitterness before sweetness. You have seized the opportunity of the Hong Kong real estate market recovery, which is still good."

"This large sum of money doesn't seem to be of much use for the time being. The Mythology Film Studio in the United States will use the current liquid funds in its account to pay it back. A Quiet Place 2 will be released soon in the summer."

"Forget it, just go ahead and buy some stocks. I'll make a decision after I finish my research."

Penguin's stock price has been rising for several months.

All the good news in the short term has been digested by the market, and Fan Wumian dare not continue to speculate in the short term.

I like to read news about the financial and technology circles occasionally, but I rarely go to learn about this information specifically.

He had no idea at the moment and could only think that the global financial crisis would not occur until around 2008. In April 2006, the next few months would probably be safe and it was worth trying his luck.

If he could make more money now by using his money, he would have to pay less when paying the down payment for the land transfer fee at the end of the year. It was such a simple account that Fan Wumian must have understood.

I'm busy filming first.

Yang Mi plays a high school student who is bullied by her classmates after her father dies. Fan Wumian accidentally runs into her and saves her.

According to the setting of her character's background, she appears to be harmless, but in fact she is bullied by her father at home all year round, and uses a series of accidents to kill the other party. She is a criminal with an extremely high IQ.

It was not until the end of the movie that Fan Wumian uncovered her hidden side, but since he had no evidence, he could only watch Yang Mi escape and hope that she would become kind in the future.

Sing Jai originally had some minor objections to Yang Mi playing this role.

The reason is that the girl is so pretty that the audience can easily lose their sense of empathy and thus ignore her acting skills.

But Yang Mi was serious enough and was particularly polite when being instructed, so Xingzai didn't feel comfortable saying much, and he also knew that Fan Wumian wanted to support her.

In order not to delay the recording of "Running Man", all the scenes related to Yang Mi were advanced or postponed. Fortunately, the relevant plot was only a few minutes in total and it took two days to complete it.

The supporting role played by Gao Yuanyuan made Xingzai very satisfied.

Originally, she was a character outside the main plot, so the requirements were not that high. She was just a pretty vase and filmed some scenes of taking a bath and showing off her body, and the effect was very good.

The crew is very busy here.

Yang Mi left early and flew back to Yanjing.

After the preparations were completed, "Running Man", which had been shelved for more than a year, finally started filming. A temporary stage was specially built in Wangfujing as the venue for the press conference.

Several resident guests were very polite when they met each other, and were obviously a little uncomfortable.

Seeing the cameraman carrying the camera, the elderly people who are not familiar with outdoor reality shows often can't help but interrupt the filming and ask what they are doing out of curiosity.

The plan is to shoot one episode a day, and after finishing the first season, sell it as a package to TV stations.

Therefore, Xiao Yang, who is also the host, will return to Thailand with Yang Mi to participate in the filming. Otherwise, no matter who plays the line "I can't live with gambling and drugs", Fan Wumian will always feel that it is not right.
--------------

A few days passed in a flash. When he was not busy filming, Fan Wumian often went online to search for the high-quality stocks he remembered.

From Moutai and Gree Air Conditioner in the mainland to Apple, Amazon, Google and other companies in the US stock market, he has looked at the recent stock price trends and company data.

Using 2400 million US dollars for short-term speculation is not a small amount of money. How to reduce risks, how to maximize profits, and how to reduce taxes all need to be taken into consideration.

Take Hong Kong stocks for example. If you hold stocks listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, you do not need to pay taxes on long-term stock trading profits, but you cannot avoid corporate income tax if you trade in the short term. If you make profits from investments in overseas markets, you can apply for tax exemption in Hong Kong.

July 4nd.

Fan Wumian, Uncle Da, Xingzai and others came to a seaside mansion in Bangkok to film the scene where Gao Yuanyuan helps to plead for mercy after being kidnapped by a gang leader.

At first, he just thought the French garden of the mansion was quite charming, but soon Fan Wumian realized that he seemed to be in a dark place.

Since he is so optimistic about the future performance of the mainland property market, it seems that he should invest in industries related to real estate and infrastructure. In the short term, as housing prices rise, the share prices of listed companies in these sectors will most likely be pulled up, which is particularly in line with his need to make a quick buck by speculating in the short term.

The scene in the mansion was set.

After getting ready, they started filming immediately. He, Uncle Tat and Sing Zai squatted with their heads in their arms and were closely guarded by a group of thugs.

The gang leader was played by Fan Wei, who was serious yet a little funny at the same time.

When Fan Wei came to Gao Yuanyuan, took her hand and said that she must give him face, the obscene expression on his face was vivid and did not seem to be pretended.

Just follow the script and continue shooting.

It was originally agreed that an answer would be given to Fan Wei within 10 days, but Fan Wumian suddenly raised his finger seriously and said that three days would be enough and he guaranteed that the murderer would be found.

Gao Yuanyuan was afraid that he would do something bad, so she quickly came over to smooth things over.

She was probably busy speaking her lines and didn't pay attention to her feet. She stepped on a prop and slipped. She was about to fall heavily. Fortunately, Fan Wumian was standing in front of her and quickly reached out to hold her.

Coincidentally.

The palm covered Gao Yuanyuan's body, causing her to frown in pain.

"Are you okay?"

The accident happened too suddenly, and I was only concerned about whether she was injured.

When he saw Gao Yuanyuan lower her head and look at him with wide eyes, Fan Wumian realized that he had supported the wrong person. He calmly withdrew his hand and asked:

"The floor is all tiled, it's very painful if you fall, how about taking a rest first?"

Her chest still hurt. Gao Yuanyuan put her hands in front of her, took a few deep breaths, and said with a smile:
"It's okay. The camera was filming me, so I didn't look down. Thank you. Let's do it again and continue filming, shall we?"

Seeing that she was indeed fine, Director Tang asked everyone to return to their seats and continue the performance.

I know that Xingzai’s requirements are even stricter than the director’s.

Gao Yuanyuan focused on filming and got through the scene in one go, and only then did she have time to think about what had just happened.

She felt that Fan Wumian probably didn't do it on purpose as it happened too suddenly. However, it would be intriguing if he had aimed before making the move.

It has been more than half a year since she broke up with her ex-boyfriend, and there has been no other intimate behavior during this period. Because of this little accident, she began to pay serious attention to Fan Wumian, and felt that he was not only handsome, but also very charming.

When she meets someone she likes, Gao Yuanyuan is always very brave and proactive.

have lunch.

She took the initiative to sit opposite Fan Wumian and started a conversation:

"I see that the script has skipped a lot of scenes for now. We have to wait for Miss Yang to come back before we can start filming. Mr. Xiao Fan, what is your relationship with her? You two are classmates and are about the same age. From the looks of it, she seems to like you a little bit."

For an instant.

Fan Wumian thought of many things related to Gao Yuanyuan.

For example, she has met the wrong people several times in a row, seems to be particularly love-sick, easily attracted to bad men, and has a very independent personality.

The things that happened to her are kindergarten-level in the entertainment industry. They are not explosive at all and can starve the paparazzi to death.

If she had a little more resourcefulness, she would have become famous long ago given her conditions.

Before switching to work for Fan Wumian, Gao Yuanyuan had average resources. At the end of last year, she even tried to make a career in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, but I heard that she ran into obstacles everywhere.

The role in "Baby Project" which she had played in her previous life was assigned to Liu Shishi.

While eating chicken curry rice, Fan Wumian said casually:
"Yang Mi is so childish. She has to find time to write a short essay while she's out filming. I'm just her boss."

Gao Yuanyuan was a little unsure after hearing this, wondering if this was a hint that he liked mature women, and then she said indirectly:

"When I first entered the industry, I was about your age. In the blink of an eye, a few years have passed and I am old enough to be your sister."

The entertainment industry has its own set of survival rules.

Since they are in a relationship, the actors would of course prefer to find a partner who can help them.

The competitiveness of directors and top-tier superstars in the love field is sometimes higher than that of wealthy businessmen with some strength outside the circle.

After listening to her words.

Fan Wumian didn't know how to respond.

I was thinking in my mind that being a queen has its advantages, for example, she is more mature and sensible, and I don’t need to worry about causing too much trouble.

Some time ago, Liu Shishi wanted to date him, but unfortunately, once he agreed, it was difficult to follow up.

For Gao Yuanyuan, it seems that such a problem does not exist.

But thinking that I have already had three relationships...

Fan Wumian finally said:
"Comparing your current photos with those from a few years ago, your current appearance and temperament are more popular with people. If even you have appearance and age anxiety, how can other women survive?"
