Chapter 375: Family Assets and Playing with Fire

Although Fan Wumian's net worth is high, it is only a few hundred million US dollars when converted into US dollars.

Not to mention compared with many wealthy businessmen, even compared with great directors like George Lucas and Steven Spielberg, there is still a gap.

The studio founded by George Lucas, which owns the copyright to "Star Wars", is valued at over $20 billion.

DreamWorks, co-founded by director Steven Spielberg and others, only sold its film business to Paramount for $16 billion. The more valuable DreamWorks Animation company has been listed separately on the Nasdaq.

It is relatively simple to calculate his total assets.

The market price of jadeite continues to soar. If the raw stone of the Great Jade King is cut in advance and sold to the outside world, it is estimated that 400 to 500 million yuan can be cashed in.

The quality of this jade is extremely high, and with Fan Wumian's fame, many jewelry companies have already made advance reservations, including Chow Tai Fook and Eastern Gem.

By searching the accounts of various companies, it is possible to squeeze out nearly 3 million Hong Kong dollars as they prepare for the "winter" and start to tighten their belts.

Dividends from mobile phone ringtones, box office revenue from "Crazy Stone", and copyright income from "The Lonely and Great God" are all very profitable, and the cash flow on the books is quite ample.

If we grit our teeth and sell the copyright of mobile phone ringtones to several telecom operators at one time, we can probably sign a buyout agreement for 200 to 300 million RMB.

Doing so is equivalent to selling the hen that lays the golden eggs and cashing in on the revenue from mobile phone ringtones for the next few years in advance.

Once the telecommunications operators obtain the copyrights, they will certainly give priority to promoting Fan Wumian's mobile phone ringtones, and try their best to dominate the entire upstream and downstream, squeezing out other mobile phone ringtone suppliers and keeping the profits in their own hands.

Therefore, as long as Fan Wumian agrees to sell, there will most likely be telecom operators willing to pay for it.

The Hollywood Disney Group has also tried to acquire all the copyrights of "A Quiet Place", but only offered $5500 million.

Originally, Fan Wumian thought the price was too low.

After cooperating with Paramount, he can get part of the dividends from the peripheral copyright revenue. It is expected that by making one more movie in the same series, he can earn back the 5500 million US dollars.

However, compared with Penguin Group's 28.5% stake, other issues are minor.

In order to take over this batch of potential stocks, Fan Wumian even dared to sell the Repulse Bay mansion. Anyway, he was tired of filming "A Quiet Place", so he went back to talk to the people from the Disney Group and it seemed like a good idea to sell it off as a package.

Of course.

The 2% share of the total box office of "A Quiet Place 7.5" will still be executed in accordance with the previously signed contract.

This 7.5% share of the total box office is estimated to be worth at least 2000 million US dollars. "A Quiet Place 2" is tentatively scheduled to be released worldwide on June 6. As long as the team has not run out of money, it would be a pity to give up.

Only the overseas copyright was sold to Miramax Films, and the revenue in Greater China still belongs to Bandit King Media. This can also help Fan Wumian to recover and try not to delay the cooperation with Paramount.

Adding all the various factors together, and considering that the 25% stake in Youtube is quite popular and there is hope that it can be sold at a premium based on the valuation of the appraisal agency, the pressure to raise $ million to $ million is not too great.

If you are really forced into a corner, it seems that it is possible to sell the copyright income of movies such as "Lost on Journey", "Wulin Waijiao: The Treasure of Hengshan" and "Time Trap" in advance and exchange them for cash.

The TV series and movies planned by Fan Wumian are very popular. Once he gives up some of his profit margins and signs some gambling agreements with distributors, it will not be difficult to find buyers.

After a rough calculation, he concluded that "the financial pressure is not too great". He made a decision instantly and started asking people to check the information.

Try to cooperate with the multinational McKinsey Consulting Company again and set up a professional acquisition team as soon as possible to prevent the executives of South Africa's Naspers Group from being too impulsive and really selling its subsidiary MIH to Citigroup.
The long-lost passion returned. Fan Wumian sat cross-legged on the sofa, holding a laptop to check information.

During this period, he made several phone calls to explain some things.

For example, notify the director of the "Golden Eyes" crew to finish filming the stone cutting scene in advance.

There is also Bandit King Media. If you can borrow funds in the short term, you can do so. If that doesn't work, you can use the money in the account.

You will only go through hard times for a while. As long as you hold these penguin stocks and wait patiently until the stock price goes up, the loan you owe to the bank will not be a problem at all.

Fan Wumian was busy, so Zhuang Muxi went to the crew to film by herself.

The screenwriter wrote a short biography for her, trying to integrate her into the plot of the first part, laying the groundwork for the subsequent filming of the second part.

I do not know how long it has been.

When he heard the doorbell unexpectedly, Fan Wumian thought it was Zhuang Muxi who came back, or Pu Jiajing wanted to see him for something.

When I opened the door, I found Gao Yuanyuan standing at my door.

She was wearing a Chanel little black dress and bright lipstick, and it was obvious that she had dressed up carefully.

Fan Wumian's two personal bodyguards couldn't help but smile.

Because they had been waiting in the corridor, they clearly noticed that Gao Yuanyuan went back to her room to change her clothes before coming here to find her boss.

To say that it was just to say hello was obviously a bit too deliberate.

At this moment.

Gao Yuanyuan put her hair behind her ears, smiled and blinked her eyes and asked:

"Mr. Xiao Fan, am I disturbing you? I heard that you were not feeling well today, so I came to ask if there is anything I can help you with. By the way, I would like to ask about your upcoming work arrangements. I have finished filming all my scenes today, and my agent is preparing to book a flight back to the mainland." He was afraid of being secretly photographed by others.

Fan Wumian waved his hand, letting Gao Yuanyuan come in first, and said with a smile:
"I'm fine. I just have some business matters to deal with. Are you in a hurry to go back? I'm not urging you to work. You can travel and have fun for a few more days."

After saying this, I realized there was some ambiguity in it, as if he wanted to keep her.

Fan Wumian added:
"Places like Phuket and Krabi have nice sea views. Just be careful and bring some people with you. They are suitable for relaxing for a few days."

She set up her own studio, which is affiliated with the Shenghuo Miaomiao (Hongcheng) agency. Whether she takes on activities and how much she earns depends entirely on whether she wants to make progress.

After Fan Wumian finished speaking, Gao Yuanyuan said with a smile: "Mr. Fan, are you going too?"

"."

This question is not a polite one.

Fan Wumian swallowed his saliva and replied:

"I haven't finished filming yet, and I've been to Phuket so I can't leave for the time being. The company has collaborated with outside parties to produce several TV series. I feel that you are suitable for acting in scripts with palace fighting and urban themes. Some projects are being prepared, and the leading female role has not been decided yet. You can ask your agent."

About to leave the crew early.

Gao Yuanyuan went shopping yesterday and bought this new dress, which makes her look elegant and mature.

She has a high EQ and is a veteran in the love field, so she naturally understands how to dress in order to be most lethal to young guys.

Coming to the sofa, Gao Yuanyuan sat down gracefully with her legs folded, and continued:

"Thank you so much. When War and Beauty was broadcast, I thought this kind of subject matter was very attractive, and I watched it every day. Later, I came across several similar scripts, but I didn't accept any of them."

Her resources are average, and she hasn't been deified yet.

Last year, he filmed TV series such as "Emperor Li Shimin of Qin" and "The World's Number One", but his roles were not that many.

The movie "Qinghong" starring him was mocked by netizens because of its rustic styling. The box office was hard to describe, with only about 400 million yuan, which was far behind "D" released at the same time.

After meeting Fan Wumian, Gao Yuanyuan finally understood what a true commercial blockbuster was. There were fifty or sixty extras playing the roles of police officers alone. A few days ago, a first-line Hong Kong actor came to make a cameo appearance, and his humble attitude surprised her.

After witnessing Fan Wumian’s strength with his own eyes, many people and things that he originally thought were very powerful suddenly seemed to be of no importance.

After finally creating a small spark, Gao Yuanyuan didn't want to let it go out easily.

Especially after Zhuang Muxi joined the group, this girl's figure was so amazing that she despaired and she could only be more proactive.

I can vaguely guess that it's probably not just as simple as saying hello before leaving.

really.

As Fan Wumian was about to rub his neck, Gao Yuanyuan said she knew how to give massages and walked behind him, massaging him while chatting with him.

Before Zhuang Muxi came over, if Goddess Gao had been as active as she was today, he would have probably collapsed long ago. Now he just felt that it was okay.

Enjoying the subtle ambiguity in the atmosphere, Fan Wumian then asked:

"After joining the crew to film, many media have mentioned you. Has your number of followers on Penguin Weibo increased again? When you have nothing to do, remember to take more exquisite and elegant life photos. Learn from others to share their daily lives. This can help you increase your popularity and attract the attention of advertisers."

We have been in the group together for more than half a month and we have become quite familiar with each other.

Gao Yuanyuan walked around to Fan Wumian and let him lie on her lap without saying a word. Then she said in a calm tone as if nothing had happened:

"I've met some advertisers in the past who like to invite actresses to dinner, and their eyes are rather lewd, as if they have to give some other sweet things before they agree to give me an endorsement opportunity. Then I got angry with the company and stopped attending such dinners."

Fan Wumian opened his eyes, not sure what his expression was, but due to the unique angle, he probably didn't look like a gentleman.

He smelled the faint scent of perfume and said:
"The smaller the bosses, the more they like to act up. Some big brands are a little more formal, so you can ask your agent to negotiate directly. Once you play a few more popular roles and become more famous, you will have plenty of endorsement opportunities to choose from."

Finding that Fan Wumian didn't grasp her main point, Gao Yuanyuan continued:
"Will I ever have such a day when I can choose from so many endorsements? Young people online nowadays prefer new generation actresses like Zhuang Muxi and Yang Mi, who are young, beautiful and popular."

He was slow to respond and said:

"It's different. Your fans are already working and have much stronger spending power than young people. In the past few years, you'd better not make your relationship public, so as not to miss out on great development opportunities. Fans don't like celebrities to be in love."

There was no one around, so Gao Yuanyuan was quite brave and asked quietly, "How should we talk about it if we don't want to make it public?"

"."

Speechless for a moment, Fan Wumian looked at her face and asked:

"Is it my imagination or are you playing with fire?"
