Chapter 390 The Next Lucky Person
We are in the midst of a marriage boom among the post-80s generation.

Since Wanghailou Club opened to the public at the beginning of the year, the outdoor wedding and banquet business has been very popular. Guests dine and taste lobster, sea cucumber, abalone and other dishes, which makes people feel very impressive.

It runs a tea restaurant business in the morning, hosts banquets at noon, cleans up in the afternoon, and then transforms into a high-end restaurant in the evening.

Due to Fan Wumian's great influence, if there is enough customer flow, he can make higher profits by making a little effort, attracting many foreign tourists to check in.

Poorer tourists like to come here to have a cup of milk tea or coffee, while rich people can try the "Fan Wumian's Selected" delicacies.

In the evening, the main dishes served are Cantonese, Fujian and Sichuan cuisine. When drawing up the menu, we are not limited to a certain specialty. We only prepare the most delicious dishes, such as Beijing-style shredded pork with soybean sauce, Dongpo pork, braised lion's head and fat fish head.

Some guests will order expensive dishes such as Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea, and Yellow Croaker Soup. Australian lobster, abalone, bird's nest, and puffer fish soup are also very popular, so that the average price per person is reduced to about 350 yuan, focusing on high-end.

no way.

From the time he bought the Wanghailou private club to date, Fan Wumian has invested a total of RMB 1.3 million. It is impossible for it to be like a roadside food stall, focusing on cost-effectiveness.

The area is not very spacious to begin with. If the average sales per table of food is only over 100 yuan, even if the table turnover rate reaches five or six times a day, the profit will still not be as good as directly converting the club into a five-star hotel.

The location of the club is amazing, and the boss, Fan Wumian, is a wealthy celebrity. He has invisibly raised the grade of the Wanghailou Club and has gained a good reputation in the outside world.

At least compared to many high-end restaurants that are expensive and taste bad, the chefs here are hired at a high price and the quality of the ingredients is impeccable.

High-end seafood ingredients such as Australian lobster, king crab, grouper and rat grouper are kept in display tanks so that customers can catch them on the spot. They are killed through the glass window and then taken to the kitchen.

Since Fan Wumian is worth billions of Hong Kong dollars, people would subconsciously think that he has no need to make dirty money at all. Only a madman would choose to throw his face on the ground and step on it for the few dollars they have.

With the crazy increase of wealth.

Even though he is still in the entertainment industry, fewer and fewer people treat him as just a star.

When people mention him, they often first think of his identities such as "major shareholder of Penguin" and "rich businessman in Hong Kong", and then singer, actor, entertainment company boss, etc.

Although his total wealth has increased, Fan Wumian feels that his life has not changed much. He is just more respected by others when he goes out and has more high-quality assets in his hands. At other times, he still has three meals a day and is surrounded by beautiful women.

I fell asleep around five in the morning and slept until almost two in the afternoon.

hungry.

Fan Wumian and Zhuang Muxi went out separately and came to a small private room on the second floor of the Wanghailou Club. Standing by the window, they could see someone rowing on the lake and stealing lotus flowers and putting them in their bags.

I had a poor appetite during those days in Cannes, so I ordered steamed pork ribs with rice flour, radish and duck soup, shredded pork with Beijing sauce, stir-fried oysters with ginger and scallions, and two vegetarian dishes.

He was looking out the window at this moment and said to Zhuang Muxi:

"No wonder people with higher positions often like to go to work more. They don't need to do some low-level work, and it feels good to command others to do work. Just now, a driver was arguing with an old man on the side of the road. Did you see it?"

"Well, the uncle was blocking someone else's way with his car. The taxi driver told him to remember to keep his eyes and brain with him when he went out."

She just finished speaking.

Fan Wumian smiled and said:
"I know that old man. He led a group to visit and inspect the Spring Festival Gala rehearsal last year. A production crew waited for them and put on makeup and changed clothes several hours in advance. Dozens of people were busy running around. When they went out, they were still called "old man" by others. They were so angry that they were fuming and looked dirty."

After understanding what he meant, Zhuang Muxi replied:
"A bunch of people are surrounding you, all wanting to get some resources. When you return to the Beijing Film Academy, you will definitely be much more popular than I am at the Central Conservatory of Music."

Fan Wumian had no plans for any trip until the summer vacation.

In the blink of an eye, his freshman year was almost over, and he suddenly decided to go back to school for a few days to avoid being ridiculed by the media for skipping classes all year round.

After taking a sip of iced lemon tea, Fan Wumian continued:
"Many people came to me for help out of nowhere, hoping to try their luck. After being rejected, they got angry and felt humiliated by me."

"Going back to the Beijing Film Academy to attend classes is really asking for trouble. The job opportunities, fame, wealth and status they want can all be achieved through me. It's better not to have such a welcome."

"On the contrary, it's the fans I met on the street who would make me happy for a long time after signing autographs and taking photos with them. They would go online and praise me for being approachable and not having the airs of a big star."

The number of professional actors graduating from several top art schools each year is not that large, but since most of the seniors cannot find jobs, the number accumulates year after year and becomes quite large.

In addition to a few top art schools, there are hundreds of colleges and universities across the country that have opened acting departments. Some schools enroll only two to three hundred people a year, but very few of them can become well-known stars.

Before being beaten by society, everyone thinks that they will be a lucky person. The reality is that the chances are too rare, and it is highly likely that you will become a dead bone at the feet of others.

On Zhuang Muxi's side, people she knows or doesn't know often ask her to help find filming opportunities or ask her to act as a go-between, hoping to meet more people in the circle who have connections.

She knew that Fan Wumian was deeply annoyed by him and had learned how to politely refuse over time. At this moment, she felt inspired and sent a reply:
"Ami, you probably aren't as happy as you were in Trinity College after you went to college. Many things become distorted once interests are involved, and it's hard to make real friends."

He is not a child, his mental age is more mature than his appearance. Fan Wumian only replied:
"Countless families across the country worship the God of Wealth, but how many people would treat him as a friend and care about how he is doing? They just want to get some benefits for themselves."

".It's a very vivid metaphor."

With Fan Wumian's current status, he was regarded as a "living god of wealth" by his classmates and alumni at Beijing Film Academy. It was difficult for him to have the same relationship with ordinary classmates without any influence from other factors. Since he couldn't integrate into the campus, he simply lay down.

When the dishes were served, the two realized something was wrong. In a plate of stir-fried oysters with ginger and scallions, the oyster meat had piled up like a small mountain, and the amount of Beijing-style shredded pork with sauce had been doubled.

As the boss, Fan Wumian rarely comes to eat, so of course the chef works hard and doesn't care about controlling costs.

Zhuang Muxi had a small appetite to begin with, and she felt full after just a few bites, so Fan Wumian temporarily added a pair of bowls and chopsticks and asked Pu Jiajing to help with the meal.

Pu Jiajing has long been accustomed to this.

She often acts as a third wheel to cover up for Wumian from having dinner alone with someone else, which would cause gossip and scandals if others saw them.

the next day.

When Fan Wumian appeared on the Beijing Film Academy campus.

The news spread like a gust of wind to every corner of Beijing Film Academy in an instant.

In the girls’ dormitory building, countless girls were busy washing their hair, putting on makeup, changing clothes, dressing up beautifully, and guarding in groups where Fan Wumian might appear.

Many sloppy boys also lined up to get their hair cut, eyebrows trimmed, and beards shaved. They changed into clean clothes and transformed themselves into sunny and cheerful young men.

So much so that during class, some teachers noticed something unusual and asked if another film crew had come to the school to select people for auditions.

During last year’s military training, Fan Wumian was just “a little bit awesome”.

Today, he appeared again in the 2005 acting class. He has become a top boss in the eyes of his classmates. His status is higher than that of Huayi’s boss and Hong Kong’s first-line international superstars. He seems to have a layer of golden light invisibly.

The originally lively class suddenly became quiet.

Seeing Fan Wumian sitting next to him, Zhang Xiaofei, who was his classmate, did not dare to say hello. He just forced a smile and said politely, and was so nervous that he straightened his back.

Among classmates.

Yang Mi started to gain some fame and was filming a movie outside, while "little cow" Shi Xian was also selected through the back door and went to the "Alluring Girl Idol Trainee" program, where he performed quite well.

Several people from Beijing Film Academy became famous because of Fan Wumian, and everyone hopes to be the next lucky one.

So after a short while of silence, some classmates would come up to him and try to get close to him, pretending to be calm and starting a conversation, asking why he returned to school, congratulating him on winning the award at the Cannes Film Festival, etc.

The middle-aged male teacher who taught them the theory class was also a little confused.

When he saw Fan Wumian, who didn't get enough sleep yesterday, suddenly dozed off with his hands covering his mouth, he thought his class was too boring, so he quickly raised the volume, threw away the book and started teaching improvisation.

Not only did his classmates value Fan Wumian's resources, but some teachers in the school also did not completely give up their dreams of becoming actors.

If given a choice, who would like to stay in a boring classroom? Rather than cultivating some big stars through teaching, most teachers would rather become big stars themselves.

Fan Wumian gradually realized that something was wrong, and took the initiative to lower his voice and asked Zhang Xiaofei:

"This is Mr. Huang, right? Were you always so exaggerated in your theoretical classes? You even acted like the first emperor of Qin."

Zhang Xiaofei looked at him deeply.

Even though Fan Wumian was sitting next to her, she still felt that he was out of her reach, as if she was dreaming. She lowered her voice and replied:
"That's right, Mr. Huang. His classes were never like this before. They were always boring. It's probably because you came and treated the class like an interview."

"."

Fan Wumian had nothing to say about this.

Come to think of it, getting his support is basically equivalent to winning the first prize of the Double Color Ball Lottery.

Even the Double Color Ball, where the probability of winning is only one in tens of millions, can attract so many moths to pay money to buy it in each issue. The probability of being favored by Fan Wumian is obviously much higher than winning the lottery.

For example, Huang Bo, who had no sense of existence in school before, has become the male lead of "Crazy Racing" in a blink of an eye, and is said to have received a salary of 150 million yuan.

This was the remuneration that the company publicized to the outside world, but in reality, Huang Bo was only given 45%, or RMB.

Even if they take a commission, it is still equivalent to 20 years' income of an ordinary person these days.

If someone who looks like Huang Bo can become famous, no one has doubted Fan Wumian's ability to create stars. Even the school teachers could not resist the huge temptation, let alone a group of ambitious students.

In the school parking lot, a few small notes appeared under the wiper of a Bentley with a license plate of "Yan A-99999".

Some girls even folded up their resumes, put them together with their own photos, and stuffed them into the door handles of their cars.
