Chapter 410 The little thing is quite cute
After the experts from the museum had identified the shroud, Fan Wumian readily repurchased it.
Tickets for the special exhibition hall are already on pre-sale, in time for its trial operation ahead of the peak summer vacation season.
At that time, 35% of the ticket revenue will be divided between him and Zhuang Muxi, and the rest of the security, water, electricity, daily maintenance and other expenses will be borne solely by the museum.
In order to show it to the public as soon as possible.
Fan Wumian, who planned the "Ten Thousand Souls Banner Incident", gave up the idea of sending the shroud for consecration and only proposed hanging it in the display cabinet and placing seven golden cups in front of it according to the layout of the Big Dipper.
As for why it was placed there, he couldn't explain it, leaving it to the tourists to guess.
Anyway, netizens have rich imaginations, and there will always be people who can make up the story with their imaginations.
the other side.
Earlier, Fan Wumian wanted to invite Master Wu Guanzhong to draw a new corporate logo for Bandit King Media, and for this purpose he gave the role of the male protagonist's master in "The Golden Eyes" to Master Wu.
Almost two months after his guest appearance, Master Wu finally finished the painting and notified Fan Wumian to send someone to pick it up.
Since it is planned to be hung in the lobby of an office building, it would look petty if it were too small, so the painting measures 2 meters long and 2 meters wide, which is larger than the beds in many people's homes.
Fan Wumian was still in Hong Kong and had looked at the photos in advance.
I found that it was not a 1:1 restoration, but some ink and wash techniques were used to create this oil painting. The panda carrying two axes looks both cute and domineering.
now.
Fan Wumian was sitting in the study, staring at the photo on the computer screen, distracted, and said in a tangled tone:
"Master Wu's work "Parrot Paradise" was sold at an auction for more than 30 million RMB. How much should I give him as a reward?"
Zhuang Muxi asked in confusion:
"Before asking him to start writing, these things were not discussed?"
"It's not something I'm personally responsible for. Maybe Master Wu is here to make a cameo appearance in my crew, so it's not convenient for me to talk about money straight away."
Fan Wumian smacked his lips:
"Would 200 million be too stingy? It should be okay. The price of an original work is much higher. This is just a replica, but the size is so large. Master Wu is old, so he must have put a lot of thought into creating it."
With a thought in mind, Zhuang Muxi said:
"Didn't you carve a plaque for Huazai using jadeite last time? Huazai seemed to like it very much and has been wearing it at recent events. After you cut the big jade king, he took a photo and congratulated you. How about giving a piece to that painter as well?"
"Hey, this is a good idea. I almost forgot that I just cut a piece of violet at Sihui and asked someone to carve a three-legged incense burner. I took out a lot of scraps and pigeon eggs. They are still quite valuable."
It’s not that Fan Wumian is reluctant to use the materials of the Great Jade King.
Because they had already found a third-party company to conduct the valuation and Bank of China Hong Kong had already completed the preliminary procedures, it had given Fan Wumian a loan amount of up to HK$10 billion. Taking out a piece of it now would cause a lot of trouble out of thin air.
While waiting for the wire cutting to be completed, Fan Wumian also bought a piece of rough stone. When he cut it open, he found that it was full of high-ice violets.
After customizing the small incense burner, there will be a lot of materials left, which are suitable for making hand-held items, bracelets, pigeon egg pendants and other items to give away.
Just do it.
Thinking that it is difficult for a work of art to have a specific value, Fan Wumian also designed a handle himself. After pondering for a long time, he drew a scissors hand sign.
In my previous life, I practiced how to draw storyboards, and I revised three versions. Finally, a unique handle design was created.
Zhuang Muxi remained silent the entire time until she heard Fan Wumian start to brag about himself, then she opened her mouth and said:
"It looks a bit like a cartoon character's hand. It's a cute little thing. I like it too."
Fan Wumian immediately told:
"That's easy. I'll design two earrings for you in the same style, plus a bracelet."
The two of them were looking for a new daughter-in-law who wanted this and that because her family was not well off.
Zhuang Muxi is different. She has a strong ability to make money. Last year, she ranked third on the list of Chinese entertainment actresses, second only to Zhang Ziyi and Gong Li.
Given their close relationship, asking for some small things was no big deal. Pu Jiajing's assistant was called in to explain everything, and it was decided to give a check for 100 million RMB, plus a violet pigeon egg, a hand-held ornament, and a seal.
The total market price of the three items, including materials and workmanship, is worth about one to eight hundred thousand. Since the handle piece in the shape of the scissors hand sign was designed by Fan Wumian himself, the value of the whole set easily doubled.
The painters' fame is valuable, and Fan Wumian's fame is also not low, and both can increase their added value through the star effect.
Finish this matter.
Zhuang Muxi was sitting on the bed reading a book. The sunlight shone on her face. Not only was her skin glowing white, but her whole temperament was simply amazing.
Even Fan Wumian couldn't bear it and silently locked the study door.
After clearly hearing a "click", Zhuang Muxi immediately understood. Although she didn't quite understand why he had such an idea on a whim, she had nothing to do anyway.
Everyone is busy next time, so save some while you have time so you can savor it later.
------------
This year.
Many overseas Chinese still feel superior to others, but they cannot look down on Fan Wumian.
Before he knew it, Fan Wumian's total net worth was heading towards the "super rich" threshold, which is an internationally recognized standard, generally meaning "having a net worth of US$1 billion."
Not to mention that he earned all this money by himself. His amazing achievements in both the entertainment and investment circles are bound to attract attention.
Some time ago.
A Chinese American living in Queens, New York, laughed so hard after watching "Nonsense". He happened to be resting in bed with a broken bone at home, so he tried to make English subtitles and posted the first episode of the show on Youtube.
Unexpectedly, due to the bizarre plot, it successfully attracted the attention of countless foreigners. In just a few days, this Chinese American gained more than 100,000 fans, and many comments under the video urged him to update.
This made the UP host excited, and he didn't care about copyright and continued to move the remaining content to the Youtube platform.
Before he finished production, other UP hosts who wanted to take advantage of the popularity also began to promote the drama, emphasizing that it was conceived and filmed by Fan Wumian and that it had been viewed over 4 million times in Asia.
While netizens were busy watching the fun, people in the circle had other thoughts.
The day after Zhuang Muxi returned to Gangcheng, Fan Wumian, who had been completely drained again, just wanted to rest quietly at home.
It was a little after 9 o'clock in the evening, and I was lying on the big bed getting ready to go to sleep when my cell phone suddenly rang.
See the note "Tom Lee".
Fan Wumian was stunned for a moment, wondering who this guy was, and then he remembered that he had dealt with him once before. He seemed to be a department head in charge of the Hollywood Mythology Film Studio.
I didn't rush to speak after answering the phone. The person on the other end asked in slightly broken Mandarin:
"Mr. Fan? I'm Li Ming, the operations director of Shinhwa Film Studio. I just arrived at the company and I need to discuss something with you."
Hearing this name, Fan Wumian finally matched the name with the photo. He had never been to the Hollywood Myth Film Studio since its establishment. He had already invested several million dollars in start-up capital and was busy forming a filming team, hiring Hollywood actors, booking schedules, purchasing equipment, etc.
"Ah~ I remember you, what's the matter?"
"It's like this. A few people from Disney Group came and wanted to work with us to shoot a movie similar to "The Loser". It would be best if it was low-budget, with a total investment of less than 2000 million US dollars, and our studio would be in charge."
Li Ming is in his thirties and his parents live in Singapore.
After graduating from the UCLA film school, he worked at MGM for a few years and then moved to ABC TV.
At the beginning of last year, he quit his job and joined an independent film crew. He was unable to make ends meet and found that he could not make it any longer, so he looked for a job again and started working for Fan Wumian.
After working in Hollywood for so long, this is the first time that Li Ming has encountered a large company actively inviting Asian directors to customize movies, so he feels that his future is bright.
After listening to what he said.
Fan Wumian was thinking that a budget cap of 2000 million US dollars was actually only defined as a low-cost film. It turned out that it was more comfortable to work in Hollywood.
The fact that big companies found him doesn’t mean that he has a really high status, it’s just because he can help others make money.
Due to the box office success of "Time Trap", it has gained a good reputation.
