Chapter 416 Los Angeles
Chapter 416 Los Angeles
Regarding the news that Miss Chiyoko went abroad to study and found a sugar daddy a few years ago and worked in a Ginza club, Fan Wumian was originally skeptical and wondered if she had offended someone.
I think this girl looks noble and she can easily pick up a few rich men to cover her daily expenses. She doesn't seem like the kind of person that people say she is on the Internet.
however.
The day after the decision to fire her.
Chiyoko appeared at his doorstep wearing a U-neck dress, crying and bowing to beg Fan Wumian for help. The half-covered scene was quite interesting.
The black hollow lace is matched with a silver kitten-shaped pendant, and the bending angle is just right to ensure that Fan Wumian can have a clear view.
Of course, this little trick can't be hidden from a veteran like him.
While I was enjoying the sight, I also felt that one should not judge a person by his appearance. Miss Chiyoko is indeed not as simple as she seems, and the news in the Japanese media is probably not groundless.
In Fan Wumian's eyes, the commercial potential of the Allure Girls group is worth at least 400 to 500 million RMB. How could he go through the pressure and let her go just for a little benefit?
So they chatted for a few words in English through the bronze door, and Fan Wumian did not let her in.
He made an excuse that the official censorship agency in the mainland did not allow Chiyoko to continue to appear in variety shows, completely shirking his responsibility, and took the initiative to leave her contact information, suggesting that there should be an opportunity for cooperation again.
Pu Jiajing, who had not yet completely lost hope in pure love, had the word "lecher" clearly written on her face.
at this time.
Fan Wumian put his hands in his pockets and walked leisurely towards the front door of his house, saying calmly:
"Don't look at me like that. I have no intention of taking advantage of anyone. If I had just beckoned my finger, Chiyoko would have accompanied me to visit the bedroom. There is no need to do this."
"I want her number to prevent her from leaking some true or false news to the outside world, which will affect the future of other trainees. Now Chiyo thinks she has hope with me, so I guess she won't be so stupid as to fight to the death."
"In fact, from another perspective, her appearance and figure are indeed suitable for being an actress. This time she has become a celebrity because of the gossip. Maybe after the collapse of her reputation, she can still make a name for herself in the island country."
Pu Jiajing was very dissatisfied after hearing this. She felt that Fan Wumian praised Chiyoko only because she was pretty. She said:
"What kind of thing? Are you going to make some pornographic movies that men like to watch?"
Fan Wumian suddenly thought, no wonder Chiyoko looked familiar, she looked about 60% similar to Takizawa Luola, then continued:
"You know what. If she ventures into the dark entertainment industry, I'm afraid there will be few people who can compete with her. She will have a chance to set a new record in DVD sales."
"But it's better not to let her get desperate, lest the whole image of a beautiful girl be dragged down by Chiyoko."
"It is indeed my fault this time. I did not do a good job of background checking on the trainees beforehand. I can't blame the production team entirely. Cross-border investigations are inherently troublesome."
Pu Jiajing continued to ask:
"Many of the trainees you selected are not simple people. For example, Baby Yang is dating a handsome actor from Hong Kong. People are saying that she has stayed until now because Mandou Modeling Agency made an early appointment for her."
".Look at it from a positive perspective, at least there is traffic and topic first. Fans usually only like one or two members of a team. It is better to be a black and red than to have no presence at all."
From the boss's perspective, Fan Wumian looks at problems differently from ordinary people.
For example, Chiyo, who came to the door without any reason, if her dark history could not be washed away, her commercial value might be higher than that of Yui Aragaki after a round of overwhelming saturation publicity.
On the other hand, Yui Aragaki is only a little popular in the Japanese market, and is relatively marginalized in the two sides of the Taiwan Strait. As the fifth episode of "Alluring Girls Idol Producer" was broadcast, the most profound impression left by the audience was still making sukiyaki for other members.
After receiving Fan Wumian's instructions, the program team quickly issued an apology statement that seemed sincere but was actually bland, saying:
"Public statement to media friends and the general public:
When the program team received media reports yesterday afternoon, we were deeply shocked and followed them closely.
1. After friendly negotiations with Chiyoko, the program team decided to cancel the temporary contract with her. Further information will be announced through Penguin Weibo.
2. All members of the program team are deeply saddened by this and have failed the expectations of the audience. In the future, we will strictly control the quality of the program and welcome supervision from the outside world.
3. The program director and producer sincerely apologize and reflect deeply on the use of public resources.
As soon as the news came out.
The focus of the outside world is only on Chiyoko's termination of the contract with the program team, which indirectly proves that the rumors about Sugar Daddy and Ginza are true. The Internet is in an uproar, which is a blessing in disguise for this variety show, attracting a large number of passers-by to pay attention to this program.
Just as summer vacation was approaching, several satellite TV stations began to contact us, hoping to buy the second-round broadcasting rights.
at the same time.
The first round broadcast rights of "Running Man", which has already been filmed and fully produced, were bought at a price of 20 RMB per episode.
Shows like "Wulin Waijia", "The Lonely and Great God", and "Home with Kids Season 1 and Season 2" also achieved good returns.
Fan Wumian is busy raising funds.
After receiving the news, it was temporarily decided to release "Wulin Waijia 2", that is, from the 41st to the 80th episode. The first round of broadcasting rights were also calculated at the maximum price, and the requirement was to pay the entire deposit in one lump sum.
"Wulin Waijia 1" was just released last year, and major TV stations have not forgotten how popular it is. In just two days, it attracted six satellite TV stations, and the second and third round of broadcast rights were also booked in advance, with a total of 3640 million yuan sold.
Compared with the huge amount of funds used to acquire Penguin shares, this amount of money is a drop in the bucket. However, seeing that the money on the books is about to be drained, it would always be better to have more liquidity.
As funds continued to flow into the trading account opened at Bank of China (Hong Kong), the feeling of taking too big a step and getting hurt became more and more obvious.
The total loan amount of US$6 million was obtained from five banks including the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China in Shenzhen, Bank of China in Hong Kong, and Standard Chartered Bank. The average annual interest payment was more than US$2400 million.
It's like staying at home and doing nothing while a mansion on a mountaintop burns down.
Signing documents and negotiating business every day, a few days passed in a busy manner.
After signing the contract with South Africa's Naspers Group, it was agreed that all payments would be settled within one month, and compensation would be paid at a daily interest rate of 1% in case of breach of contract.
This is equivalent to a one-day delay, which means an additional payment of 120 million US dollars. Fan Wumian can only urge the bank to release the loan as quickly as possible.
In this situation.
On the day that "A Quiet Place 2" was released, Zuo Ziyan happened to start her summer vacation.
After Fan Wumian received the batch of old items, he packed them all and sent them to the Yanjing Museum. Then he packed up and set off for Los Angeles, USA.
------------
The production of "The Invisible Guest" was prepared by Paramount Pictures, so Fan Wumian didn't have to worry about it.
The director was Barry Levinson, who had directed "A Perfect Thief" starring Bruce Willis, Cate Blanchett and others, and had won the Oscar for Best Director in 1988 for "Rain Man".
The plot of "The Invisible Guest" is not complicated, but it requires solid directorial skills to make the many reversals stand out.
Fan Wumian arrived in Hollywood first and promised Zuo Ziyan that he would pick her up.
However, due to the jet lag, when he woke up, Zuo Ziyan was already sitting beside the bed, muttering angrily:
"You kept saying you would pick me up, but you ended up sleeping worse than a pig. If your assistant hadn't notified the hotel to send a car, I don't know how long I would have had to wait at the airport."
"."
Fan Wumian was still confused, and almost called her the wrong name in his daze. The words came to his lips but were swallowed back. He immediately woke up and laughed awkwardly:
"Congratulations on your summer vacation. I was going to pick you up, but I accidentally overslept. Look on the bright side, we'll be together for the next two months. Come and give me a hug."
Zuo Ziyan slapped his hand away and said sleepily:
"I didn't sleep well on the plane, so let me catch up on some sleep first. Also, my parents miss me and may come to visit me in a few days. You have to be careful then and don't let anything slip."
"why?"
"Because my parents are very satisfied with you now, I'm afraid they will ask a lot of questions and urge you to get married."
