Chapter 452 Mr. Fan is here

Anyone who has stayed in the local area for a period of time.

You will find that Mr. Qu, the "King of Hengdian", does not actually make money from the film and television entertainment industry. Magnetic materials and pharmaceutical products are the two most profitable businesses of his group.

Building a film and television city and getting involved in the film and television entertainment industry were new projects that Mr. Qu started when he was in his sixties and started his own business again.

By providing free filming locations for film crews, it has driven the development of surrounding industries, made this small town colorful, successfully established its reputation, and received strong support from the government.

The strength is obvious to all, and it is no wonder that Hengdian Film Group has an independent status in the entertainment industry, making people in the industry dare not offend this company easily.

Now there are many Hong Kong film crews that come here specifically to shoot scenes. With the help of local film crews, extras, props, etc., it helps to save costs and shorten the shooting cycle. The whole model is similar to that of Hollywood.

Fan Wumian just checked into the VIP Hotel last night, and this morning the news spread quickly throughout Hengdian.

The hotel manager specifically reported the matter to his superiors, and the matter eventually reached the ears of Mr. Qu, the chairman of the group.

Fan Wumian's celebrity status alone is obviously not worth the head of the "business empire" making a fuss about, but he is also a wealthy man with a personal net worth of billions of Hong Kong dollars, so it is necessary to be polite to him.

Thinking about the people under my command in the future, they will probably have more dealings with the management of the film and television city, so visiting the dock in advance will help avoid some troubles. Plus, I just happen to need a drink to help me sleep and adjust to the jet lag as soon as possible.

Fan Wumian thought for a moment and replied to Pu Jiajing with a message that only said: "OK, tell me the time and place."

Not long after I sent the text message, there was a knock on the door.

Pu Jiajing asked: "Boss? Are you still sleeping?"

Getting up and opening the door for her, Fan Wumian asked listlessly:
"How many hours did you sleep at night? The first day of jet lag is always the worst."

"Fortunately, I've only slept for more than three hours since the plane landed, and I was woken up by a call from the hotel front desk. I may have to take a day off today."

Because of lack of sleep, Pu Jiajing's brain was almost unable to work. She almost forgot what she wanted to say. After two seconds of confusion, she said:

"Oh, the waiter told me that many people came downstairs and wanted to visit you. Brother Hu, who played in The Chinese Paladin, and Wang Baoqiang from our company are here. In addition, there are many local actors, directors, and screenwriters."

Fan Wumian has long been numb to similar things:
"According to the theory of six degrees of separation, 'any two people can establish a connection through at most six intermediaries', I am at a great disadvantage. People often criticize me without knowing what I am doing. I am tired of it."

As a public figure, your every move is exposed under the spotlight. When you go out for a walk, you will be surrounded by people asking for photos and autographs.

It feels a bit novel at first, but living like this for months and years is really stressful. Not to mention taking the girls out shopping, even if you fart outside, you have to look around first to avoid being on the hot topic list.

For example, Yang Mi, because a sheep bent down and smelled her feet, the rumor about her "smelly feet" has been popular for more than ten years and is still a hot topic.

Pu Jiajing's eyes were dull as he spoke:

"It's useless if you don't become a celebrity. Don't forget that you are also very famous as a businessman."

Glancing at her, Fan Wumian said with a smile:

"Hurry back to your room and go to sleep. Unplug the phone and turn off your cell phone. There are many kind people in Hengdian who want to make friends with me. I don't think they can use you."

Pu Jiajing said "hmm" and turned away, fearing that he would be assigned some other tasks.

Upon hearing that Wang Baoqiang and Hu Ge were coming to visit, Fan Wumian went downstairs to call them and went to the filming site of "My Brother is Shunliu" together.

Sitting in the car now.

Wang Baoqiang made small talk and asked casually:
"Boss, how long are you staying in Hengdian? How about I organize a party tonight and treat you to a meal? Last month, a company that sells mosquito coils paid 160 million to hire me as a spokesperson. I am really rich now."

After hearing this, Brother Hu just wanted to laugh.

He muttered to himself that telling Fan Wumian that he was rich was just like showing off a few coins in front of the living God of Wealth.

Fan Wumian lowered his head and replied to Zuo Ziyan's message, smiling and saying:
"I have already made arrangements for tonight. Mr. Qu from Hengdian International Group has asked me to have dinner with him. I don't know yet what he wants to talk to me about, and I'm afraid it may not be convenient with too many people around. After I ask about the situation, I'll call you two to go together if necessary, so that it won't be too deserted and not lively enough." Although Brother Hu became famous after filming "The Chinese Paladin", his resources were mediocre and he couldn't get in touch with powerful circles.

Hear the words.

He looked at Fan Wumian with surprise:

"The boss of this company is really powerful. I heard someone mention it during dinner. They said that Mr. Qu had a net worth of 27 billion RMB a few years ago, ranking 8th on the domestic rich list."

"Yeah, that's normal. You can see it from these film and television bases. They lend them to the crew for filming for free, but they can't make much money just from ticket sales."

Fan Wumian then asked Wang Baoqiang: "How is your drinking capacity?"

"You've found the right person to drink with me. I've practiced martial arts since I was a child, so I can easily drink two or three kilograms of liquor!"

".Just show your respect for him. Boss Qu is old, so don't make him drunk. I may not call you for the time being. Let's talk about it in the evening."

Without waiting for Fan Wumian to ask.

Hu Ge himself said first:
"It may be difficult for me to drink with you. I will be drunk to the point of passing out after two liang of white wine or three glasses of red wine."

".It's fine if you don't drink. Drinking is harmful to your health."

Hearing this, Brother Hu felt lost and envied those people who were born with a good alcohol tolerance, unlike himself, who would easily hinder their future.

Although they are all in the entertainment industry, there are huge differences between circles.

At least in mainland China, there are very few people in the entertainment industry who only regard Fan Wumian as an artist. The first identities that come to mind are "major shareholder of Penguin Group", "boss of Bandit King Media", etc.

In the crew of "My Brother is Shunliu", someone shouted, "Mr. Fan is here!"

Followed by.

The eyes of the extras dressed as little Baga immediately brightened up, while several supporting actors were at a loss and stood up hurriedly to straighten their clothes.

Fortunately, there are not many actresses in the group. I believe that the crew of "The Legend of the Ming Palace" where Zhuang Muxi is located has already started competing for beauty today.

"My Brother is Shunliu", the original drama tells the story of a soldier with superb marksmanship who is therefore reused and makes great military achievements. It still continues Wang Baoqiang's grassroots counterattack style.

However, when creating the outline, Fan Wumian felt that it was a little lacking in interest and the plot was not attractive enough, especially not to young people.

So he changed it slightly.

The biography of Wang Baoqiang was changed to say that he was sent to Shaolin Temple to become a monk when he was young, and returned to the village 10 years later, where he found that all the people in the village, young and old, had been burned to death. He angrily signed up to join the army.

Because he was short, not smart enough, and lacked any special skills, he was only assigned to the kitchen team.

But because of an accident, he showed a talent for throwing grenades, and he almost never missed. He said that he learned it in the Shaolin Temple. Then he was pulled to practice sniping. He managed to seize a sniper rifle made in the United States and killed a high-ranking gangster from an island country.

It can be said that except for the title, the entire TV series has been changed beyond recognition. The screenwriter specially added some jokes to make the style a little more relaxed.

Don’t be fooled by the fact that once you turn on the TV, you will find that there are a lot of TV dramas with this theme. Since the audience is very broad, it is still quite profitable if they are well made.

Come to the crew.

After saying hello to the actors, I watched the newly edited pilot episode. Wang Baoqiang looked a bit dull, but the plot was so chaotic and interesting that it was more interesting than I had imagined.

I heard from the producer that a staff member from CCTV called last week to inquire about the filming situation.

Fan Wumian suddenly thought, what if CCTV tasted the sweetness of "Drawing Sword" and wanted to buy out his drama at a decent price? If he refused, it would be too disrespectful, but if he didn't refuse, he would only suffer a loss in silence.

It's not that the price offered by CCTV is low. Many film and television companies are willing to cooperate with its TV stations. It's just that Fan Wumian's situation is special. He has already made a name for himself and has a huge fan base. He can make a lot more by selling the broadcast rights himself.
