Chapter 456 The flower of wealth in the world
The layman looks at the excitement and the insider looks at the doorway.
As for the person who made Ying Tian famous, he is not as magical as the rumors say. His ability can only be considered decent.
If she was really that powerful, there wouldn't be so many people in the circle and the media who dare to bombard this "rich and beautiful woman" so unscrupulously.
When it comes to a small group of truly powerful people, people always stay away from them and dare not even mention them, let alone make fun of them publicly.
The fact that Yingtian has been criticized since her debut is actually enough to explain many problems.
Boss Cen Zheng has been in business for many years. He made some money in his early years and his career was mainly concentrated in the fields of real estate and electronic manufacturing. Later, he founded a film and television culture company. After accidentally meeting Ying Tian, he fell in love with her and spent money to get her a lot of resources.
Originally, as an outsider, Boss Cen did not have enough resources, so he could only find ways to use money to pave the way. It was obviously normal for him to come to Fan Wumian to give gifts and ask for help.
As for the claim that he was related to Wanda in his previous life, it came from the fact that Boss Cen Zheng later joined Wanda and became one of Sicong's father's right-hand men.
Having been in the circle for so many years, Fan Wumian knew a lot of open secrets. Of course, he was aware that a lot of the news was pure rumor, which often became more and more outrageous, leaving even the parties involved confused.
For example, Fan Wumian himself.
A few months ago, some netizens in the mainland even said that their true identity had finally been revealed - the illegitimate son of the head of Zhou Dafu Jewelry Company.
The reason is that Fan Wumian's Repulse Bay mansion is very close to the Zheng family mansion. He also became the spokesperson for Chow Tai Fook Jewelry Company. His career development was too smooth, and his wealth was accumulated at an unimaginable speed.
Even the huge piece of jade bought from old Burma was rumored to be "actually a gift given to him by the head of the Zheng family after he was accepted as a relative."
Compared to the fact that "Silly Old Fan is Fan Wumian's biological father", countless netizens firmly believe this inexplicable post, thinking that it explains a lot of things clearly. They are unwilling to believe that Fan Wumian really relied on himself to achieve such a high achievement in a short period of time.
When you go out, face is given by yourself.
Although fake news like this is a bit stupid, it actually helps Fan Wumian to gain a foothold, so he chose not to clarify it publicly.
And to be honest, he also hopes to change his father to a "billionaire" father, add his name to the will of the head of the Zheng family, one of the four largest families in Hong Kong, and wait for a windfall. Unfortunately, there is no choice in this matter.
If Fan Wumian came to the Zheng family's door with a newspaper containing relevant news, he would be treated as a psychopath and kicked out.
After breakfast.
Fan Wumian asked Pu Jiajing to take Zhang Daqian's "Heavenly Girl Scattering Flowers" and go back to the hotel room together.
Pu Jiajing asked him, "Do you really want to help arrange a role?"
"What else? I've collected all the things. To be honest, I quite like this painting. It's suitable for hanging in the study, tea room, or reception room. The mainland's economy has been developing rapidly, and these celebrity works will also appreciate in value. Do you think I should write a receipt or a contract or something like that, so that they won't come to me for it when they get down and out in the future? You decide whether I should give it to them or not."
It’s not that Fan Wumian is judging others by his own mean character, but this kind of verbal transaction is really not secure enough and cannot be completely secured.
Pu Jiajing smiled and said:
"You can draw up a contract and write that people use this painting as compensation and pay to experience filming with our company's crew."
Fan Wumian replied seriously:
"That won't work. If it's remuneration, I have to pay taxes. Look at what love costs men. Such a good painting by Zhang Daqian is just given away. But you can't say that. What if my work makes that actress famous and she gets one or two endorsement advertisements, I can make back the money I spent."
The resources of the most beautiful woman in the world seem to be top-notch.
However, anyone with a discerning eye will notice that her multiple casting choices do not fit the roles well enough, and it feels like she has to force it. It also indirectly shows that her resources are not that abundant and her room for choice is limited.
The works that were produced with a lot of money seem to be big productions, but in fact they are not good enough. In addition, there were rumors about negative materials about his "background and resources" as soon as he debuted, plus constant negative news, and his personal image and positioning are not clear enough. It is no wonder that his performance is mediocre and he has never become completely popular.
Fan Wumian believes that there are only unsuitable roles, not unsuitable actors. For example, Zuo Ziyan had no acting experience before filming "You Are the Apple of My Eye". However, she deserved the Best Actress Award just for her natural performance, which left a deep impression on countless audiences. Until now, young people often write her in their signatures.
The same goes for Zhuang Muxi.
Her acting skills aren’t actually particularly good, but the scripts tailored for her always fit Zhuang Muxi’s image very well.
After the phenomenal TV series "The Lonely and Great God" was broadcast, she won the favor of countless audiences and won the first place in the list of "Most Popular Actress among Audiences".
In addition to scripts tailored for others, Fan Wumian always selects actors according to the role rather than asking the actors to adapt to the role.
He has enough resources at his disposal, and assigning the right actors to the right roles often produces an effect of 1+1>2.
Many of the characters in Yingtian make people feel seriously lacking in immersion.
With her image of a rich and beautiful woman, she is more suitable for playing roles such as the eldest daughter in urban dramas, female president, ancient rich girl or royal princess.
Later, without any financial sponsors, she took on roles on her own and looked for suitable ones. TV series like "The Glory of Tang Dynasty" and "Sito" immediately gave people the feeling that her "acting skills have improved." The main reason was that her image was very suitable for playing these roles.
Being called "the most beautiful lady in the world", her temperament and image must be impeccable. Fan Wumian was just thinking about it, thinking that others lacked the support of financial sponsors, and if she left the financial sponsor earlier after achieving some success, she might develop better.
In a flash, he put the matter behind him.
After packing my luggage, I turned on my computer and continued to browse the Internet, waiting for Zhuang Muxi to finish filming today so that they could take a plane to Hong Kong together.
After reading recent news, Fan Wumian unexpectedly discovered that the mainland is studying the launch of QDII funds, which means allowing mainland investors to invest in some overseas listed companies through institutions.
This is undoubtedly a huge positive for Hong Kong stocks, as it can absorb some funds from the mainland and push up the share prices of listed companies.
I checked the share price of Penguin Group and it is still only 15.2 Hong Kong dollars. It has been hovering around 15 yuan for a long time.
Fan Wumian suggested that Xiao Ma Ge obtain the agency rights for "World of Warcraft" and develop small games such as Penguin Weibo and QQ Farm. Compared with his previous life, the company's stock price has not changed much.
The reason is simple - Penguin Group tried to enter other Asian markets last year, but ultimately failed.
Losing tens of millions of dollars was only a secondary reason. The factor that really affected investors' confidence was that the failure of going overseas proved that Penguin Group could only develop in the mainland, Hong Kong and Macao, and could not even take over the nearby Formosa Boulevard market.
In the past, it could still promise to enter the Japanese, Korean, Southeast Asian and other markets. However, once it came into contact with American products such as Facebook and MSN, it immediately fell behind and its market share was completely eaten up.
This has led many investors to mistakenly believe that the investment potential of Penguin stocks is limited, and they are worried that after "Silicon Valley" Internet companies such as Facebook, Google, and MSN enter the mainland, they will also defeat Penguin products.
The current stock price can be maintained at around HK$15, thanks to Fan Wumian's heavy holding, which has supported the stock price through the celebrity effect.
Otherwise, Penguin shares might have fallen all the way to around 11 or 12 yuan. After all, businesses such as Penguin Weibo, Penguin Music and the newly launched Tenpay seem to have a high market share, but are still in a loss-making stage.
As an Internet company that has been developing for many years and is listed, having users but failing to bring corresponding profits is equivalent to handing in a poor report card in the eyes of investors. It would be strange if the stock price could rise sharply.
There are many institutions that are bearish on Penguin stocks, so Fan Wumian is naturally not panicking at all. As long as the stock price does not fall to the point where his positions are liquidated and the bank does not forcibly withdraw his loans, everything else will be fine.
After studying the recent trend of Penguin stocks, he checked the share price of Sanyao Heavy Industry and found that compared with the purchase price, the increase has nearly doubled.
The reason for the increase is that the revenue in the first two quarters of this year increased significantly, which was 105% compared with the same period last year.
In the forum, a large number of people were busy thanking him, saying that it was because of Fan Wumian's investment that they paid attention to Sanyao Heavy Industry and then bought this magical stock.
