Chapter 436 Becoming Popular in the United States
Chapter 436 Becoming Popular in the United States
The next day, filming continued.
During the period, there was a plot where Fan Wumian spent money out of his own pocket to create an alibi, which unexpectedly reminded him of an Internet celebrity named "Mr Beast".
If he remembered correctly, this internet celebrity who became famous through all kinds of unbelievable money-burning videos was one of the bloggers with the most fans in the world. He earned tens of millions of dollars a year and had accumulated a fortune of hundreds of millions of dollars.
By giving money everywhere, many passers-by see Mr. Monster and treat him as a living God of Wealth. He is so popular.
Occasionally, good ideas pop up in the minds of ordinary people.
Unfortunately, due to lack of capital for investment, or being too busy with work to spare the time, one dares not take risks easily, and thus misses an opportunity quietly.
Fan Wumian is different.
He has both money and a team to help manage various businesses, so it was natural for him to think that he might as well set up a company specifically to follow Mr. Monster's path to rise and help him gain further traffic and attention in the international market.
While making money through social platforms, you can also sell some goods, or advertise the works of Myth Film Studio, and indirectly earn higher profits.
In the two sides of the Taiwan Strait and Hong Kong, Fan Wumian has almost no way to advance, and his career in the entertainment industry is like his head hitting the ceiling.
In the international market, his influence is not even as great as that of some Victoria's Secret supermodels and Hollywood's first- and second-tier actors. Many people feel that Mythology Film Studios is more like a foundry that helps Paramount Pictures produce its works.
This makes Fan Wumian's situation in Hollywood a bit awkward, as if he is taking advantage of Paramount's power to bully others.
Most Americans know the big-nosed Hong Kong star Jack Long, but only a small number of young people know Fan Wumian. Many passers-by who have heard his English songs don’t even know that he sang those songs.
It was just an accident that Jack Long became popular in the United States.
Fan Wumian felt that with movies like "A Quiet Place" and "The Invisible Guest", he could at best become a decent second-tier star.
If one wants to take a shortcut and become famous quickly in a short period of time, the best way is to find another way through online social platforms. So after careful consideration, he felt that this business was indeed worth doing.
Then he thought that if he showed up in person and gave money away on the streets of the United States, he would certainly be scolded by fans in mainland China, who would accuse him of being unfair.
therefore.
Fan Wumian soon thought that maybe he could invite Britney Spears to collaborate and let her play the role of "Ms. Monster".
This will not only not hinder him from obtaining the desired profits and traffic, but also divert the public's attention, help Britney find something to do, and make her image in the outside world more interesting.
Britney Spears treats him as a friend, and Fan Wumian feels that he should return the favor. Besides, her popularity and number of fans are already very high, so he can save a lot of initial investment. Overall, it is still very good.
Fearing that his good ideas might be stolen by others, Fan Wumian did not dare to cooperate with the local American team. He did not announce anything for the time being, but quietly transferred a few employees from Hong Kong City to set up the company's framework first.
It is night on the west coast of the United States, but it is already morning in the port city.
Zuo Ziyan was talking to Fan Wumian on the phone and said with a smile:
"No wonder you specifically greeted me. After the Hong Kong media got wind of the news, they suspected that you were dating Britney. You even went to Universal Studios? I want to go there too."
Fan Wumian said:
"I'll take you there next time. It's actually pretty boring. The American media is more focused on Avril's marriage. I'm grateful to her for helping me share the attention. Otherwise, some reporters might come to the set to block me."
Zuo Ziyan briefly explained what she had done today, and then asked:
"When will the crew wrap up filming? You will be back in Hong Kong by then, right? I also want to go and see your new yacht. I can see your boat from home."
"Okay, it will probably be finished in a few days. When I get back, I'll ask a driver to take you out to sea for a ride."
"No need to look for it, I can ask my cousin to help. They are all yachts anyway, so the driving should be similar."
After listening.
Fan Wumian subconsciously thought about it a few more times and felt that it was necessary to form a team himself, otherwise he would not be able to bring Zhuang Muxi, Feng Ying'er and others on board.
The phone hasn't been hung up yet.
A pop-up window appeared on the laptop, showing a message from Yang Mi, asking him
——"Hi, Boss, are you in China recently? Counselor Shangguan Lan called me this morning and said she wanted to invite you to shoot a school promotional video with us. If you don't have time, forget it. I can find a reason to turn it down for you."
With his head tilted and his phone between his legs, Fan Wumian was chatting with Zuo Ziyan while replying to Yang Mi's message:
——"I probably can't go back because the new movie hasn't finished shooting yet, but I can shoot a video and edit it in. Just send the script to me."
QQ displays "Type in progress."
Soon. Yang Mi replied: "That's fine too. Boss, you're really busy lately. Is America interesting?"
He ends the conversation with a question, which clearly shows that he doesn't want to end the topic easily. Liu Shishi and others also like to do this when they occasionally visit him.
Being teased by the popular young actresses in the previous life must have been quite pleasant. Fan Wumian continued to reply:
——"I can only say it's okay. If you can improve your spoken English, I'll have a chance to arrange for you to play a role."
Yang Mi——
"Okay! Thank you, boss!!"
"Speaking of which, our classmate Shi Xian has been selected for the Allure Girls group, right? She told me that the show has been recorded, but the last episode has not been aired yet. She said that the song you helped write is very good."
Making an excuse that he was sleepy, Fan Wumian hung up the phone and continued to reply to Yang Mi:
"We did let her join the group because there are many netizens who like her and she is also good at singing and dancing. I didn't write the song, I only conceived the climax, and the rest was left to the experts in the music studio to play freely. I don't know what the final effect will be yet."
I've been so busy lately that I have no time to spare.
He never paid much attention to the affairs of the Allure Girls group. He only took time to watch the show online and decided on the remaining two pure amateur members, both from the mainland.
As early as when this reality show just started filming, Fan Wumian contacted the Sapphire Blue Records Studio and gave the climax sections of songs such as "Nobody", "Sexy Love", "Gee", "Day By Day" and "Say a Wish", or just hummed a melody, to the gold medal producers to write lyrics and compose music.
It was just produced at the beginning of the month, and Fan Wumian has also listened to a part of it, but it cannot be said to be 100% stable. If the newly formed girl group finishes singing and finds that the effect does not meet his expectations, some songs may be cut.
Yang Mi was full of confidence in him and immediately replied
——"The songs you wrote for Jane Zhang and Zhuang Muxi are all very nice. I've never seen you perform poorly, so there will be no problem. Next time you think of a good song, could you please write one for me, such as singing the theme song of a TV series yourself?"
Only the crying child gets the milk.
The company has more and more artists under its umbrella, and it is easy to lose some opportunities by being pretentious. Yang Mi believes that she has made some contribution to the company by getting several small endorsements in succession.
Fan Wumian jokingly replied: "I'm tired now, so I'll stop writing and retire from the world."
"???"
Yang Mi continued to reply
——"I suspect you are questioning my singing skills. Although I am not as good as Jane Zhang, I can still sing some simple songs."
Fan Wumian continued typing: "Words are not enough, how about video?"
".Okay, wait a moment, I'll prepare the headphones."
In 2006, laptops with cameras were just starting to become popular, and cameras were mostly used for taking selfies. Online videos had not yet become popular on a large scale.
After a few minutes.
Yang Mi sent a video invitation via QQ. Fan Wumian moved the mouse and clicked "Accept", but it took a while before he saw her.
Yang Mi was seen wearing a white tank top with wide shoulder straps, revealing a two or three centimeter cleavage. She had a middle-parted hairstyle and looked a little childish.
Seeing Fan Wumian smiling, Yang Mi got a little nervous and asked:
"What do you want to listen to? How about 'Learn to Meow'? Or 'Once Upon a Time'? The key is too high for me to sing."
Fan Wumian replied:
"It's all right. Pick something you're good at. It's been such a short time since we last met, and you seem to have had a secondary growth spurt."
