Chapter 463: Rarely Staying Up Late to Work Overtime
The news that "My Love from the Star" was about to be broadcast was posted by Fan Wumian himself on Penguin Weibo, and it immediately caused an uproar.

Fan Wumian has just watched one episode of "The Fragrant Sophora Flower in May".

Looking back at the Penguin Weibo, the number of likes has reached 4+ and the number of comments has exceeded a thousand.

It is nearly 10 o'clock in the evening. This data is enough to show that there are really a lot of active users on Weibo. I guess they can't sleep late at night and play on the computer for fun before going to bed.

The mobile version of Penguin Weibo has not been launched yet, mainly because it is not as convenient to use as the mobile version of QQ, and it does not help the company increase revenue, so there is no need to launch it for the time being.

The last TV series starring Fan Wumian was broadcast last year in "The Lonely and Great God".

More than half a year has passed in a blink of an eye, and his countless fans have been looking forward to movies such as "My Love from the Star", "Detective Chinatown 3", and "The Invisible Guest".

Because "The Lonely and Great God" was rebroadcast so many times, a total of 7 mainland TV stations broadcast it during this summer vacation. It was also rebroadcast in Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and Hong Kong, with good ratings. As a result, the drama still brought some revenue to Fan Wumian, and he made a total net profit of more than 2600 million yuan in the past six months.

Even many middle-aged women were bewitched by the leading actor played by Fan Wumian, and lamented that it was no wonder that their own children liked to watch the series, which was much more addictive than period dramas that dealt with trivial matters such as family life.

Under the Weibo post advertising "My Love from the Star", a netizen left a comment:

"I work at a TV station. At the beginning of the month, our department head led a team with people from several other TV stations to the Yanjing branch of Bandit King Media. After watching two episodes of My Love from the Star, everyone went crazy when they came back. They kept asking when the show would be aired and wanted to watch the rest of the plot. The ratings of this show are definitely going to explode, hahaha! Fortunately, I just joined the company and they didn't take me to watch it."

A series of replies followed, asking what the story was like, the specific launch date, etc.

Fan Wumian laughed happily after watching it. This TV series is indeed very attractive.

The first round of broadcasting rights were sold to several satellite TV stations at the highest price allowed by CCTV. In order to compete for young audiences, some TV stations plan to broadcast two episodes every Friday and Saturday to make it easier for students to watch.

The second-round broadcast rights are being sold, and many TV stations have explicitly expressed their desire to purchase them.

The acquisition of Penguin Group shares, plus the payment of land transfer fees for the Shenzhen land, almost drained Fan Wumian's working capital.

In order to recoup losses, a batch of film and television dramas are waiting in line for broadcast.

I originally wanted to put "Wulin Waijia 2" on hold, but it has now started airing, premiered on Guangdong Satellite TV, with an average viewership of over 6% during the summer vacation.

By selling the broadcasting rights of "Wulin Wai Zhuan 2", Shanzei Wang Media earned more than 3500 million in the mainland market, and the copyright of audio-visual products also sold for a full 800 million yuan.

Compared with the average purchase price of less than 15 RMB per episode, the rate of return is so high that it makes peers jealous.

The original producer who sold the copyright of "Wulin Waijia" to Fan Wumian must have regretted it so much that he wanted to bang his head against the wall.

The central bank has set clear limits on the price of purchasing TV dramas. The ceiling is there, and this scale of revenue has almost reached its limit.

There is also a spin-off movie "Wulin Waijiao: The Treasure of Hengshan", which is scheduled to be released on September 9th.

The movie is released on Friday, and people go to work on Saturday, followed by the one-week National Day holiday, which is a particularly good golden period.

"Lost on Journey 2" has been completed, but the first "Lost on Journey" has yet to be released. It was dragged to the Lunar New Year holiday at the end of the year. "The Golden Eyes" may have to wait until next year's May Day holiday to be released.

The production and shooting cycle of film and television dramas has a lag. It often takes one or two years for a project to go from preparation to release or broadcast on TV.

Take "Detective Chinatown" for example. It may have to be released during the summer vacation next year to maximize the profits.

The filming of The Invisible Guest, which was just completed, is quite busy. It is expected to be released before Thanksgiving at the end of the year, and will also take advantage of the Christmas and New Year schedule.

As one of the Hollywood giants, Paramount has produced and released too few films in recent years. It attaches great importance to the cooperation with Fan Wumian and believes that all publicity and promotion channels will be utilized, and the box office will not be too bad.

There's not much to say about the film and television business. It's nothing more than cooking according to recipes and then finding a way to sell them.

The third day after returning from the United States.

The jet lag hasn’t been completely adjusted yet, so Fan Wumian isn’t sleepy for the time being. He opens a document and starts writing a song.

After staring at the screen and thinking for a while, he picked out two easier songs to sing, "Dimple" and "Things", for Yang Mi.

The songs for Jane Zhang are much more difficult, namely "Farewell to Nine Gates Memories", "Red Zhaoyuan", "Big Tianpeng", "Spring Courtyard Snow", "Peach Blossom Promise", "Pipa Song", "Do You Know", "Hard to Refuse", "Goodbye, Just a Stranger", "Ten Thousand Reluctances", and "Can't Wait for the Flowers to Bloom".

Among them, the two songs "Spring Courtyard Snow" and "Nan Que" were originally intended for Zhuang Muxi, but she couldn't sing them to the taste she wanted, so Fan Wumian helped her change them, but there was no problem giving them to Zhang Liangying.

Sit in front of the computer and hesitate for a moment.

Fan Wumian crossed out the song "Da Tianpeng" and prepared to put it in his album and sing it together with "Wukong".

Thinking of creating another mini album for himself, he then wrote "The Other Side of the Forgotten River", "The Gossip of the Prodigal Son", "Drunk in the City", which he had recently recalled, and "Blowing Dreams to Xizhou", for which he had memorized the lyrics and practiced hard in his previous life in order to cooperate with a female colleague in showing off her skills in the bar.

Zhang Liangying made ancient opera singing popular, and Fan Wumian also wants to release a similar ancient opera mini album. The climax of the song "Blowing Dreams to Xizhou" is nice, but the lyrics are really hard to remember. It is the kind of song that makes people confused after listening to it, but the melody feels quite comfortable.

"Wan Lai stopped playing
Listen to Qiu Shui ask the mayfly
The Mysterious Darkness cannot be measured
But why believe that lovesickness is the most gentle
Looking at the flowers and seeing the Hongmeng
Dreaming of you

And the twenty-eight constellations all looked back."

Fan Wumian pondered over it, kept trying to sing it, and it took him more than half an hour to finally come up with it.

Not only do you have to be able to sing, but you also have to understand what it means.

For this purpose, I searched a lot of information on the Internet and made notes next to the lyrics, so that when people ask me about the lyrics in the future, I will not be able to do anything but stare blankly and get caught up in the farce of being a "fake talent" or "hiring someone to write the songs for me".

When I finished my work and looked at the time, I found that it was almost one o'clock in the morning.

It's rare for me to stay up late to work overtime. As expected, time passes very quickly when I'm busy. Fan Wumian took a look at the document he had written and sighed softly.

The main reason is that the stock in my head is almost emptied. Now I write fewer and fewer songs, and they are starting to become "difficult to deliver", and are not as smooth and fluent as before.

Fortunately, with so many representative works, it is not a problem for him to reap the dividends for the next 20 to 30 years by holding concerts. As long as he is willing to spend money, he can also buy some new songs from outside.

Considering that Jane Zhang was planning to accumulate more songs and hold a solo concert to help make money, Fan Wumian prepared a few more songs for her this time.

Just when I was about to turn off the computer, I heard two "ding ding" sounds and a pop-up window showed that Yang Mi had sent a message.

She wrote
——"Boss!!! I'm sorry I just saw this. I worked overtime until midnight today. Thank you for writing a song for me!!!"

“(Cat begging for mercy emoji)”

Fan Wumian drank water and typed with one hand.
——"Come on, you're going to be famous if you work so hard. I've written your song, and I'll let you record it once the music is ready."

In fact, it is completely unclear what drama Yang Mi is filming.

However, as a boss, if he doesn't even know about this kind of thing, it seems that he doesn't care about his artists.

Fan Wumian suddenly had an idea and went to Yang Mi's profile, where he discovered that she frequently uploaded beautiful photos. A few days ago, she mentioned the period drama "Golden Wedding" starring Zhang Guoli, along with several photos of Yang Mi with pigtails.

I vaguely remember that a document from Bandit King Media mentioned that it had invested in the film "Golden Wedding". I guess it was arranged by her agent that she got one of the roles.

The drama is good, but it seems a bit inappropriate for Yang Mi to guest-star in such a drama, and it will do little to help her career.

Considering that Yang Mi, Liu Shishi and others were beginning to gain some popularity but were still a little short of the mark, Fan Wumian began to think about releasing some of the scripts in stock in advance.

During the time when he purchased the Nine Dragon Wall ornaments last year, he asked the screenwriter team to create scripts for "A Little Thing Called First Love", "The Confidence Man", "Day and Night", "Operation Marriage", "ER" and "Love Apartment", which have already been completed one after another.

"The Confidence Man" can be given to Feng Ying'er, Liu Shishi and Yang Mi are suitable for the movie "A Little Thing Called First Love", and "Operation Welfare" can also be given to them.

These are all "S-level productions" within the company, which means "projects that have the potential to become popular nationwide."

As for "Love Apartment", filming has not started yet.

As a funny sitcom, it is easy to make actors famous, but it will also limit the future development of actors like "Wulin Waijiao". It is best to choose some new actors.

Fan Wumian suddenly thought that it seemed appropriate to add a beautiful academic character similar to "Zhuge Dali" in the film and then let Liu Shishi play it.

With so many projects on hand, his actors certainly enjoy the benefits and can always find the right position.

If not, it can be customized and all kinds of resources can be fully utilized.

This makes the artists under Shanzeiwang Media and Shenghuo Meow Meow Agency feel a bit "superior" when they go out and make their way in the circle.

While messaging Yang Mi, I remembered that I had received an oil painting by Zhang Daqian two days ago.

After receiving the gift, you must help if you are busy.

He looked through the filming schedule of Bandit King Media and found that it had been scheduled until 2007, which is the third quarter of next year.

After a simple search, it is planned to let the "rich and beautiful woman" Miss Ying Tian go to the crew of "ER" to play a small nurse or intern with a larger role, and by the way, go to the crew of "The Confidence Man" and "Day and Night Chase" to play the role of a victim.

As a newcomer, it would be bad to force too much praise on him. He feels that these roles are more suitable for Ying Tian.
