Chapter 487: Just Like Being Soaked in a Vinegar Vinegar
Chapter 487: It's like being soaked in vinegar
Chen Yisen's current influence and popularity are much weaker than Fan Wumian's.
He could only sell 30,000 to 40,000 albums in Hong Kong. He was not as popular in mainland China. His classic song "Ten Years" has been listened to by at least 200 to 300 million people.
On the other hand, even though Fan Wumian released a Mandarin album in Hong Kong, the sales of his last album in Hong Kong exceeded 24 copies. The sales of other singers' physical albums were declining, but only he managed to reverse the decline, which shows how popular he is.
The difficult situation in Hong Kong led Chen Yisen to shift the focus of his career to the mainland, which made his peers envious.
After all, the mainland market is much larger than that of Hong Kong. Even if there are counterfeit and pirated albums everywhere, as long as there is a small number of people who support genuine products, they can still earn more than in Hong Kong.
Moreover, after gaining popularity through copycat albums, singers can also hold concerts and take on advertising endorsements, and also make a lot of money.
Fan Wumian also made a huge sum of money in a short period of time by singing Mandarin songs.
From the sale of albums, mobile phone ringtones and the authorization of 15 concerts, his total revenue has exceeded 6 million RMB, mainly because his mobile phone ringtones are so popular, with total sales exceeding hundreds of millions.
In order to raise funds to buy 28.5% of Penguin shares, he had previously packaged all the previous ringtone copyrights and cashed out 2 million yuan from the four major operators at one time.
In addition to the well-known China Mobile, China Unicom and China Telecom, there is now a "Huaxia Netcom Company". Recently, it has been reported that it has poor profits and is about to merge with China Unicom.
Selling the copyrights at one time may seem like selling the goose that lays the golden eggs, but considering that Fan Wumian can make more money from the cashed-out funds, and the room for appreciation of Penguin shares is far greater than that of mobile phone ringtone copyrights, it is actually quite cost-effective.
As the resident singer tonight, Eason Chan took the stage to sing a Cantonese version of "Ten Years", also called "Same Time Next Year", which is considered one of his famous songs.
The reaction from the audience was not as lively as when Fan Wumian took the stage, but everyone was still very supportive and gave a lot of cheers.
After returning to the backstage, drinking some water and cooling down in front of an electric fan, Fan Wumian took a rest. Then he changed into a short-sleeved shirt with a Sanxingdui golden mask pattern on it, and went on stage again, holding a guitar and sang "Sheng Sheng Man".
He doesn't have many Cantonese songs, so they are divided into three themes in total, namely Cantonese songs, Mandarin songs and English songs.
Considering that this is a Hong Kong city, Cantonese and English songs have a wider audience, so putting the Mandarin song segment in the middle can help avoid a "tiger start but weak finish" that would affect the rhythm of the entire concert.
offstage.
Li Jiaxin thought about her husband who continued to live a life of debauchery after marriage and thought he had kept it a secret from her. She secretly sighed that it would have been better if she had been born 15 years later.
Even if she has to use all her tricks, she must win Fan Wumian over. This way, she can not only marry into a wealthy family, but also have a handsome husband, which is obviously more perfect than now.
Since she got older, her appearance has begun to decline, the collagen in her face has been lost, and people have begun to tease her for "looking a bit sarcastic and mean", which is more heartbreaking to her than being scolded to her face.
"Searching and searching
desolate
The moon sets and the crows cry. The crescent moon falls into the lonely well.
bits and pieces
Bit by bit
There are flowers in my dreams, and green grass in my dreams."
now.
Listening to Fan Wumian singing a song, Li Jiaxin turned sideways and said to Xu Ziqi, who was about to marry into a multi-billionaire family:
"I don't know why, but I like this song so much. It makes me want to cry. He is probably the best at writing Mandarin songs in the entire Chinese music scene. He made a lot of money from singing and acting, and only after he made his first fortune did he have the opportunity to expand his business. He is really amazing."
in public.
No matter what she really thinks in her heart, Xu Ziqi, who has high emotional intelligence, would never praise other men, especially Fan Wumian, the dream lover in the eyes of countless girls, as it would be easy to cause trouble.
So Xu Ziqi, who wanted to be a perfect daughter-in-law and was worried that there were ears on the other side of the wall, just put on a perfect smile and replied:
"My father-in-law mentioned at home that almost all those who bet on the mainland market in recent years have become rich. Compared with Hong Kong, they are really not on the same scale. Mr. Xiao Fan is great at writing Mandarin songs and he just happened to seize the opportunity. No wonder he earns more than other singers. My fiancé seems to have studied Penguin Group and thinks it has great potential." Her future father-in-law and fiancé were busy adding Chinese stocks to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in the past two years, and their paper profits have reached tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars.
Part of the equity of Phase I and Phase II of the Hong Kong International Financial Center belongs to Xu Ziqi's fiancé's family, who collect billions of Hong Kong dollars in rent every year from real estate throughout Hong Kong.
Penguin Group, which is also a Chinese stock, has of course also been carefully evaluated for its investment value.
Unfortunately, I felt that the risk was a bit high and was worried about facing the impact from Silicon Valley. In addition, there were too many high-quality stocks worth investing in, such as China Life, ICBC, Bank of China, CNOOC, etc., so I didn't have time to take care of them for a while.
But there's nothing to regret.
In 2004, her father-in-law used tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars in cash to set up a private investment company and reallocate his assets. Of course, he did not need to take too much risk like other gamblers. Stability was the most important thing.
Industries such as insurance, banking, energy, and real estate have relatively low risks, and with the surge in Chinese stocks listed in Hong Kong this year, her future husband's family has already made a fortune.
Li Jiaxin smiled and nodded on the surface, but when she thought of her father-in-law and mother-in-law, she felt like she had been soaked in a vinegar jar, with her stomach full of sourness.
Unlike Xu Ziqi's meteoric rise to fame, Li Jiaxin has been killing people in Hong Kong's wealthy circle. When she was with Liu Liu, there were often reports that she tore up the fourth, fifth and sixth mistresses. She even kicked the pregnant Cai Xiaofen and made her ex-wife so angry that she was hospitalized. Before she died, she left a message saying "Don't marry someone who hurt me."
Because of what Liu Cixin's ex-wife said, all his plans ultimately came to nothing.
Although Xu Ziqi was polite to her on the surface, Li Jiaxin could vaguely feel that this "billionaire daughter-in-law" beside her seemed to look down on her a little. Tonight she was just being polite for the sake of both families' business.
Xu Ziqi not only married into a wealthy family, but was also loved by her parents-in-law. Recently, it was reported that the betrothal gift included 1 million Hong Kong dollars in cash, two Mid-Levels luxury homes worth 2 million Hong Kong dollars, a yacht worth over 3.7 million Hong Kong dollars, and a million Hong Kong dollar private jet, which was enough to make Li Jiaxin faint with anger.
No matter how "plastic" the relationship is, for the sake of the dignity of the wealthy family, some superficial work must still be done.
Xu Ziqi asked Li Jiaxin and Fan Wumian if they were familiar with each other, and wanted to help them matchmake, so she introduced her good friend Lin Tianer to him.
Lin Tianer's father is the one who purchased the Furama Hotel for nearly HK$1997 billion in 70. After the financial crisis, his family was left with debts of more than HK$100 billion. He later founded a film and television company and shot the "Infernal Affairs" series.
Feeling from the bottom of her heart that the two of them were not a good match, Li Jiaxin shook her head and smiled:
"It's just that the yacht is parked next to me, and I happened to meet him this morning and he gave me some tickets. I'm not very familiar with this Mr. Fan. And everyone in Hong Kong knows that he likes the only daughter of the president of Zuo's Real Estate. I played mahjong with Miss Zuo's mother, and it seems that he has a good impression of Fan Wumian."
I really want to ask, is there any rich girl in Hong Kong who doesn't like Fan Wumian?
But Xu Ziqi swallowed the words back when they were on the tip of her tongue, fearing that Li Jiaxin would find fault with her and tell everyone about it.
the other side.
Zhuang Muxi, Yang Mi and Huang Shengyi were listening to Fan Wumian singing "Actually There's Nothing" and were glad that they chose to stay and listen to the song tonight.
Yang Mi's curiosity got the better of her and she suddenly asked:
"Who do you think the boss had in mind when he wrote these songs?"
Zhuang Muxi said with a firm tone:
"I don't think he was thinking of anyone in particular. Apart from the few years when he liked Miss Zuo, he never seemed to have been hurt by love, so how could he have any unforgettable creative inspiration? But "That Girl" was indeed written for Miss Zuo, I do know that."
Yang Mi joked:
"There's a line in the song 'They say you live right below Austin', which even details the address of Zuo Ziyan's office building. The media has already reported on it."
exactly.
The next song sung by Fan Wumian was "That Girl". The moment he opened his mouth, countless people at the scene fell into sadness.
There used to be many singers with the title of "Little Prince of Love Songs". Since Fan Wumian became famous, he is the only one left.
