Chapter 583 Don’t Be So Busy Laughing
Been famous for a while.
There are still countless fans obsessed with Fan Wumian, and his popularity is increasing instead of decreasing.
A big part of the reason is that he is different from other artists. He can always surprise people and create some "miracles" in the eyes of others.
For example, when he was in high school, he was still shouting that he was a child of a poor family, but now he has suddenly become a self-made man, successfully promoted to a billionaire, and become the largest shareholder of Penguin Group.
This is not the most exaggerated.
As Ji Qiao released the news, when the Hong Kong media used "Spending 125 billion Hong Kong dollars" as the headline and the related news spread everywhere, countless people who didn't care much about him were shocked and surprised that Fan Wumian was so rich.
Experts know the ins and outs and understand that to trade multiple stock options, one only needs to pay a deposit.
Most people don’t quite understand the twists and turns of the investment world, and subconsciously treat all this money as Fan Wumian’s own capital, and look up to him even more.
The feeling is probably similar to that you originally thought that Fan Wumian was only three or four stories tall, but at first glance you find that it is actually seven or eight stories tall.
It is not surprising that Uncle Li, one of the four largest families in Hong Kong, has invested tens of billions. He is one of the "billionaires" and everyone knows that he is as powerful as Li Chaoren.
This time he also spent 125 billion Hong Kong dollars, which suddenly shocked countless people.
After the news spread, Fan Wumian kept an eye on the latest developments.
While rehearsing with Liu Yifei at the Sapphire Blue Music Studio, he scrolled through the comments under the news and found that there was a lot of negative news, and the number of likes was not low.
For example--
"I want to report him. I seriously suspect he is laundering money!"
as well as--
"Being a celebrity makes money so quickly. How can one earn so much? Could he really be the illegitimate child of some wealthy man?"
"A sophomore at an art college who hasn't even attended classes for a few days actually wants others to invest their money in him for management. Only a fool would buy this! I put the money in the bank to earn interest, and I can make a profit every year."
"I don't understand who would give him money. It's so easy to cheat children out of their money."
"."
Newcomers may not be able to adapt to living under the spotlight and being attacked by keyboard warriors and argumentative people, but Fan Wumian is already a veteran and is no longer afraid of boiling water.
The purpose of his exposure was to attract the attention of some potential investors, and he never intended to gain the support of everyone.
These "lemon essences" don't seem to be the audience group he hopes to find. No matter what they say, it actually has no impact on the basic base.
Last year, he rarely accepted interviews and spoke on social media platforms. He tried to lower his presence, fearing that the higher he stood, the harder he would fall, and he would be besieged and overwhelmed by other competitors in the entertainment industry.
This time is different.
This time it was out of business considerations and had nothing to do with the entertainment industry. At least in terms of asset management, Fan Wumian was quite confident.
Even if the matter gets blown out of proportion and he is really deified, he has the confidence to navigate the bull and bear markets in the next decade or so, ignoring all kinds of risk fluctuations and bringing super high returns to investors.
At this moment.
Fan Wumian sat cross-legged on a low stool and said to Pu Jiajing:
"I've become a big celebrity again, and many people online are busy scolding me. It clearly has nothing to do with them, but they are all like cats whose tails have been stepped on, and suddenly their fur explodes."
"The mouth is on other people's body, they can say whatever they want."
"I hope they hate me so much that their teeth itch, never buy my funds and stocks, and go against me in everything. That way I will feel comfortable."
Pu Jiajing was in a daze, dozing off and saying:
"Someone asked a question before, which was about why so many people hate you as a boss. Someone commented that money and fame are often the original sins, and your conditions in all aspects are so good that people are jealous. If you are too popular, it is easy to be backfired, just like those entrepreneurs who market themselves. Once they are caught by others, it is easy to affect the company's performance."
Fan Wumian also understood these principles, but he felt helpless when he was being scolded by others. He then sighed:
"There are too many people praising me, which is unknowingly flattering me. If these nitpickers can focus their firepower on foreigners, I would respect them as real men. Unfortunately, they are always submissive to the outside world and attack hard at home. If I were white, with a Western face, and had achieved similar achievements, maybe these guys would praise me to bits in no time."
"I often feel that Western culture is so powerful. They can define what is a good product with high value and what is a worthless ordinary product, making people willing to pay for it. They can also make actors with ordinary looks and mediocre acting skills become big stars that everyone likes."
"Don't be so quick to laugh. You are so popular now and are worshipped as a god. When your appearance starts to decline, I'm afraid you will be criticized like crazy."
The last sentence was directed to Liu Yifei.
Liu Yifei was busy practicing a new song. When she heard this, she said helplessly, "I didn't provoke them, why are they blackmailing me?"
Fan Wumian spread his hands and said:
"For example, if you have American citizenship, you should immigrate to Hong Kong as soon as possible. Australia is also fine. If you really can't do it, throw some dirty water on yourself. It's best not to over-market your looks. You need to try to transform yourself into a talented actor and shoot more new masterpieces."
Liu Yifei is still confused:
"Have I marketed myself? Before signing with Sony Music, I didn't even have a professional PR team. You are the boss and you have the final say. I will ask my mom when the time comes. If we talk about beauty, I think Feng Ying'er is particularly charming. She is sexy and delicate, while Zhuang Muxi has a comfortable temperament. Sometimes, your thoughts jump too much, and I often can't seem to keep up with your pace."
Fan Wumian replied with a smile:
"Maybe it's because you're looking at things from a different perspective. It doesn't matter if you don't understand. Just do as I say. It won't do you any harm."
Since he is very clear about what will happen in the next ten years or so, his thinking is indeed more divergent.
The source of his helplessness is that he went to great lengths to go long on Apple shares, mainly to make more money to invest, but was scolded by many people behind his back. No matter who it is, it would be unbearable for them to suffer such an injustice.
Just like Jay Chou, who once said in public, "Don't let the Korean wave become more and more arrogant, the Chinese wave is the coolest", but afterwards he was ridiculed by countless people, saying that he was not even worthy of carrying shoes for some South Korean stars.
Instead of being too hard on yourself, it is better to call others idiots. Fan Wumian complained in his heart and became more determined to stay away from the muddy swamp that drags people down. He just needs to do his own job seriously.
I have always advised my artists not to be affected by external noise, but when encountering something like this, it is still difficult to completely ignore it.
He quickly calmed down and continued to accompany Liu Yifei to record songs.
He was busy until the afternoon and found that there was no problem. Then he waved his hand and left Liu Yifei to go to the family office to learn about the holding costs, industry trends and so on.
In order to ease the relationship between Huang Shengyi and Xingzai, Fan Wumian talked about "Kung Fu 2" at the party.
He didn't take it seriously, but Xingzai was more proactive and took the initiative to call him and said:
"Amien, I asked someone at Sony Columbia, and they have made it clear that they will shelve the development of Kung Fu 2 for a long time. If you really want to work with me to shoot it, then we can find time to invite them out for dinner and have a chat to see if we can buy the subsequent copyrights."
at the same time.
Fan Wumian was busy reading the novel "The Three-Body Problem". He was a little confused at first, but after gradually figuring out the content, he realized that it was indeed a masterpiece with a huge imagination.
With his head tilted and his BlackBerry between his legs, he replied to Xing Zai:
"Can you tell me what kind of story you plan to film in the second part? The content of the first part seems to be quite complete. Your character is so powerful that he defeated the world's number one Fire Cloud Evil God. How should we continue filming?"
The copyright price of "Kung Fu" is not cheap. Xingzai understands Fan Wumian's caution and patiently explains:
"My idea is that the greatest heroes serve their country and their people. The story can start from when Huoyun Evil God was defeated and he returned to his hometown in the countryside to farm. One day, a Japanese ninja found him and killed Huoyun Evil God."
".Then what?"
"Then the Axe Gang did not disappear. After the second in command took over, they became even more brutal. They paid a high price to hire the best assassin in Japan. They held an internal meeting to decide who could avenge the first boss in the first film and who would be the real leader."
Xing Zai obviously had thought of the story and continued to introduce it fluently:
"After this ninja found the role I was playing, he not only locked my Ren and Du meridians, but also killed the mute girl and the landlady and her husband. Only then did I realize that they were really my parents."
"In order to find the old beggar who taught me the Tathagata Palm, I ran to the Shaolin Temple and found out that he was the sweeping monk. Practicing the Yi Jin Jing increased my power several times."
"It happened to be a time of war. In order to rebuild the spirit of the country, I chose to challenge the ninja publicly. Finally, I opened a martial arts school and traveled around to encourage everyone to practice martial arts and serve the country."
After listening to this, Fan Wumian smacked his lips and said:
"The story is complete, but it sounds a bit like Fist of Fury or Huo Yuanjia. Although it is safe to put new wine in old bottles, it seems to lack a little bit of novelty." (End of this chapter)
