Chapter 589 Not bad

The amount of durian imported by the mainland from Southeast Asia is not high. If we want to introduce durian seedlings in large quantities, now is the best time.

As for planting, just leave it to the cousins. When it comes to fruit farming, they are very experienced and can make the most of anything.

Just after finishing reading the information, he heard the phone on the table ringing. Fan Wumian glanced at the contact name and found that it said "Da Mimi".

Occasionally they chatted via QQ, but they rarely talked on the phone. Guessing that there might be something urgent to discuss, he picked up the call and asked:

"Hey, what are you doing?"

"Excuse me for hitting me, Boss, you are from Hong Kong City! There is no mistake about that!"

"."

Fan Wumian switched to Mandarin in a second and continued to ask her: "Well, do you need me for something?"

Yang Mi said hurriedly:
"It's like this! I was meeting the boss of a film and television company in Guangzhou. They seemed to admire me very much and agreed to let me play the leading role in a play. But just now they suddenly made a request."

Seeing her hesitating, Fan Wumian subconsciously thought that she had encountered that kind of thing again, and asked:

"Are you trying to seduce me? If you're unreliable, forget it. Just block me and ignore me in the future."

"No, no! The boss of this company is a woman in her forties, and she was very polite to me. She meant that the leading female role could be given to me, but she wanted you to help write one or two theme songs. She also said that she was a fan of Jane Zhang, and she had listened to songs like "Memories of the Nine Gates", "Red Wish", and "Peach Blossom Promise" over and over again."

".Don't breathe so hard next time. I thought someone was following you. Did the company arrange for you to meet?"

After listening to Fan Wumian's question, Yang Mi replied:
"It was their company that contacted my agent, and then I came to Guangzhou. There is no need to worry about safety. I usually don't see anyone except for business. With your protection, everyone is very polite to us now."

"That's good. Tell me what kind of drama you're going to film first? If you can't sing at that time, you can let Jane Zhang sing. It's like taking on two jobs at once."

It’s not that Fan Wumian underestimated Yang Mi’s singing skills. This girl’s level was obviously far behind Zhang Liangying, just like the difference between an amateur and a professional.

Yang Mi was also very self-aware and continued:

"That's great. I met Sister Jingying last time I attended an event. She took special care of me. This company wants me to shoot a martial arts drama. My agent said the script is very exciting. It's called "Sword Out of the Dusk Clouds". There are 36 episodes in total. They will give me about 3 yuan per episode, or maybe 100 million yuan directly."

Fan Wumian really had no impression of the name of this drama.

As his influence continues to grow and the butterfly effect becomes more and more obvious, some changes in daily life will no longer surprise him.

The same goes for foreign investment. Fan Wumian only dares to look for business opportunities from major trends, and some star companies that were popular in the past may not be able to develop smoothly now. This means that many memories can only be used for reference and do not mean they are 100% correct.

Knowing that Yang Mi had a chance to get a million-dollar film salary, Fan Wumian praised her:

"Not bad. Many veteran first-line stars are almost the same price. It means the market is beginning to look favorably upon you. I'll take a look at the script tonight. If you can sign it, then sign it. I'll give you a big red envelope at the end of the year. As for the songwriting, it shouldn't be a big problem. I'll talk to you after I finish reading the script."

For Yang Mi and Liu Shishi, although the company took a commission, the money was spent on them in return. Things like assistant team, food, clothing, housing, transportation, marketing promotion, and taxes were all costs, and they just barely broke even.

There is no profit in supporting newcomers in the short term. We can only wait until they become famous and then find ways to make back the money with a profit. It can't be said that we are exploiting them.

Yang Mi understands all these principles and thanks her:
"You don't need to give me a big red envelope. The company is short of funds recently, so it's more important to use the money to produce new dramas. I'm doing well here. My fans on Weibo are increasing very quickly. I'm almost at 200 million followers now."

Fan Wumian was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, and said:
"The company has no problem with funds, and we don't need your bonus. Remember to say hello to your agent and coordinate the schedule in advance. Detective Chinatown is scheduled to be released in late June, and I estimate that the second part will start shooting soon after it is released. There are also several other dramas. You will definitely be very busy by then. Thank you for your hard work." It's different from going to work or school.

Being a star is not only glamorous, but also makes you earn a lot. Although the pressure is not small, the rewards are also amazing, which naturally gives people the motivation to persevere.

Workers insist on going to work out of helplessness. After all, most of them have families to support and make a living. However, when celebrities make a single job, they can sometimes earn as much as working for a lifetime.

Therefore, the so-called hard work and the real hard work seem to be the same thing, but in fact they are two different things.

Although you already have the opportunity to achieve a low level of financial freedom, you are still greedy and want to earn more. This is purely self-inflicted trouble and has nothing to do with being forced.

After a brief conversation about the main business, Yang Mi changed the subject and asked:
"Boss, what are you busy with recently? Winter vacation is coming soon. My classmates haven't seen you this semester and often ask about you in the group chat."

Fan Wumian smiled and said:
"Are you thinking about me, or are you after my resources? I'll sign Zhang Xiaofei and the others in my class as well. It's not the lack of resources that's worrying, but the imbalance of resources, right?"

Yang Mi has left her status as an ordinary student. She has been busy working everywhere this year and has also taken long vacations and seldom returned to school.

Not only did Fan Wumian install new air conditioners sponsored in part by Greely in all the dormitories, classrooms and offices of the Beijing Film Academy, but he also donated another RMB 11 million in scholarships in November last year to provide targeted financial assistance to students from poor families at the Beijing Film Academy, and promised to provide hundreds of job opportunities.

That's too much to give.

Now when some people say that he doesn't go to school, teachers and students of Beijing Film Academy often take the initiative to help fight back, saying that the school teachers really can't teach Fan Wumian anything anymore, so it's better to let him go and hone his skills in society so as not to waste his time.

Judging from the fact that he is worth hundreds of billions, the haters certainly have no way to refute it. They can only secretly say a few words like "rich people can really do whatever they want", just like a veteran sourpuss.

Compared with other students, Yang Mi of course stood on the side of Fan Wumian and said to him on the phone:
"Everyone wants to get a chance, but unfortunately there are only so many opportunities. If you meet some old classmates who have performed well, it is reasonable to help them, but if you ask them to help all of them, that would be a bit too much. Zhang Xiaofei and I lived in the same dormitory. She had a nice personality and was honest. She never gossiped about others behind their backs. I used to go to the restaurant with her often."

Fan Wumian replied:

"Unlike you, her image is not as good as yours, and her popularity among the public is too ordinary. I'm afraid she will have to wait a few more years before she can stand out."

"When she is young, you can let her act in costume dramas, period dramas, etc., run around to crews to accumulate popularity, and there will be no problem in making her a familiar face to support the family. It may be better when she is a little more mature."

"To be an actor, you don't have to be the leading male or female character. Supporting actors like Uncle Tat and Danny Chan are still very successful and well-loved by the audience. Compared to them, I am more worried about you. Becoming famous too quickly is not necessarily a good thing. More practice will lay a good foundation."

After listening to this, Yang Mi recalled all the recent events and thought that she had not done something well, so Fan Wumian secretly pointed out a few things to her.

After finding that nothing seemed to be wrong, he felt relieved and replied:
"When I was a few years old, I went to the crew to guest-star. It has been a while since I signed with the previous agency. I can't say I became famous too quickly, right? If you want to talk about fast, Zhuang Muxi and Feng Ying'er are really fast. Boss, do you think I have a chance to work with you in a TV series?"

Fan Wumian said lazily:

"I think we have to wait a little longer in the short term. Didn't we work with you on a film called Detective Chinatown? You also played a supporting role in The Lonely and Great God. There are more people in the company now, so you should wait in line first."

Yang Mi spoke up for her best friend and asked:

"What about Liu Shishi? She lacks a representative work right now. She is very serious when practicing her performance and goes to the teacher for training several times a week."

"Shishi, let me make the arrangements. Are you two getting along well lately?"

"That's great. We have a party every time we return to Yanjing."
