Chapter 593 Cameo
the next day.
Fan Wumian came to the film crew and reunited with Britney Spears.
After seeing so many large crews with two or three hundred people, and then looking at a filming team with only a dozen members, I have the illusion that it is so simple and pitiful.
It was just a matter of shooting the video material to be posted online, and the various equipment were already very professional. Not only were the latest movie-grade cameras used, but a helicopter was also specially mobilized.
Britney Spears' very own helicopter.
Probably because it was too easy for her to make money, she had always been lavish in spending money.
Last time, I gave Fan Wumian a Pagani supercar. Now, the Pagani Nero is parked in the garage of a villa in Shenzhen and is rarely driven on the street.
Regardless of what others think, Fan Wumian thinks Britney is a good friend. Not only did she give herself away, she also wanted to give away her best friend as well.
When friends do this, what else can I say?
In addition to the three photographers, the team consists of more than ten employees who are mainly responsible for coordinating venues, costumes and props, makeup and public relations, etc.
At this moment.
Before the shooting started, a photographer who was slightly fat and had a beard and looked suspicious of his sexual orientation suddenly asked Fan Wumian:
"Fan, a great director like you should have the opportunity to get in touch with 3D virtual image capture photography systems and virtual cameras, right? They are very cool. A friend of mine who is participating in the filming of Avatar said it is a groundbreaking movie."
Talking about this kind of professional issue, Fan Wumian became excited and shook his head and said:
"I haven't come across it either. I heard that the famous director James Cameron developed some new equipment specifically for the filming of Avatar. The cost of filming a large-scale computer special effects movie is too high. I haven't considered it yet."
The bearded photographer stretched out his hand and said with a smile:
"My name is Phoenix Green. If the film crew is short of people, you can always ask me for help. I graduated from the School of Cinematic Arts at the University of Southern California. Since I first came into contact with "Call Me by Your Name", I made up my mind to become a director, a real director."
"Of course, it's good to work here. It's relaxing, interesting and fulfilling."
"The last time I went to purchase this equipment, I saw a company called RED that was developing a digital camera. When all the content is digitized, it will be much easier to shoot works. However, this company only has some concept drawings, and I doubt whether they can really develop it."
The speaker is unintentional and the listener is interested.
Fan Wumian looked surprised and asked:
"Could the device this company is developing be the RED ONE?"
In his previous life, when he was studying at the Beijing Film Academy, Fan Wumian heard from his professor that when RED released the first prototype, countless people lined up for dozens of minutes to catch a glimpse of it, and it also attracted countless directors to watch it on site.
The first time he came into contact with a movie-grade camera was with the RED ONE. It is said that a complete set costs hundreds of thousands of RMB, but this machine has fulfilled the dreams of countless civilian directors through its low shooting costs.
Upon hearing this, the bearded photographer Green immediately replied:
"Yes, that seems to be the name. If we can really use it to shoot movies, it will probably disrupt the entire camera market, and my job will become much easier."
The upgrade of cameras will also have a slight impact on Fan Wumian, making the shooting process smoother and more fluid.
He secretly memorized the name of RED Company, then greeted Pu Jiajing and asked someone to help investigate and find out more about it, hoping to try to get this new technology.
The reason is that the current camera market is almost dominated by Japanese brands. If you get hold of the landmark machine RED ONE in advance, you should have a chance to take advantage of your competitors and make a fortune.
As for keeping the company for long-term development, Fan Wumian had never thought about it. After all, the market size was too small and the ceiling height was limited. Although RED ONE surpassed film cameras in some key indicators, it would soon fall behind other competitors and would not be able to maintain its lead for a long time.
Since it is impossible to achieve a monopoly with it, it is better to make a quick buck while the popularity is high.
Every time he came to Hollywood, Fan Wumian would think of Iron Man and Marvel Entertainment. He just needed money to invest in this ambitious comic book company that was trying to make its own movies.
Britney Spears put on her makeup and after some preparation, she stood in front of the camera and enthusiastically introduced Fan Wumian. She not only mentioned his super-rich identity, but also pointed out that she would ask him to sponsor part of the grand prize today.
This was all a pre-arranged script. Fan Wumian handed over the initiative to Britney and just kept cooperating with her to avoid a dull moment.
After recording the opening content, the group came to a street near Sunset Boulevard, unloaded several prizes wrapped in gift paper from a truck, and looked for a lucky person to choose one of them.
For example, underneath the gift wrapping paper that is shaped like a TV, one piece is made of cardboard and foam, while the other piece is filled with new game consoles.
Fan Wumian picked out a Latin American girl who was pretty good-looking. Originally, he wanted to be the "God of Wealth" and give her a chance to get rich.
Unexpectedly, this girl had such bad luck that she chose three times in a row and all she got were just foam and waste paper.
Even so, Britney still rewarded her with more than two thousand dollars in the end, and she casually took some from a thick stack of bills without counting them carefully.
Then he continued to look for lucky winners on the streets and gave away gifts such as televisions, cars, game consoles, and motorcycles one after another.
During lunch, Fan Wumian also chatted up a hot white girl and asked her:
"If you didn't need to work, what would your dream be? What would you like to do or where would you like to go?"
The waitress looked back at the boss and told Fan Wumian:
"I have a three-year-old son. Giving birth to him was an accident, but I have never regretted it. My dream is to spend more time with him or hire a nanny for him. Now I have to work two jobs a day, a total of 12 hours. If I have the chance, I would like to go to Fiji. My friends said the sea there is very beautiful."
Fan Wumian listened carefully and replied:
"Congratulations. Today I am your wishing genie. I will give you $5. Can you quit your job immediately and go home to be with your son? Take him to the Fiji Islands?"
Amid the shocked gazes of the people around him, Fan Wumian opened his briefcase and actually took out five stacks of cash and put them in his hand. They were all hundred-dollar bills with Franklin's portrait printed on them.
The waitress was so excited that she covered her mouth and screamed. The next second, she untied her apron, hugged Fan Wumian excitedly, kissed him and danced.
It feels like she is taking advantage of the situation, but she can't provide any actual evidence.
After filming this segment, everyone around looked at Fan Wumian and Britney eagerly, hoping that good luck would come to them.
Unfortunately, they were in a hurry and soon went somewhere else, buying a Ford Mustang worth more than 3 US dollars for an Asian owner of a dry cleaning shop.
The theme of today's program is "Randomly looking for lucky people, challenging to spend 50 US dollars in one day." In fact, all this money is advertising fees sponsored by brands. Spending money on charity makes Fan Wumian feel particularly satisfied.
I understand that such videos will definitely spread to both sides of the Taiwan Strait and Hong Kong and Macau.
In order to avoid being scolded by his compatriots, Fan Wumian also temporarily invited Britney to visit Asia when she is free, and the challenge amount will be upgraded to 80 US dollars at that time.
Fan Wumian understood very well the principle that what is worrying is not the lack of wealth but the inequality of wealth. He did not want to be caught with any criticism and tried to treat everyone equally.
That night.
He was invited to attend a party organized by Britney Spears at the last minute, and was almost blocked in the bathroom by one of her Chinese best friends.
It can only be said that the difference between the old and the new is not the same. Fan Wumian does not understand why many Chinese people look weird and their makeup and dressing styles become uninteresting after living abroad for a long time.
As for Kim Kardashian, he also looked at her from the right angle and found that her figure was not as exaggerated as he had imagined. This shows that she probably had plastic surgery and gradually became a "fat-tailed sheep".
During the party, he was approached all the time, which gave Fan Wumian a feeling of "selecting concubines". Fortunately, Megan Fox took the initiative to ask him to meet, so at around 9 o'clock in the evening, he pretended to have something to do the next day and slipped away. (End of this chapter)
