Chapter 633 Pretending to be confused while pretending to understand
Admission waiting.
While waiting for the Spring Festival Gala to begin, people kept coming up to Fan Wumian to try to get close to him, including some well-known celebrities from all walks of life.
As a celebrity tycoon whose wealth is comparable to that of the richest man in mainland China, Fan Wumian was given full attention and soon received a thick stack of business cards.
Of course.
It has only been a few years since the real take-off after reform and opening up, and the economic gap is there. The people in the mainland who first became rich are not very strong yet.
If we only take George Lucas, a famous director who makes movies in Hollywood, his net worth is enough to surpass everyone on the mainland rich list. However, compared with the super-rich people who are ranked at the top of the Forbes Global Rich List, he is still far behind.
Fan Wumian can make money in the international market, mainly in the United States, where the ceiling is currently much higher than in the mainland. At the same time, he is frantically developing the rapidly growing mainland Internet business. The Penguin Group alone has helped him earn tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars.
Other traditional businessmen who honestly run physical businesses certainly don't make money as quickly as he does.
Seeing that her boss was so popular, Yang Mi felt that he was becoming more and more powerful. Xu Zheng's eyes lit up, and he was excited about getting in touch with a higher circle tonight.
On the other hand, let’s not mention Wang Baoqiang who was busy cracking melon seeds and peeling oranges. He smiled at everyone he saw, and his silly look sometimes didn’t seem like he was acting. He had not seen much of the world, and his train of thought was a little different from that of ordinary people.
He even asked Fan Wumian that since he was considered a celebrity, if he was old enough to date someone, he should keep a low profile to avoid being photographed by paparazzi.
When this question was asked, even Liu Yifei was stunned, wondering if there were female fans who liked him because of his looks?
Fan Wumian comforted Wang Baoqiang and told him to relax, that since he was pursuing a career of real ability, he could just marry and have children openly. He also cited Huang Bo as an example, saying that Huang Bo had already obtained a marriage certificate with his girlfriend and was planning on getting married this year.
For other artists, talking about marriage may affect their future, but it really has almost no impact on the two of them. They just feel that if they were not famous and rich, it would be a bit difficult for them to marry a good wife.
Director Lu Hao has been busy all last year. In addition to "Crazy Racing", he also brought in Huang Bo to shoot "Lobster Cop", with the script outline provided by Fan Wumian. The film tells the story of police officers selling lobsters while undercover to investigate a case, which accidentally makes the restaurant a hit.
After the adaptation by director Lu Hao, the film became full of black humor and comedy effects. It was completed in just three weeks and the effect is said to be very good.
Last year, I felt very pressured to perform on stage, but this year, sitting in the audience, I felt much more relaxed.
After the host finished his introduction, this year's Spring Festival Gala finally officially began.
It’s still the familiar formula, it’s still the familiar taste, although some large-scale song and dance shows are not attractive enough, in fact the dance troupe may spend several months rehearsing carefully, but most people can only become background boards.
After Feng Gong's sketch ended, Ah Niu, Jolin Tsai, Tao Zhe and others went on stage together to sing songs such as "Peach Blossoms Blooming" and "Marry Me Today".
The following sketch "Free Call" was so interesting to Fan Wumian that he couldn't stop laughing even after watching it again.
Zhang Liangying's "As Wish" and Gangzi and Qian Daye's "I Want to Go to the Olympics" crosstalk were ranked 17th and 21st programs respectively.
It’s not because we don’t value them that their shows are put in the back. Rather, it’s because Jane Zhang and Tsuna are too popular that we put them in the back to avoid having no one watching the show after halfway through.
"The mountains and rivers are safe, the fireworks are ordinary
But you look as you wish
Children, sleep peacefully
like you love so much
And I will dream of the reunion you dreamed of
May your wishes last forever
Take the long road you take
Love you so much
I will also see the world you have never seen
Write poems you haven’t written yet
The thoughts in the heart of the moon in the sky
You are always by my side"
Xiamen.
Xue Shiyun felt very uncomfortable with the change from a big villa to a small house with two bedrooms and one living room of 70 to 80 square meters. Fortunately, her parents are healthy, and she feels relieved to spend the New Year with her family. Listening to Jane Zhang singing the song "As Wish" written by Fan Wumian, Xue Shiyun always felt a little weird. It had nothing to do with the song, but it reminded her of the social death she had a few days ago.
Especially when the camera switched to him again, and saw Liu Yifei and Yang Mi sitting next to him respectively, Xue Shiyun probably understood why Fan Wumian was "not very interested" in her.
After all, with his current status, if he takes a fancy to any pretty female star in the entertainment industry, he can have a chance of succeeding by just hooking his finger. Xue Shiyun thinks that she has a good appearance and figure, but other girls have the aura of a star, which makes them more lethal to men.
To put it in a more vivid way, it is probably like the difference between generic brands and luxury goods. The products sold at street stalls may be of better quality, but many people are vain and obsessed with big brands, thinking that they will be more face-saving when they carry them out.
Her father thought that his daughter had been working in her friend's company since she went to Shenzhen, and had no idea of her friend's beastly nature. So he suddenly asked:
"You said before that you had a way to save our company. Did you mean you wanted to ask this Fan Wumian to help with the investment? Why would he help us for no reason? You can't do anything that leads you astray."
Xue Shiyun's body suddenly stiffened a little, and she pretended to be relaxed and replied:
"Maybe he has a lot of projects and is just short of cement and other building materials. Mr. Fan is planning to sign me as a model, so he helped our family. Look at him, everyone around him is a beauty, how could he be interested in me? Maybe he just thinks I have some talent and it's worth cultivating."
Her parents would never believe the statement that there was a "lack of cement". It was too unrealistic to transport cement from Xiamen to Shenzhen or Yanjing. It would be cheaper to buy it nearby.
He wanted to say something more, but facing the only hope for his family to turn things around, Father Xue swallowed his words and reminded him vaguely:
"In the 1980s, our family was poor, so it was good to live like this. You should be careful. At worst, you can go abroad to live with your relatives and start a new life."
"Your second uncle has some connections in the United States. He has opened several laundries and Chinese restaurants. At least we won't starve to death. I called your second uncle some time ago. He asked us to find a way to get to San Diego, California. The rest is up to him."
"If you hadn't suddenly said you had found investment, we might have already boarded the ship."
Xue Shiyun had seen many such things since she was a child, and was speechless:
"It's uncertain whether we can reach the destination alive after spending more than ten days on a ship in a container. It would be better if we can revitalize our family's business. Those people who were asking for loans have already left."
Father Xue only replied:
"Well, this guy named Fan is really influential. I don't know who he talked to, but someone from above helped our family. The transportation company and the door and window processing factory may even refund some money to us and reassess the actual value of our assets."
If the purpose was just to sign his daughter, Mr. Xue felt that there was no need to help to this extent.
But even if he got to the bottom of it and stepped in to stop certain things, he felt that his daughter's future life would not necessarily be better than it was now. The gains and losses involved were too great. After thinking it over, he could only pretend to be ignorant and pretend that nothing had happened for the time being.
Xue Shiyun also knew that her lame excuses might not be able to deceive her parents, but things had come to this point and she could only continue to hold on, otherwise she would be taken advantage of for nothing.
By the time Gangzi and Uncle Qian came on stage and started performing crosstalk about the Olympics, she was in a good mood. Then she heard her mother suddenly mention that Deyunshe seemed to be Fan Wumian's industry.
Her family was wealthy in her early years, so they sent Xue Shiyun to study in Canada when she was in high school. They found a fellow villager in Toronto to take care of her. She doesn't know much about the situation in the country in recent years.
I used the built-in browser on my Nokia phone to check the relevant information of Deyunshe, and found out that this seemingly inconspicuous company was said to have made more than 10 million last year. It also acquired land in Yanjing Chaoyang Park to build a cultural and tourism resort integrating hotels, crosstalk and business.
Tsunako's business has really grown. Although he has not yet trained his own apprentices, he has gained fame in advance by collaborating with various crosstalk masters.
Some of the crosstalk industry peers have become jealous and have been looking for financial cooperation, preparing to grab market share from Deyun Society (End of this chapter)
