Chapter 662: Follow Mr. Fan
Although the stock market has been affected, the fundamentals of the U.S. subprime mortgage market have not yet been completely shaken.
When it comes to how to intervene in the market, Wall Street, the Federal Reserve and Washington are all experts. Unless some large companies start to stab their allies in the back and break the tacit understanding between them in order to protect themselves, given the United States' control over the global financial market, it is estimated that it will take a while for the dust to settle.
It's like a delicious cake is placed in front of you and you just reach out and taste some cream. There's no need to make a fuss.
The movies "Home with Kids 3" and "Wulin Waijia 2: Son of the Dragon" are about to start filming. Fan Wumian wants to win people's hearts, so he takes the time to invite both groups to dinner at the Wanghailou private club.
After having a good meal and drinking, he finally got into the mood and invited Gao Yalin, who played Xia Donghai, Runni, who played Tong Xiangyu, and Jiang Chao, who played Li Dazui, to play mahjong together.
At this moment.
Gao Yalin, who was smart, seized the rare opportunity to get close to him and asked with a smiling tone:
"The news said that you, Mr. Fan, have made a lot of money recently, at least 20 to 30 billion RMB. What troubles have you encountered this time? You look a little listless, firing shots and making wrong bets. You should be very happy, right?"
Fan Wumian rolled the dice and said:
"Don't mention it. I was also full of energy before, but I started building positions last year, and now it's April. No matter how energetic I was, I was worn out by the day-to-day waiting. The United States wanted a soft landing, and various forces were fighting each other. The process was really not as exciting as making a movie. I just waited and watched for two days, and the paper profit immediately shrunk by more than 4 million US dollars. A private jet just evaporated on the spot."
"Li Dazui" Jiang Chao also continued:
"Otherwise, how can we say that you are amazing, Mr. Fan? Since you got rich, you have made money on everything you invest in. With just a few fluctuations, you can have enough money to buy a private jet. This thing is really too expensive. It seems that few people in the country own one."
Gao Yalin continued:
"As for investment, ups and downs are normal. As long as you make a profit overall, it's pretty good. The reason why the movie is wonderful is that it cuts out countless tedious daily life and compresses it into an interesting story. If it is filmed in every detail like a documentary, the box office will definitely not be very good."
While Fan Wumian was busy sorting out the mahjong, he continued the topic:
"Well, I've let it go a long time ago. The most important thing is to live a good life. When I feel it's time to make a move, I'll increase my position and invest more. If I feel the situation is not good, I'll cash out in time and invest less. It's just a matter of playing along with them. Anyway, I have plenty of time."
In the impression.
The signs of the subprime mortgage crisis appeared in 2007. It was not until after the Yanjing Olympics in 2008 that institutions such as Lehman Brothers and Merrill Lynch went bankrupt and the global financial tsunami escalated.
The entire downward cycle is likely to last for two to three years. Fan Wumian certainly cannot focus only on this matter. He is ready to wait until the end of the month, and after holding concerts in Tokyo and Seoul, South Korea, he will concentrate on filming the new drama "The Youngest Son of the Chaebol Family".
Among the tasks planned for the second half of the year, there is another TV series "Why Secretary Kim", which continues the style of high-end modern emotional drama.
As for another recently planned film "The Heirs", it is planned to be performed by Hong Kong actor Huang Zongze, who will partner with Baby Yang's ex-boyfriend Chen Weiting.
Chatting while playing cards.
Zhang Yishan, who plays the quirky Liu Xing, is about to celebrate his 15th birthday. He made his debut in commercials at a young age and was later chosen by a director to star in his first TV drama, Little Soldier Zhang Ga. He has known Mo Xiaobei from Swordsman for a long time, as both of them have acted in the drama.
At this moment, Zhang Yishan stood behind Gao Yalin with a smile, looked at Fan Wumian and asked:
"Boss, my dad asked me to find a chance to ask you what plans the company has for my career in the future. I'm not as handsome as you, nor as popular as you, and I don't know what kind of work to shoot besides Home With Kids."
Gao Yalin smiled and chimed in:
"At your age, the most important thing you should do is study hard. The filming of "Home with Kids 3" hasn't even been completed yet, but you can't wait to come to Mr. Fan to ask for a new role?" Zhang Yishan is young and may not think too far ahead, but how can his parents sit back and do nothing and completely hand over their son's future to Fan Wumian.
Some time ago, Gao Yalin, Song Dandan and others got some other roles, and most of the leading actors of "Wulin Waijia" also became very successful. These young actors have been living off the fame of the "Home with Kids" series and have only received some advertising endorsements.
After listening to this, Fan Wumian stared at Zhang Yishan and said with a smile:
"You look like a bad student in the class. After the filming of Home With Kids 3 is finished, the company can arrange some other campus-themed TV series or movies for you. Now remember to study hard. If your grades are good enough, be careful not to go astray. We can give you other opportunities in the future, such as detective stories, costume dramas, etc. The company has a lot of resources, so there is no need to worry about your future."
After Gao Yalin heard this, he patted Zhang Yishan on the shoulder and said again:
"That's right. Looking across the country right now, which entertainment company boss is more powerful than our President Fan? If you follow President Fan, your future will be bright. Go home and let your parents put their minds at ease. Why don't you thank President Fan quickly?"
Seeing Zhang Yishan thanking him repeatedly, Fan Wumian just replied calmly:
"It's okay. The relationship between actors and the company is a cooperative one. Your success in your career will also be beneficial to me. As long as you work hard, you will always have opportunities to stand out in the future. It's just that there are not so many projects now, so it's a bit troublesome. Generally, when I encounter a suitable role, I will give priority to the contracted artists under the company."
Xiao Jian, who played Yan Xiaoliu, had been eavesdropping with his ears perked up, and suddenly said:
"That's right. Mr. Fan is really particular. Even a small supporting actor like me with little presence has been given many opportunities to film and even bought a house in Yanjing. I couldn't even think about it before. Xiao Zhang, you are so popular now. There are few young people in the country who don't know you. As long as you encounter the right opportunity, you must rise to the top and move to the next level."
Don't underestimate "Yan Xiaoliu". He is a serious actor who graduated from the military art school. He has no advantages in image and resources. Of course, he is very grateful to Fan Wumian for providing him with so many opportunities.
Recently, Gao Yuanyuan is busy filming "Story of Yanxi Palace", in which he plays a young eunuch. His pay has soared to 5000 yuan per episode, which is equivalent to what the workers earn in more than a month's hard work.
From the time he had dinner in the evening until now, there has been a "large-scale flattery scene" going on around him. Fan Wumian couldn't help but sigh that it was no wonder that many people's mentality would become distorted and inflated after being in high positions for a long time. Most people could not withstand this feeling.
For example, when he had an itchy throat and coughed a few times, Ni Hongjie, who played "Zhu Wushuang", poured him a glass of warm water. On the other hand, Pu Jiajing, his personal assistant, had already hidden away somewhere and had no intention of acting as a waiter at all.
Suddenly I thought of something.
Fan Wumian said to Xiao Jian, the actor who played Yan Xiaoliu:
"Brother, you are from Tianjing, and you are so good at talking. Why don't you try to join Deyun Society and practice crosstalk? The crosstalk industry itself is not that profitable, but crosstalk can increase your exposure and let more people know you."
"You are not much older than Tsunako, so there is no need to become his apprentice. There are so many crosstalk masters helping out at Deyun Society now. You can choose one you are interested in becoming his apprentice. I will let Tsunako arrange it for you."
"Just think of it as a chance to improve your competitiveness in the workplace. You left too deep an impression on people in "Wulin Wai Zhuan". It's always difficult for sitcom actors to make the transition."
Jiang Chao, who was sitting next to the automatic mahjong machine, smiled and said:
"That's right. I've played in "The Story of the Kitchen Team" and "Crazy Stone", but the audience still calls me Li Dazui when they see me. Many people don't even know my real name."
"Brother Xiao, you are good at crosstalk. You can play clapper talk and suona. Every time you go on stage, you can introduce yourself. After a while, people will recognize you."
"Now I want to be a good actor and improve my status. I find that it's really hard to be without some workplace competitiveness. How about we find a teacher to learn crosstalk together? I'll be the funny one and you'll be the supporting one?"
Xiao Jian gave a thumbs up and said:
"Good idea, let's get ready and go to become your disciple in a few days."
