Although they keep saying they have no money, what they lack is just working capital.

Moreover, unlike other people who have difficulty making money, Fan Wumian often has profits coming in.

For example, the dividends from the game revenue of “Dungeon & Fighter”, totaling more than 750 million yuan, have been deposited into his account by Penguin Group, and there is an additional million yuan for licensing the album to Penguin Music.

This includes Fan Wumian’s own income as well as the exclusive digital copyright licensing income from Zhuang Muxi and Zhang Liangying.

Just last night, Paramount Pictures also paid Mythology Films its share of the box office revenue for “Time Trap”, with the total amount before tax reaching more than 4800 million US dollars. The DVD copyright also brought in 810 million US dollars, covering the peripheral income of “Time Trap” and “The Man from Earth”.

Movies like “Lost on Journey” and “The Golden Eyes”, as well as a few TV series, have also recovered some of the revenue from domestic and foreign markets.

Among them, the island country distribution rights of “Lost on Journey” were sold for 590 million US dollars, 90 more than director Feng’s “The Banquet”. The island country distribution rights of “The Golden Eyes” were sold at a high price of 700 million US dollars. These two works were also sold as a package for 475 million US dollars in the South Korean market.

Some companies have only given deposits for the time being, but as long as the quality of the work is not a problem, the possibility of returns is extremely low. After all, screening Fan Wumian’s works can indeed help distributors, theaters, audio-visual production companies and TV stations make money, which has almost become a consensus in the industry.

So some of the balance has not yet been received, and Fan Wumian has started to think about how to spend it in advance. When the revenue sharing starts for “A Quiet Place 2” which will be released before the summer vacation, he will be able to get more than million US dollars, and then the entire series will have nothing to do with him.

Fortunately, Zhuang Muxi has already reached an agreement with the Hollywood Disney Group and will continue to star in “A Quiet Place 3”, which is expected to officially start shooting in the second half of next year, with a salary of up to 850 million US dollars.

When the news came out a few days ago, countless colleagues in the Chinese entertainment industry were shocked. This figure is higher than the pay of international stars such as Zhang Ziyi and Gong Li, and it has completely secured Zhuang Muxi’s position as the “new generation’s No. 1 sister” and “top-tier actress”.

Zhuang Muxi remained indifferent to this and used the 20% deposit he received to buy Penguin shares. During school, he only drove a sky blue Beetle and had relatively low material pursuits.

Another person with a similarly calm temperament is Guo Biting, who has just been with Fan Wumian for a short time.

Because she was too busy to come to Shanghai to see him, Guo Biting felt embarrassed. She privately took a few beautiful photos of herself wearing a tight skirt and suspender stockings, and said that she would compensate him well next time they met.

Maybe because they have not experienced the baptism of “women hold up half the sky”, and are also influenced by traditional concepts, most girls in Formosa Province are in a weak position. They are indeed worry-free when getting along with others, and like to be submissive and accommodating.

On the other hand, in mainland China, Fan Wumian felt it was inconvenient to make a move after flirting with Yang Mi and Liu Shishi on QQ for so long. Once he provoked them, they would start talking about marriage, and he might even be taken home to meet their parents.

For a playboy like him, it was a real headache, which led to the fact that even after knowing each other for such a long time, they only had ambiguous interactions.

Compare the two phases.

Britney Spears, who is far away in Los Angeles, USA, is particularly open-minded about this kind of thing.

During the filming of “The Invisible Guest”, she had a few pleasant days with Fan Wumian, and then continued to get along as friends, as if she didn’t feel awkward at all.

A few days ago, Britney Spears sent a text message saying that she was dating a singer recently. After trying to get in touch with him a few times, she found that compared with Fan Wumian, the other party was just like Patrick Star – a brainless idiot.

She hadn’t contacted Fan Wumian in the past two days because she was busy shooting various materials. The first batch of themes were all set by Fan Wumian, including:

1. “Bury yourself in the ground and spend 72 hours alone, or you must donate $10.”

2. “Let a stranger man and woman be isolated from the world in a warehouse for 80 days. If they succeed in this challenge, they will receive a $20 bonus.”

3. “Buy a $5 scratch ticket and see if you can win the grand prize.”

4. “Protect a new Porsche from Gatling gunfire. If the car is still usable, give it to the contestant.”

5. “Random interviews on the street, giving away $5.”

Compared with the original Mr. Monster video, the amount has obviously shrunk a lot, mainly because the income from being an up-master is not that high these days.

In the early stage, he only got more than 330 million US dollars from several sponsors, which was mainly because of Britney Spears’s face. If Fan Wumian went to find advertising companies to get sponsorship, he might not get so much money. After all, the project has just started and no one knows how effective the advertising will be.

Two days ago, Britney Spears sent a text message to Fan Wumian, which read
——”I’m so nervous. I’m going to be buried soon. I’ll contact you when I get out!!!”

In the blink of an eye, more than 50 hours have passed, and I still haven’t received any text message from Britney.

While having dinner alone, Fan Wumian thought about this and was a little surprised.

It was originally thought that Britney would not be able to hold on for too long, given her spoiled personality due to her young fame. She was buried in a wooden box underground, which was closed, small, and dark, with only a ventilation hole of a few centimeters to contact the outside world. She had to eat, drink, defecate and urinate in the wooden box. She really suffered this time.

However, Fan Wumian explained it to her very clearly in advance.

The cooperation between the two parties to promote her as an Internet celebrity may be Britney’s only chance to turn the tide and become popular among young people again. Moreover, as long as the “Ms. Monster” account is done well, she will probably make a lot of money.

The cooperation agreement between the two is that Fan Wumian will invest to establish the company and hold 75% of the shares, Britney Spears will take 25% of the dry shares and act as the host to shoot video materials.

It seems that even though the space inside the wooden box is small and it is buried one meter underground, it cannot stop Britney’s determination to become popular again, wash away the dark history of the past few years, and become popular again.

I can only say that after meeting Fan Wumian, this American girl who used to be known as a “dumb blonde girl” has indeed changed a lot.

at the same time.

On a farm outside Los Angeles, it was still dark and the night sky was dotted with stars.

Several crew members were on duty, chatting and barbecuing at the door of the tent. More than ten meters away, there was a hollow acrylic tube sticking out of the soil, with a rain shelter installed on it.

Fan Wumian overestimated Britney’s perseverance. She had long been unable to hold on. She cried four times in the past 24 hours and talked about giving up the challenge more than ten times.

The only thing that supports her is that the video will surely attract widespread attention around the world after it is broadcast. In the eyes of a popular actress like Britney, nothing else is more important than this.

This resulted in Britney, even though she was on the verge of emotional collapse many times, still struggling to hold on in the wooden box underground, trying her best to find interesting topics to make the show more exciting.

I cried so many times that I became numb.

She was facing the camera, her eye makeup was already smudged by tears, and she said:
“I’ve been thinking about a lot of things these past two days, and suddenly I realized that all the problems I encountered before have become unimportant in the face of this kind of thing. Although it feels like being buried alive, it gives me a feeling of being reborn.”

“There may be no more cruel punishment than being buried alive. At least I still have air, light, food, and can communicate with the outside world. And I don’t know how long it will take before I can get out.”

“Those who are really buried, they have nothing, they can only wait for the oxygen to run out, and then struggle to die. I’m sorry to say so much, but I really can’t sleep, and talking helps me relax and spend the rest of the time.”

In her previous life, Britney was imprisoned by her family and everything was taken away from her.

This kind of situation of usurping the magpie’s nest is actually very common in the United States. There are criminal gangs that specifically look for suitable elderly people and wealthy children, and then work with lawyers to target them.

But at Fan Wumian’s suggestion, Britney replaced her manager with a Chinese female agent. It’s true that her popularity has declined rapidly in the past two years, but fortunately she hasn’t gone to extremes. She often meets with several Chinese girlfriends and has begun to learn to use her brain to consider things.

Being buried in the ground for more than 50 hours made her recall her first half of life several times, and she also read the two books recommended by Fan Wumian, “The Art of War” and “The Art of Thick Black”.

At first, Britney didn’t quite understand why he recommended her to watch these, but later she realized that he wanted to help her learn how to deal with complex situations in life.

This also made Britney realize that a big part of the reason why child stars are prone to failure is that they don’t spend time on learning. A lot of knowledge in textbooks may seem unimportant, but it will be of great help to life. (End of this chapter)
