Debuted right after graduating from high school

Chapter 527 A true genius!

After the “Ms. Monster” account released a new video, it quickly became popular all over the world with the help of Britney Spears’ own popularity. The process was smooth and there was almost no resistance.

With just three short videos, it topped the YouTube hot list.

Even the promotional video for Christopher Nolan’s “The Prestige” and the video of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie arguing on the beach were overshadowed by Britney “burying” herself alive, which made her return to the headlines of major news and entertainment pages.

Google’s hot search list, from top to bottom:
“1. Britney was buried alive”

“2. How does Britney go to the bathroom?”

“3. Ms. Monster”

“4. Britney broke down and cried”

“.”

This phenomenal popularity had an amazing effect. In just two days, it helped Britney gain over 700 million fans. In addition to YouTube, she also gained a lot of fans on Facebook.

As for the American version of Weibo, which is currently in the public beta stage, its name is set as “Micro blog”. Currently, the average daily active users are only 60,000 to 70,000, which has doubled compared to last week.

It combines the functions of Weibo and QQ, and adds a “Burn After Reading” function in the chat program. After the recipient views the pictures and videos, they will automatically disappear after 5 seconds. When the recipient tries to take a screenshot or record the screen, the sender will also receive a notification.

Weibo is not popular in the United States for the time being, but its self-destructing feature has attracted the attention of many young people, allowing them to share erotic selfies more unscrupulously.

Considering the open atmosphere between men and women in the United States, this feature is quite in line with their needs.

The speed at which the “Monster Ms.” account became popular was faster than Fan Wumian had expected.

If other materials had not been shot in time and there were too little high-quality content in the account, it would definitely be able to attract more attention from foreign users.

The YouTube platform does not currently support paid subscriptions. If UP hosts want to make money by operating their accounts, they mainly rely on advertising. The popularity of “Britney Buried Alive” has successfully helped her and Fan Wumian attract the attention of many big sponsors.

After seeing the next shooting plan, Coca-Cola agreed to pay a one-time title sponsorship fee of US$200 million to produce a total of four episodes. Volkswagen of Germany also provided three Lamborghinis plus a sponsorship fee of US$120 million.

In addition, several beauty brands came to him, but Fan Wumian did not push them away.

The main problem is that the image of the “Monster Lady” account is inconsistent with Valentino’s brand positioning. It’s okay to run some advertisements occasionally to increase its popularity among young people, but it is not suitable for exclusive promotion, so it can be kept operating independently.

Asking Britney Spears to be the event planner was obviously a smart move. Her popularity has always been high, and she has a huge amount of traffic and popularity. In just two days, she received $880 million in sponsorship fees.

At this rate of money-making, it probably won’t take too long for the new joint venture between the two to start making a profit.

Britney Spears’ new agent, whose Chinese name is Wu Lei, just turned 35 this year. She has worked in a celebrity agency for many years and has served Lucy Liu, Julia Roberts, Demi Moore and others. She is a Chinese American who grew up in Chinatown in Los Angeles.

Seeing Britney becoming popular again and making money, Wu Lei was in a very good mood because she could get a small commission from Britney’s income.

July 10nd.

After checking the list of partners that had been recently negotiated, Wu Lei said to Britney who was applying a facial mask:

“Do you feel that the cooperation between you and Mr. Fan is a bit unfair to you?”

Britney raised her eyebrows in surprise and asked in a blank tone, “Why do you say that?”

Her agent continued:

“These advertisers chose to pay a large sum of money because of you, and also used your own YouTube account. I think the value of this intangible asset was not included in your cooperation agreement.”

“At the time, I said that we should fight for it again and try to raise the share ratio to 40%, or even 50-50. But you were so impulsive that you ran to the law firm to sign the contract, and now he has taken advantage of you.”

“Otherwise, you may get an extra two or three million dollars this time. If you can maintain this popularity for a long time, I think it will be very profitable. Perhaps you can ask a lawyer to help negotiate, and then sign a supplementary agreement to request a higher share ratio.” Britney Spears has long been financially independent and is not sensitive enough to money. She is too emotional in her daily life and not so rational.

After she heard what her agent said, she vaguely realized that maybe it wasn’t just about her own interests.

According to the cooperation agreement signed between Britney and Wu Lei, the other party can take 3% of her income, which means that if she earns an extra two or three million dollars, Wu Lei can get tens of thousands of dollars.

According to Hollywood rules, star agents with power and resources can generally take 10% of the star’s income as compensation.

Britney Spears earns more and was already famous when she worked with Wu Lei. Even if she was only given a 3% commission, there were still a lot of celebrity agents scrambling to work for her.

Britney started to feel unhappy when she heard her agent complain that Fan Wumian was taking advantage of her.

However, she has a good personality and is very polite. She just smiled and reminded:
“Your overall qualifications were not the best among the interviewees. He said that Chinese people are smarter and should be able to help me solve problems in life, so I chose you.”

“It turns out he was right. You are much more capable than my former agent and have successfully helped me regain control of the assets from my parents.”

“Maybe you only saw how much I lost, but didn’t notice that if he hadn’t asked me to cooperate, I wouldn’t have been able to get this 25% and regain some of the fans’ love.”

“This is already a very good result. The Ms. Monster account has just started to become popular, and I don’t want to mess it up. In fact, I plan to take the money back from BlackRock and State Street Investment Management and give it all to Van to manage. The news said that he invested in two hedge fund companies on Wall Street.”

Wu Lei was stunned after hearing this, then she opened her eyes wide and asked, “How much money are you going to invest in him?”

Britney wasn’t quite sure how much she had, so she asked back:

“I have deposited more than 3600 million in total in BlackRock and State Street. He is the smartest person I know, so I trust him.”

“.”

Wu Lei suddenly felt a headache. This was almost all the cash Britney had, excluding real estate, artworks, copyrights, etc.

Although her ability to make money is amazing, she is not good at managing assets, and she used to support a group of “vampires” including her parents.

After finally helping Britney get back on track, Wu Lei had to take the risk of entrusting her assets to Fan Wumian. In Wu Lei’s opinion, this was obviously not a wise decision.

Wu Lei felt that working with an overly sentimental employer like Britney was exhausting. Thinking that she might just be acting capriciously for a while, she decided to procrastinate and replied:

“I’ll help you find an investment advisor to investigate Van’s company first. I’ve seen the previous news, but people don’t seem to be optimistic about those projects.”

Britney has grown up through a lot of things that have happened in the past few years.

She then asked: “Do you think Van is great? I mean in terms of making money.”

Wu Lei said without hesitation:

“Of course he is amazing. When he became famous in the United States because of “A Quiet Place”, his total net worth was not as high as yours. Now he has become a super rich man. Look at the lyrics of the Chinese songs written by Van, and you will find that even among the Chinese, he is a particularly talented genius. A true genius!”

Britney Spears smiled and said:
“That’s fine. Instead of trusting our own brains, we should trust smart people like him.”

“My best friend Paris Hilton is also smart and is particularly good at turning fame into wealth. Last year, she earned tens of millions of dollars by licensing her name to produce perfumes, toiletries, women’s bags and shoes.”

“But when she mentioned Van, her eyes lit up. She said that if she had the chance to date Van, she would dump Stavros Niarchos III without hesitation. Even the heir to the Greek shipping family was not as attractive as Van.”

It’s rare to see Britney being so smart, Wu Lei was speechless.

He only subconsciously glanced at the books such as “The Art of Thick Black”, “The Art of War” and “Thirty-Six Strategies” on the table.

I wonder how Fan Wumian managed to turn a stupid blonde girl who likes “sisterhood” into such a smart girl. I don’t know whether it is a good thing or a bad thing. (End of this chapter)
