Debuted right after graduating from high school

After several days of planning, the advertisement for the virtual celebrity "Matilda F" was completed.

Next, the old advertisement featuring Jennifer Connelly, the previous spokesperson for North America, will be replaced, and posters featuring "Matilda F" will be displayed at the entrances or in the display cases of 21 Valentino directly operated stores across the United States, as well as nearly 80 sales points.

They also rented a giant advertising space in Times Square, New York and Rodeo Drive, Los Angeles, for a total of approximately $470 million.

Valentino's influence in Europe and America is not yet very significant, and it previously lacked funds for expansion. Since acquiring the company, Fan Wumian has been mainly busy developing in Asia and has not paid much attention to the North American market for the time being.

Now that Valentino has established a foothold in Asia and has a large number of young people who are familiar with it, the company has ample funds in its accounts. It's time to think of ways to earn more revenue from consumers in developed countries in Europe and America.

Consumers in Europe and America only recognize brands like LV, Chanel, Hermes, and Givenchy. To win over high-quality customers from these brands, companies must spend more money to increase exposure. If they continue to make money in Asia but use the profits to subsidize the European and American markets, it will be difficult to achieve a virtuous cycle in business operations.

Fan Wumian believes that the marketing of the virtual female celebrity "Matilda F" is worth a big push.

Most middle-aged and elderly customers have already formed their mindset and may not be interested in this, but as long as young people around the world think "she" is cool and thus remember the Valentino brand, then this marketing campaign will be a success.

Once these young people graduate and start working, and gain purchasing power, they may widely recognize the luxury image of the Valentino brand, thus recouping the huge marketing and promotion costs invested, with a profit.

Fan Wumian looked at Kim Kardashian and asked:

"How many followers do you have on Facebook and my Microblog? How about Paris?"

Kim Kardashian, not understanding, obediently replied:
"I recently surpassed 5 million followers on Facebook. Paris has a little more, I think she has over 8 million. I also use your Microblog often. It's great for chatting with friends and handling work matters. I used to have to make phone calls everywhere, but now I can notify many people at the same time in a chat group, which is very convenient. She has about 700,000 to 800,000 followers."

The difference in the number of followers also shows that the international version of Tencent Weibo is indeed not as good as Facebook in terms of the number of active users. Its advantage lies in the fact that the users of Microblog are generally younger.

Middle-aged people like to build social networks on Facebook, but the emergence of Microblog has given netizens another option. Many young people have focused their social networking efforts on Microblog, using it to share their lives, date, or connect with friends.

Having tasted the success of cultivating the online game market in mainland China, Fan Wumian recently suggested to Pony Ma that he should discuss cooperation with Valve Games, the company that owns the Steam gaming platform. Players can buy, download, discuss, upload, and share games and software on this platform, which has a very promising market prospect.

After she finished speaking, Fan Wumian beckoned Kim Kardashian closer with his finger, then lowered his voice and said:
"Tomorrow at noon, please post a message on each of these two platforms about Valentino shoes. The message will make you invincible on dates, always arousing men's desires, as if you have magic powers to quickly win them over."

"Don't worry, I won't let you help me for nothing. How about I give you a few more Land Rovers and Aston Martins? You can give these cars to your family; they're worth around $50."

"If you could find men to help you with the promotion, that would be great. The Christmas shopping season has already begun, and I hope to increase sales through you, Paris, and Britney."

Knowing that Fan Wumian was using her, she still felt fortunate to be used sometimes.

Kim Kardashian smiled just right, covered her chest with her hand, and replied enthusiastically:
"Of course, no problem, but I'm not quite sure what to write. Shall we discuss it somewhere else after the party?"

Hear the words.

Fan Wumian didn't know what to say.

Britney Spears secretly rolled her eyes, suspecting that Kim Kardashian had been particularly craving men lately, being so proactive that even she, as a woman herself, could hardly stand it.

However, considering that Kim Kardashian would even release her own explicit private videos to grab attention, Britney wasn't too surprised and changed the subject, saying:

"Van, I'm leaving tomorrow to film a segment reviewing islands, from a run-down island worth $1 to a luxurious private island worth $1 million. It'll probably take a week. Would you like to come with us?"

Fan Wumian asked:
"You guys? Who else will participate in the recording?"

"I recently took a yacht trip and spent two days on a tranquil island in the Maldives. The feeling of being like a king, as if I were on another planet, was really comfortable."

"Perhaps we could put on a show and buy an island as a gift to the winner of the competition."

“Great idea, I’ll write it down now.”

Britney Spears opened her first-generation iPhone, quickly jotted down the idea for the show in her notes app, and then added:

“I’ve been to Musa Island, owned by magician David Copperfield, as well as Bora Bora and Windermere in Tahiti, where you can find peace and forget all your troubles.”

"How about coming on vacation with us? It'll just be me and a few friends, Wang, Vicky, and a few people from the production crew. Natalie Portman will also be joining us."

"We rented a regional jet, and luckily we had extra seats."

Fan Wumian hesitated, mainly because the programs on the Monster Lady account were complicated and too exhausting to record. They had to travel to several islands in just one week, leaving no time to relax and enjoy themselves.

Therefore, he shook his head and politely declined, saying:

"Let's skip this one. After being at sea for almost two months, the sight of the ocean is making me a bit nauseous. I guess it will take some time before I can adjust my mindset. What has Natalie Portman, who starred in 'Léon: The Professional,' been up to lately? We haven't heard much about her lately."

Britney said:
"She's always filming. I've known her for over ten years, and she just invited me to the premiere of her movie 'Magrim's Toy Shop' last week. Maybe there's less news about her in Asia, which is why you don't know her."

Kim Kardashian might have some thoughts of "competing" with Paris Hilton, but she wouldn't dare to do anything too outrageous in front of Britney Spears.

This month, Britney Spears was first named the "Queen of Controversy" by the media, with 60% of young people choosing her in surveys. Just a few days ago, she was also voted "Best Comeback Star," demonstrating her enduring popularity. Britney has a huge following among young Americans, and if she were to be disliked, countless fans would likely follow suit.

Kim Kardashian knew this all too well, and with Fan Wumian present, she pretended to be a lady and interjected:

"Britney, are you going to the World Islands in Dubai? A British tycoon once invited me to Dubai to see his islands, but I declined on the spot."

Britney smiled and said:

"What he wants you to admire is definitely more than just his island; he just wants to show off his wealth and take advantage of you. The World Islands weren't even on the itinerary; the $1 million island is Ronde Island in Mauritius."

Speaking of the Dubai World Islands project, last month a mainland businessman spent US$2800 million to buy "Shanghai Island" in the World Islands project and announced that he would develop 70 villas and a luxury hotel.

Fan Wumian's first thought after reading the news was that the island owner of Shanghai Island and the buyers who had paid deposits in advance were probably going to suffer.

During his trip to Dubai to record a video, the local government gifted him and Britney a villa on Palm Jumeirah. After receiving them, they never went back to spend the holiday there. Instead, they have been converted into a resort hotel and rented out, which is a way of making use of the waste and avoiding complete waste.

Drinking and chatting, socializing with all sorts of strangers.

Around 10 p.m., Fan Wumian was a little drunk again. He found a quiet place in Paris Hilton's small estate and talked on the phone with Pu Jiajing and Guo Bitu for a few minutes. He also sent text messages to Zuo Ziyan and Zhuang Muxi to report his latest activities.

There's no way around it; girls are always particularly good at overthinking. If you proactively share more about your itinerary, it's easier for them to have the illusion that "everything is under control."

Just as he was about to say hello to Paris Hilton and then go back to the hotel to rest, a young woman wearing a backless evening gown almost tripped and fell in front of him.

Fan Wumian subconsciously reached out to help her up, and then realized that this girl was none other than Amber Heard, the "Queen of the Sea." In her previous life, her divorce case with Johnny Depp, the actor who played the "Pirate Captain," was known to the whole world, and she ruined her promising career.

Because of the countless negative memories left in his mind, such as Amber Heard abusing her husband Johnny Depp and "smearing feces on the bed" in Depp's bedroom, Fan Wumian felt that this chance encounter was not so simple. He did not want to have anything to do with this crazy woman. After helping her up, he only said "be careful" and then left.

Amber Heard was left with a bewildered expression, deeply wondering if he was gay.

Just like many elderly people like to take advantage of their age to gain other benefits, some beautiful women are also good at leveraging their advantages and are really eager to improve themselves.

The feeling of being surrounded by countless girls is exciting at first, but it gradually becomes numb over time and can even feel a bit annoying.
--------------

The next morning.

The progress of the marketing plan surrounding the virtual star "Matilda F" was compiled into Fan Wumian's email address.

The first step in creating a star had just begun. He took a special trip to Rodeo Drive and found that a giant poster of Matilda F. had been put up, and it was very pleasing to the eye no matter how you looked at it.

Subsequent marketing strategies are underway, including online and fashion media promotion, creating a fake profile on Wikipedia, and other initiatives, with the aim of quickly making this virtual star famous through hype.

Having not brought many clothes with me, and noting that Los Angeles winters are a bit colder than I expected, Fan Wumian went into a boutique menswear store while shopping on Rodeo Drive after watching an advertisement.

He had just picked out a few clothes to try on when the fitting room door suddenly opened. A tall, beautiful, blonde, blue-eyed saleswoman smiled and asked him:
"I do some part-time work after get off work. Just call me if you need anything. Other customers need to make appointments, but I'm always available whenever you contact me, like right now?"

Fan Wumian was stunned for a moment before he realized what was happening. He held up two fingers to close the door and said:

"Thank you, but no need, I'm not that kind of person."

A few seconds later.

Another sexy saleswoman with brown hair opened the door and peeked in to ask him:

"If you don't like my friend, what about me? For $1, we can both belong to you."

Fan Wumian just smacked his lips and sighed:
"It seems like the pressure of life in Los Angeles is really high. It's driven good people to such extremes. I don't need it, but I can give you a little extra tip after I buy the clothes."

In many of the high-end hotels I've stayed in, there are elegantly dressed girls wandering around in the evenings looking for suitable guests; I've gotten used to it after seeing it so many times.

Fan Wumian didn't take it to heart at all.

I just happened to remember seeing a short video once, about a talented but unappreciated arthouse film director who, due to a lack of money, switched to making adult films. Because of its depth, meaning, and comfortable camera work, it unexpectedly became famous and popular.

Following this line of thought, he felt that he could enrich the female lead's storyline, for example, by setting her as a female college student who couldn't afford tuition and chose to take a shortcut. She originally just wanted to make some quick money, but her classmates discovered her because of her adult film, causing a huge uproar at school. This kind of story could have been a box office hit.

Low-budget films like this, which push the boundaries and easily pique audience interest, are perfect for launching the careers of new actors.

Fan Wumian first thought of Dadario, but she had already taken on commercial blockbusters such as "Twilight" and "Star Trek", and no longer needed to rely on flaunting her sex appeal to become famous.

Then, he felt that he should go through Hong Kong's Holy Fire Meow Meow Agency to acquire a star agency in Hollywood in order to avoid wasting too much money on film salaries. Almost all the major film and television companies in the area are involved in agency business and try to use their own contracted actors.

A-list actresses like Julia Roberts are advertised to earn $2000 million per film, but in reality, a portion is taken by their agencies, and after taxes and other expenses, they only receive about seven or eight million dollars.

First I thought of Julia Roberts, then I was unexpectedly reminded of her niece, Emma Roberts. This young, slender actress born in the 90s seems quite suitable for playing roles in these kinds of teen-themed, borderline films. (End of Chapter)
