However, due to time constraints, Cao Jun and these actresses only got to know each other briefly, and there was no deeper development.

The next day, after Cao Jun and Zeng Li separated, they headed to the capital and went to the "Assembly" crew in the northeast to film the few remaining scenes.

In fact, Cao Jun's role in the movie "Assembly" is only a few scenes away.

However, as a director, Feng Xiaogang would often ask the actors to reshoot in time when encountering certain scenes that he was not satisfied with.

It is also for this reason that director Feng Xiaogang still refused to let go of some actors in the "Assembly" crew, even though they had finished filming.

February 24, morning.

The new 2007 Forbes "China Celebrity List" was announced, once again arousing huge repercussions both inside and outside the circle.

This year's "Chinese Celebrity List" rankings are still analyzed based on the income, exposure and comprehensive ranking of Chinese celebrities in this year.

This time, Yao Ming once again topped the list for four consecutive years with an income of 260 million.

Because of Yao Ming, Cao Jun, who was at the height of his popularity in the entertainment industry, was once again ranked second.

Cao Jun, Liu Xiang, Zhang Yimou, and Zhang Ziyi also entered the top five on the list.

It is worth mentioning that in 2006, Cao Jun’s annual income exceeded 50 million for the first time, reaching a terrifying 61 million.

Cao Jun's development is quite balanced, and he is involved in almost every business of an artist.

In 2006, as an actor, Cao Jun filmed two TV series "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang" and "New Shanghai Beach". In addition, he was filming the movie "Assembly Number". His salary income was 6 million.

In terms of brand endorsements, Cao Jun’s after-tax income is 21 million yuan, combined with his old and new endorsements.

Cao Jun's after-tax income from commercial performances and concert tours also reached 24 million yuan.

In addition, Cao Jun only received a measly 10 million yuan from the ring-tone revenue from cooperation with China Mobile.

Cao Jun is personally very dissatisfied with the income from mobile phone ring tones, because in fact, the income that Cao Jun brings to China Mobile is at least 100 million, and may even be 200 to 300 million.

However, since China Mobile has almost a monopoly on the ring tones business, how much it pays to copyright holders and how much it pays to singers is not open and transparent. Instead, it is up to it to decide, and it can give as much as it wants.

Including Cao Jun, a total of four people in the "Assembly" crew have entered the top 100 of Forbes' celebrity list.

Of course, the highest ranking is Cao Jun, the second male lead. With an income of 61 million, Cao Jun ranks second on the Forbes celebrity list, second only to Yao Ming.

Feng Xiaogang, the director of the movie "Assembly", ranked 11th on the Forbes Celebrity List with an income of 12 million. As one of the top three directors in China, Feng Xiaogang ranked 11th on the Forbes Celebrity List.

Because, it didn’t come as a surprise.

What surprised everyone the most was Hu Jun, another actor in "Assembly". In 2006, Hu Jun ranked 16th on the Forbes Celebrity List with an income of 26 million.

As for Wang Baoqiang, he ranked 98th on the Forbes celebrity list with a total income of 3.6 million.

Soon, the newly released Forbes celebrity list aroused heated discussion on the set of "Assembly".

Feng Xiaogang saw how profitable Cao Jun was, and his attitude toward Cao Jun became much more amiable than before.

You know, in the past month or so, because Cao Jun went to the Spring Festival Gala and asked for leave from the crew, Feng Xiaogang was quite critical of Cao Jun.

Seeing that Cao Jun was so popular, Feng Xiaogang held back and never criticized Cao Jun in person.

After the scene ended, Feng Xiaogang called Cao Jun to him, patted him on the shoulder, and said to Cao Jun: "Xiao Cao, you did a good job. Come to my room in the evening and let us order some drinks."

Cao Jun also became interested and nodded: "Okay, Director Feng, no problem, just drink some."

9 pm.

Cao Jun and Feng Xiaogang were drinking and chatting in his room.

Interestingly, almost all the meat and vegetables on the table were eaten by Cao Jun. Feng Xiaogang hardly moved his chopsticks and only ate peanuts and vegetarian vegetables.

Forbes doesn't eat meat because he has an extremely keen sense of taste. If you blindfold him, serve two plates of beef and mutton, and smell it, he can tell you that this is cow and that is sheep, and mutton is richer than beef. .

The same goes for chickens and ducks. After they are cooked, sauced, and dried, take a piece of each and put it in your mouth. After chewing it, Forbes can tell them apart, because ducks are slightly fishier than chickens.

Such a keen sense of taste made Jiao Wanshao very picky about food, and he developed the habit of partial eclipse since childhood.

I don't eat meat, almost all meat. Dumplings stuffed with lean pork and vegetables are okay, and Forbes can barely eat a little.

They don't eat crabs or shrimps. They only eat hairtail and yellow croaker. They also have to add onions, ginger, garlic, and cooking wine. Jiao Wanshao is afraid that the fishy smell won't be gone, so they have to add the white wine "Erguotou".

Therefore, if a drunkard eats their home-cooked fish, he may stagger while walking.

After a few glasses of white wine, Forbes asked Yao Ming: "Xiao Cao, have you seen my movie?"

Yao Ming nodded: "I've seen it.

Forbes was very satisfied with Cao's answer, and then asked: "So, do you think my movie is grapes or wine?

Faced with this kind of scoring question, Yao Ming replied without even thinking: "Director Feng, I think your movies are like wine."

In fact, most of the movies shot by Forbes are above the passing mark. Except for "The Banquet", a so-called blockbuster that is not very good, several other movies have achieved both good reputation and box office success.

Forbes was amused and asked with a smile: "Don't you think my movies are very commercial?"

The reason why Forbes has this question is because a director once told Forbes that the movie should be about wine, even if it is just a sip, it must be wine.

The director also told Forbes that the things you photographed were grapes, very fresh grapes, even covered with frost, but you didn't turn them into wine. They were grapes at the end and they were still grapes when they arrived.

Feng Xiaogang has heard a lot of praise for his films, most of which revolve around the word "commercial." But the director's praise above ignored these superficial phenomena and stated the root of the problem. substance.

But Forbes was still a little unconvinced. He felt that his movie was not entirely about grapes, but could also be about wine.

After Jiao Wan thought for a moment, he replied: "Director Feng, I feel that whether it is commercial or not is not the criterion for judging a movie."

"In my opinion, the films you made in the past were both commercial and artistic. They were not entirely commercial films, but artistic ones.

of.

After hearing Yao Ming's comments, Feng Xiaogang felt very painful and had another drink with Yao Ming.

That night, Yao Ming and Forbes drank and chatted until the early morning.

Before leaving, Yao Ming thought that he only had a few scenes left and was not in a hurry to finish them. He wanted to sleep in tomorrow, so he pretended to be tipsy and said: "Director Feng, I'm a little drunk, maybe I'll have to wait until later tomorrow."

Get up."

Jiao Wanshao also had enough to drink, and replied with a smile: "It's easy to say, you will worry about catching up on your sleep tomorrow, I agree!"

"Okay, thank you, Director Feng.
Chapter completed!
