The number one on this year's list is still Cao Jun. This is also the fifth year that he has topped this list. He is a well-deserved "king", the kind of king who is several blocks ahead of the second place.

In the past year, Cao Jun not only held more than 30 nationwide concert tours and easily earned 170 million, but also invested in and starred in many movies such as "Mermaid" and "Ghost Blowing the Lamp: The Secret of the Dragon", and this does not include

, Cao Jun’s commercial endorsement.

In 2016, with an income of 530 million yuan, Cao Jun deservedly ranked first on the Forbes China Celebrity List.

Ranked second is Fan Bingbing, who is known as the second best in millennium. She has been suppressed by Cao Jun for several years and has never had the chance to take the first place. In the past year, she won the title of village girl Li Xuelian with the movie "I am not Pan Jinlian".

After Yijiao was sealed again.

The female inspirational TV series "Win the World" starring and invested in it became popular before it was broadcast, attracting Tmall Technology to purchase its exclusive online broadcast rights at a sky-high price of 480 million yuan, which shows Fan Bingbing's ability to attract money.

The third-ranked Tanhua is Lu Han, the "top traffic". In the first half of this year, his four digital albums earned more than 40 million yuan, and he was crowned the sales king in the mainland music industry. His costume debut "Zhe Tian Ji" despite poor reputation

"After Yang Mi, there will be no more Bai Qian." The top spot on the celebrity list belongs to "Qingqiu Empress Bai Qian." The 2017 opening drama "Three Lives Three Worlds Ten Miles of Peach Blossom" starring Yang Mi has more than 40 billion online views, setting a new record.

The modern drama "Dear Translator" won the 2016 ratings championship with impressive results.

…

As for Cao Jun's girlfriends, they are basically all in the top 100 of Forbes' celebrity list. This is also thanks to Cao Jun helping them strategize behind the scenes so that they can always appear in front of the public.

However, Cao Jun now plans to gradually fade out of the public eye. Not only has he reduced his exposure, he has also become very cautious in selecting films.

Because for Cao Jun, time is so precious. It takes three to five months to make any movie, which is really a bit of a luxury.

Therefore, so far, Cao Jun only has one film contract on hand, and that is the movie "I'm Not the God of Medicine".

Cao Jun's current principle in selecting scripts is to strive for excellence. If the script is not good enough, he will never accept it. The remuneration does not matter, even zero remuneration is fine. As long as the script is good, Cao Jun can spend his own money to become a producer and create a brand new crew.

March 8, 7pm.

The movie "Mermaid" directed by Zhou Xingchi and co-starring Cao Jun and Lin Yun, successfully exceeded the 3.6 billion mark and became the highest-grossing domestic film in the history of China.

In order to celebrate this historic achievement, the organizers specially held a celebration banquet in Beijing.

Most of the creative staff, including Zhou Xingchi, Cao Jun, and Lin Yun, as well as major investors, participated in the celebration banquet.

Although the two films they collaborated on, "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" and "The Mermaid," both broke the box office record of Chinese movies, Cao Jun and Zhou Xingchi both knew very well that the chances of them continuing to collaborate not only did not increase, but actually changed.

The situation is becoming increasingly slim, which involves the distribution of interests among all parties.

After attending the celebration party for the movie "Mermaid", Cao Jun was just about to return to Fortune Mansion when he received a call from Zeng Li.

Zeng Li, who was on the other end of the phone, pretended to be calm and told Cao Jun: "Dear, I'm pregnant..."

Hearing Zeng Li's obviously trembling and crying voice, Cao Jun was stunned for a moment, but he quickly came to his senses and asked in disbelief: "Really? Are you really pregnant?"

"Really, can I still lie to you about this kind of thing? Come back soon, I miss you...I'm waiting for you at Ziyu Villa..."

"Okay, I'll go back right away!"

After talking to Zeng Li on the phone, Cao Jun immediately asked the driver to take him to Ziyu Villa.

Half an hour later.

Purple Jade Villa, Cao Mansion.

After reading Zeng Li's pregnancy test report at the hospital, it was revealed that she was already more than two months pregnant, technically 10 weeks already. Cao Jun had mixed feelings in his heart.

Because he spent the longest time with Zeng Li and had the deepest relationship with him, Cao Jun always felt that if he wanted to have a child, his first child should be born to Zeng Li. This was his doting on Zeng Li.

Now that Zeng Li is pregnant, Cao Jun has nothing to worry about and can finally branch out with peace of mind.

However, in Cao Jun's view, the top priority now is for Zeng Li to put down all his work and raise his baby at home.

Cao Jun took Zeng Li into his arms and said sincerely: "Mei Li, from today on, you don't have to go out to work anymore. No matter what job you have, just give it to me. Don't worry about liquidated damages or anything like that. I will take care of it."

"

After hearing what Cao Jun said, Zeng Li nodded obediently. Although he didn't say anything, tears still flowed down.

It's not easy, it's not easy.

In the past few years, in order to get pregnant and give birth to a child for Cao Jun, Zeng Li tried almost every method, but it just didn't work, which made her very desperate for a time.

As there is a saying, there is no way out after mountains and rivers, and there is a bright future in another village. Just when Zeng Li and Cao Jun had given up and did not consider having children, there was a turning point.

In order to enable Zeng Li to produce smoothly, Cao Jun specially spent a lot of money to invite the most authoritative expert team in the capital to "escort" Zeng Li.

As the saying goes, caution can sail the ship of ten thousand years. It is not easy to be pregnant and she is an advanced maternal age. Cao Jun can only do this and does not allow any mistakes.

In order to express his love for Zeng Li and to celebrate this happy event, Cao Jun directly rewarded Zeng Li with 288 million.

After Zeng Li became pregnant, Cao Jun relaxed a lot and began to look for his next target.

Because after Zeng Li became pregnant, it was only human nature for Cao Jun to have children with other girlfriends.

Cao Jun would not insist on having his own way. He would ask the other party's wishes in a subtle way. If the other party is willing to give him a child and gets pregnant, he will directly reward him with 100 million.

Of course, Cao Jun has no plans to completely quit the entertainment industry just yet. At least in 2017, in addition to participating in brand endorsement shooting and promotion, he will also participate in the movie "I'm Not the God of Medicine".

In Cao Jun's view, the movie "I'm Not the God of Medicine" is a must-act movie. If he doesn't act in it, he will regret it.

However, if nothing unexpected happens, after filming the movie "I'm Not the God of Medicine", Cao Jun will probably retire for a while, because he will definitely take time to accompany Zeng Li.

As for when to make a full comeback, it depends on the specific situation. Cao Jun is not in a hurry. He will see if there is a script that makes him excited before making other considerations.
