The most lively entertainment industry in May is the tour to Cannes by the carpet stars.
The entertainment page headlines of major websites, looking at the photos of beautiful red carpets, I don’t know how much public relations and publicity costs they spent.
Another thing worth noting is that the "2015 China Forbes Celebrity List" was released, and Ye Cheng inexplicably ranked 95th.
Ye Cheng flipped through the newly released celebrity list and looked at it for a while and said, "What's the list? Li Yongjie is a Chinese American and Zou Yong is a Canadian. Can they also be selected into the "Chinese Celebrity List"?"
Yang Weishuo smiled and said, "What do you care about so much? As long as you are on the list yourself, it's okay to go with the flow."
"It's not right," Ye Cheng pointed to his own line on the list and said, "My income last year was 13.5 million. How did they count this data?"
This "Forbes Chinese Celebrity List" counts the data from March last year to March this year. Ye Cheng made his debut in August last year with "Good Chinese Songs". He has to wait until October to make a lot of money. How could his income be 13.5 million?
Yang Weishuo explained: "This list calculates pre-tax income, and does not deduct the share of brokerage companies and supervisory units. For example, if you take an advertising endorsement now, your actual income is only over 1 million, but when Forbes China counts, it is calculated based on 4.5 million."
Ye Cheng was extremely speechless, and he was counting a lot like this. He also made 1 million, but some stars could only get 200,000. Some stars could get 800,000. According to the calculation method of this list, they all made 1 million.
In addition to commercial performances and endorsements, Forbes China Celebrity List also calculates pre-tax income in cultural and entertainment industry activities such as film and television works, sports competitions, book publishing, etc. However, the personal investment of celebrities is not included. For example, Ye Cheng's income from opening an online store selling guitars and clothing will not be displayed on the celebrity list even if he earns 100 million yuan.
For example, Guo Xiaosi, who invested in making movies, Forbes China only calculates his novel royalties and director pay, and will not be included in his movie box office dividends.
Ye Cheng's celebrity list information was finally released
Ye Cheng: Singer, actor, writer; comprehensive ranking 95; annual income ranking 94 (13.5 million); online ranking 65; newspaper ranking 98; TV and magazine ranking 96; character comments: inspirational young idols, talented singer-songwriters, creating a Chinese style and a new folk song trend, a new force that cannot be ignored in the Chinese music scene.
This celebrity list calculates the comprehensive ranking of annual income and the exposure rate of the Internet, newspapers, TV and magazines. Ye Cheng's online exposure rate is extremely high, thus increasing his overall ranking.
No matter how credible the celebrity list is, as long as Ye Cheng is on the list, it is something worth celebrating for him personally.
Ye Cheng said: "Brother Yang, it is best to arrange less business notices in the next two or three months."
"Because you want to make a TV series?" Yang Weishuo asked.
Ye Cheng nodded and said, "Yes, I'm afraid I can't be busy with too much."
Yang Weishuo said helplessly: "You really give me a headache. How could you think of making a TV series?"
Ye Cheng smiled and said, "I suddenly had this idea, so I have to try it."
Yang Weishuo thought to say, "4 commercial activities and 1 media visit every month, which is the least arrangement. You must maintain exposure for a long time."
There are 4 commercial activities per month, which is an average of 7 days. Ye Cheng nodded and said, "Yes."
Yang Weishuo asked again: "What about the second season of "Extreme Men's Gang"? It will be recorded in July."
Ye Cheng said: "The TV series starts filming in July. I'm afraid I don't have much time, so I'll just step back."
"You are the old man now, you have the final say." Yang Weishuo said angrily. Ye Cheng is the time to be the most popular. He keeps stir-frying, coupled with frequent activities and exposure, Yang Weishuo is confident that he will praise Ye Cheng as a first-line artist this year, but Ye Cheng went to make some TV series, which disrupted his plan.
Ye Cheng smiled and said, "Thank you Brother Yang for your understanding."
Yang Weishuo said again: "I have to remind you that you became famous as a singer. This is your foundation. Whether you are doing commercial performances to make money or making TV series, you must not forget your identity as a singer. It's time for you to release a new single!"
Ye Cheng nodded: "I have a new song plan and I will be able to come out next month."
...
It is not new to be on the celebrity list in the first year of debut. In the past few years, many talent shows have done it, and they are directly ranked in the top 50.
But from August last year to March this year, it took Ye Cheng only half a year to be on the list, which was a bit scary. The media reported on the fastest-listed stars as the selling point to report their dreams, of course, the company was promoting them later.
Guangdong Province, Huadu.
Zhuoyue mobile phone new product launch conference.
Ye Cheng walked onto the stage in a suit. With the continuous flashing of lights on the scene, Ye Cheng walked to the event background board to sign his name.
The beautiful staff came to Ye Cheng with a cheongsam and holding a new mobile phone. Ye Cheng started posing with his phone and smiled for the reporters to take photos.
As the spokesperson of Excellent Mobile, Ye Cheng is obliged to participate in the new product launch event, which was originally written into the endorsement agreement.
After the event, Ye Cheng was surrounded by reporters.
A reporter asked first: "Ye Cheng, how do you feel about being selected for the Forbes Chinese Celebrity List this time?"
Ye Cheng replied with a smile: "I feel very surprised and happy."
Another reporter asked: "There are rumors that you have withdrawn from the second season of "Extreme Men's Gang"?"
Ye Cheng nodded and said, "Because of schedule issues, I can only express my regret."
The reporter asked: "Do you have a plan for a new song?"
Ye Cheng said: "The new song will be released soon, and I hope everyone can pay attention to it then."
The reporter asked: "Can you reveal the new song type? Chinese style or new folk song?"
Ye Cheng smiled and said, "It's the first popular rock."
The reporter asked: "The Chinese style is very popular now, why is your new song not Chinese style?"
Ye Cheng said: "No matter how delicious the dish is, it will be fucked by eating it every day. You can keep it fresh by changing the taste frequently."
The reporter asked: "Some netizens counted that your guitar brand earned 20 million in two months. Are you so successful in business? Do you plan to invest in other businesses?"
Ye Cheng smiled and said, "It is impossible that there is so much 20 million, netizens have exaggerated it. I have investments. Recently, I established a film and television company, and the company's first TV series is being applied for project approval."
"Wow!" The scene was in an uproar.
These entertainment reporters are just routine questions, but they didn't expect to ask for big news.
A reporter immediately asked excitedly: "What type of TV series is it? Will you be the director and the male lead yourself?"
Ye Cheng deliberately broke the news, and his purpose was nothing more than to use the reporter's hands to hype "Love Apartment" in advance. He said: "The director of the new drama is Mr. Fang Zhuomin, the director of the MV of "Blue and White Porcelain". Although I will not participate in the drama, I am the producer and screenwriter of this drama. I also hope that all journalists can help with the publicity."
Ye Cheng opened a film and television company and wanted to be a producer and shoot TV series by himself!
This news spread rapidly with the launch of the new product of Zhuoyue Mobile. For Ye Cheng and Gao Yuanyuan fans, this was definitely explosive news, and it also surprised many passers-by.
oo Entertainment News said: "Ye Cheng never plays according to common sense. When his records were the most popular, he suddenly went to write novels as a writer; when the celebrity reality show was popular, he went to become a brand and became a boss; now he actually founded a film and television company and became a producer. I said that I really can't guess Ye Cheng's idea. Here I can only wish Ye Dong a hot new drama."
Most people question Ye Cheng's behavior of opening a company to shoot TV series.
The famous film and television producer and gold medal director Zhang Chaoting was asked by reporters about his opinion on Ye Cheng’s TV series at the press conference of his new film. Zhang Chaoting said: "Ye Cheng, I know that he is an excellent singer and writer. But singing well and writing well does not mean that he can make excellent TV series. It is a good thing for young people to be aggressive, but don’t make decisions blindly. It is not so easy for film and television producers to be successful. I hope he can succeed."
The next day, a media reported: "Zhang Chaoting saw Ye Cheng's weakness and believed that his investment in TV series was an overestimation of his ability."
The media's headline party news quickly attracted the approval of many netizens.
Netizen "Cheering as a cry" said: "Ye Cheng just entered the Forbes Chinese Celebrity List and made a lot of money by selling guitars. I think his self-confidence has expanded to the extreme and he thought he could accomplish anything."
Netizen "I am your father" is even more rude: "Ye Cheng, do you think filming TV series is a meal, I wish you all your investment."
Ye Cheng's fans were positive, and Weibo, Tieba and fan groups were discussing this matter enthusiastically.
"Yezi is so tricky, the producer sounds so tall and generous."
"I'm a little worried. Is Fang Zhuomin a man who shoots MVs capable of being a TV series director?"
"Anyway, I am an unconditional supporter, and the breeder is mighty!"
"Ye Zi has been listed on the Chinese celebrity list, so this is really worth celebrating."
"I only look forward to Ye Cheng's new song."
