Chapter 163: Forbes celebrity list, billionaires born after 1985
In April 2010, the project of "My Fair Princess", which has been much hyped by the outside world, was announced, and the relevant creative lineup was announced, which is basically composed of newcomers.
Ziwei Hailu, Xiaoyanzi Li Sheng, fifth elder brother Zhang Rui and Erkang Gao Ziqi.
Strictly speaking, these can't be considered newcomers. Several of them have been in the industry for several years, but sometimes the entertainment industry is like this. It doesn't count based on your age of debut, but your popularity.
As long as you are a young actor, it doesn't matter how many years you have been in the industry. As long as you are not famous, you are a newcomer.
Of the four most important actors, two are on stage and one is in a medium-sized film. Only Xiao Yanzi is a non-major actor and can be considered a talent show debut.
These four have also signed a contract with Modu Chuangyi Culture. The boss behind this company is Qiong Yao, who is quite famous. In the early years, Zhao, Lin Xinru, and Fan Xiaopang all came from this company.
As a national IP that was very popular in Asia at the time, with many top hits, and still has several super stars, the influence of "My Fair Princess" is no joke.
The new version of Little Swallows and Ziwei quickly received intensive exposure from the media, and actors also began to emerge.
It's just that most people focus on the four male and female leads, especially the two female leads, but they ignore that the third male lead who plays [Xiao Jian] is also an acquaintance.
"Brother Hang, congratulations."
Wei Yang happily called to congratulate, and Li Jiahang couldn't hide his happiness, but there were still some regrets.
"This company is too stingy. If you don't praise it unless you own people, I might lose Erkan."
Wei Yang smiled: "How about I help you terminate the contract?"
"No, no, no."
Li Jiahang said righteously: "What's so good about Erkang is that our company has a bright future. Boss, please don't tarnish my loyalty."
"Get lost."
Wei Yang laughed and scolded: "I see that the actresses in the news are quite good. Don't be busy filming every day. They deserve to be hired."
"Isn't that Hailu?"
Li Jiahang was stunned: "It's not like you don't know me, you're too familiar with me to make a move."
Hai Lu was in the 04-level acting department. She was in the same class as Chen Chichi and Zhao Ji. We all interacted with each other on a regular basis and had a good relationship. If she had an idea, she would pursue it long ago.
"I'm talking about the other one, little Yanzi. Don't you just like the one with big eyes?"
"Are her eyes big?"
Li Jiahang muttered, and Wei Yang didn't complain about his tough talk. With this guy's character, if he really fell in love with him later, he would definitely come over with a shy face and ask for advice.
When Wei Yang initially agreed to Li Jiahang's filming of "My Fair Princess", he put his reputation aside and mainly helped him find a wife.
In his previous life, the couple was harmoniously matched, but Wei Yang didn't want to cause his brother and his wife to die due to the butterfly effect.
"By the way, Lao Wei, no, Brother Yang, I want to ask you a favor."
After chatting for a few words, Li Jiahang suddenly spoke up. As soon as Wei Yang heard him calling him brother, he knew that this guy was going to cause trouble.
"explain."
"What about that? Didn't I just join the cast of "Love Apartment 2"? The crew usually likes to get together for dinner and drinks. One time when the atmosphere was good, I drank too much. Well..."
Li Jiahang was a little embarrassed, and Wei Yang asked confusedly: "Who did you sleep with? Or did you let someone sleep with you?"
"No, it's like this..."
Li Jiahang explained with a grimace that everyone in "Love Apartment" knew that he and Wei Yang had a good relationship. At a party, they talked about guest appearances, and they didn't know who could ask Wei Yang to make a guest appearance. Then a few people started talking about Li Jiahang and Lou Yi.
Xiao.
At that time, everyone was drunk and a little high. In addition, the two of them were quiet and good-natured, so they couldn't help but refuse, so they agreed to give it a try.
Later, when she sobered up, Lou Yixiao didn't dare to call, so she insisted on transferring the matter to Li Jiahang.
"I didn't want to trouble you at first, so I made excuses to reject it, but the director Wei Zheng is very sincere. Didn't he almost ask you to play Lu Ziqiao before? He has always regretted it, so he has a knot in his heart.
So I want to call you to invite you alone. I have called me several times and I have been very sincere. I can’t stop you. You see, why don’t you give him a reply and find any excuse to refuse? Just pick me out."
Wei Yang was aware of Li Jiahang's problems. He was a good-natured person who valued feelings and was not good at rejecting friends. Many times, he would easily become soft-hearted when asked.
That is to say, he knew that Wei Yang was afraid of trouble. He had already blocked him several times, and he only spoke when he couldn't hold on any longer.
If it were his own business, he would probably have nodded.
Wei Yang is still very accepting of his problem, mainly because he needs it. Sometimes he needs help in private. He just needs to say a few soft words, and Li Jiahang will curse him, but he will still come out to cover for him at critical moments.
.
In the eyes of Xiao Zhao and Liu Shishi, Li Jiahang was a heavy drinker, an avid fan of nightclubs and online games, dependent on his brothers, the king of lovelorn people, with a private life that was not very good... and even a bit gay.
Since you enjoy the convenience, you naturally have to endure some troubles caused by it.
"When will your crew finish filming?"
"July and August."
"Just in time, I will graduate from school at the end of June. I have to go back and happen to be a guest star on your set. I have agreed in advance and I will give you two days of time."
Li Jiahang was a little surprised: "It's true or false."
"I'm just kidding, I don't have time for other people to make guest appearances, but I can't give it to my brother Hang, so I have to go. I'll ask the team to contact your crew later."
"Brother Yang is awesome, I'll treat you when you get back."
"There's no need for a treat, just remember one thing. You are interested in Nazha, and I usually help you connect. Don't let it slip. Well, that's it. It's time to film. I'm done."
"..."
Before Li Jiahang could start to be "polite", Wei Yang hung up the phone.
Good brothers help each other. If Li Jiahang has any similar needs in the future, he will help without hesitation, but if not, forget it...
…
In addition to Li Jiahang's participation in "The Return of the Princess", Wei Yang is currently paying more attention to the other two works of Blue Whale in addition to filming.
"This is the First Time in My Life" and "Hello, Old Time"
The latter is currently still in post-production, but the copyright has been sold. Due to the priority contract terms, the platforms are still Modu TV and Youku Video.
The first round of the TV version was aired exclusively on stars, with a single episode selling for 1.2 million yuan, and the entire series of 30 episodes, with a total price of 36 million yuan.
Youku Video offered a price of RMB 200,000 per episode, and a total of RMB 6 million won the online broadcast rights.
This price is already quite good. After all, the cost of the TV series is here. Apart from Liu Shishi, the main creative team does not have a very popular actor. The main reason why the price can be sold at such a high price is because of the influence of the first two series and Wei Yang's signature.
The first round + webcast is 42 million, and the total of patch and advertisement placement is about 12 million. If the subsequent second and third rounds go well, it is estimated to be more than 10 million.
Coupled with other miscellaneous income, the total income of "Hello, Old Times" is expected to reach 70 million.
Of course, you have to deduct various expenses such as filming, publicity and distribution costs, taxes, etc., but the final net profit should not exceed 50 million.
Even so, the money-making ability of this project is even close to catching up with the previous "My Love from the Star".
However, projects like this are really rare.
The previous work had great influence and a golden name, the cost is not high, and the profit margin is considerable. As long as the operation is not stretched, you can make money with your eyes closed.
In comparison, "This is the First Time in My Life" is a relatively normal income from high-quality film and television projects.
The investment cost was less than 10 million, which was split 50-50 between Blue Whale and Tang Ren. Most of the funds were provided by the sponsors found by Blue Whale, and it took 35% of the share.
When the show "My Love from the Star" was originally sold, the online broadcast rights were also sold to LeTV, with a profit of more than 4 million.
Since the first-run broadcast rights were under the name of Blue Whale and Tang Dynasty, and Wei Yang was the chief screenwriter, it was favored by Star TV. In the end, the two satellite TV stations joined forces and sold a single episode of 650,000 yuan, and the total of the 28 episodes of the drama was nearly 18 million.
The copyright of local satellite TV, pre-roll advertisements and a small amount of implants add up to less than 5 million.
Adding up the cumulative total, the total revenue in the early period was 28 million. After subtracting costs and expenses, each company divided the profit. Blue Whale almost made a net profit of more than 4 million.
If the TV series does well in the future and its influence increases, the second and third rounds and other income should be able to earn another 1 million to 2 million.
This profit ratio is definitely not comparable to "My Love from the Star" and "Hello, Old Times", but for many film and television companies, this is already pretty good.
Especially Blue Whale, apart from the script, there was almost no money or care. It made millions in vain and won a heroine, and all it needed was a bicycle.
The net profit of the two dramas "Blue Whale" was nearly 50 million. Boss Wei's net worth increased sharply, and the funds in his hands suddenly became abundant.
Of course, this part of the funds is still in the process of being withdrawn, and Wei Yang is not in a hurry. Even if it is received, he will not touch it without permission.
After the filming of "East Palace" and "Shanshan Is Coming" are completed, the company will devote its energy to recruiting and training enough talents, and the stall will be spread out, and the money will only feel that it is not enough, and it will never be too much.
Wei Yang feels that he is just getting started, but in the eyes of outsiders, he is already a peerless hunk.
In the new issue of Forbes' real-time celebrity rankings, Wei Yang shot to the top of the list from the top five two months ago.
In less than May, his income has already reached 150 million, surpassing Dayao, Jay Chou, Cheng Long, and Fan Xiaopang to become the most profitable artist this year.
After the Forbes list was announced, many people's first reaction was disbelief, because although Wei Yang is popular now, his time is too short, and his status and fame are still far behind those of these few. How can he earn more?
.
But Forbes didn’t just rank them randomly, and they quickly announced the reasons.
At the end of last year, "My Love from the Star" became a hit. Wei Yang and Fan Xiaopang were regarded as the kings of gold in the industry. They received various commercial endorsements and the related income was no less than that of Dayao.
Wei Yang's salary and other income may not be as good as those of international superstars and Asian kings such as Cheng Long and Jay Chou, but they cannot resist his strong commercial attributes.
According to Forbes' estimates, these dramas such as "Blue Whale" will earn him at least tens of millions.
This kind of related film and television investment has always been listed as a focus by Forbes. Zhao Benshan and Zhang Guoli, who are also on the list, have the same main sources of income, but Wei Yang made more money and finally came out on top.
The exposure of Wei Yang's income made countless people marvel. It would be nothing more than a big hit. The most everyone could do was say sourly that he was lucky.
But this kind of film and television production, self-produced and sold, is not something ordinary people can do. It is a real skill.
150 million, which is less than half a year!
The Forbes ranking made Wei Yang a figure at the forefront.
Not only the entertainment pages, but also the social and financial pages have begun to pay attention to this young post-85s billionaire...
