This star is too fierce

Chapter 395, off to a good start

The double harvest of ratings and word-of-mouth of "The Star Herding Sheep" gave Lu Bu a good start in 2007.

Last year, I made four small goals and reached another level.

The 2007 Forbes "China Celebrity List" was recently announced. This is the fourth year that the magazine has used detailed data to analyze the income, exposure rate and comprehensive ranking of Chinese celebrities in a year, which is an evaluation that reflects commercial value and influence.

Lu Bu benefited from the overseas influence of the movie "Mythology", the TV series "Full House", and the Asian Games archery double gold medals. He overwhelmed Yao Min and Liu Xiang, and for the first time ranked first in the comprehensive list and annual income list.

In addition, Zhang Yimou's imperial masterpiece "Golden Flowers in the City" created a new record high box office for Chinese movies, and "Qin Shihuang" debuted in the Metropolis of New York, making his commercial value in 2006 reach 3500 million, ranking fourth overall and ranking No. sixth.

Gong Li also shined at home and abroad due to the successive releases of "Miami Vice" and "Curse of the Golden Flower". His income of 4600 million surpassed all female stars, ranking fifth in both overall ranking and income.

Lang Lang's selection adds a bright spot to this year's list. He ranks first in the literary and art circle with 1.5 million income, followed by the Twelve Girls Band with 1.3 million.

It can be said that both elegant music and folk art have their own markets. Zhao Benshan’s “Liu Laogen Grand Stage” and Guo Degang’s “Deyun Club” brought Errenzhuan and cross talk back to the small theater after a long absence. Both of them entered the top [-] on the list .

In terms of the Internet, the grassroots stars on the Internet lack foundation, become popular quickly, and are quickly forgotten. Although TV shows with various names are still in full swing, no matter whether it is "Super Girl" or "Good Boy", no super idol can be produced anymore. The new draft hero is likely to become a short-lived meteor.

Every time the Forbes celebrity list comes out, it will be questioned, because it is not what the public imagines.

In fact, this is just a fun to watch after dinner.

Think about it, how can a celebrity's income be exposed to the outside world? Some people think about the T tax without anyone noticing it.

Lu Bu is considered the most active taxpayer among them.

He traveled from troubled times and knew the importance of taxation and the benefits of T-tax.

The current law punishes this crime too lightly. In his era, if it was light, all property would be confiscated, and the fine would be sent to the frontier for a year;

"Wow, I didn't even know you made... so much money in one year!" Gao Yuanyuan saw the data released on the Forbes Celebrity List, even though he knew that Lu Bu had a high income, he was still taken aback.

"A lot?" Lu Bu asked with a smile.

"It's not much. The second Yao Min is only 2.6 million, and you are 1.5 million higher." Gao Yuanyuan was speechless.

"There are so many people to support." Lu Bu said with a smile.

"Who will you raise?" Gao Yuanyuan asked.

"Of course it's my Madam Gao." Lu Bu blinked.

"I don't need much money." Gao Yuanyuan pursed her lips.

"Be prepared." Lu Bu shrugged.

While chatting, the field manager ran over and said, "Second brother, someone is looking for you."

Lu Bu asked, "Who is looking for me?"

Then Luo Xiong's voice came: "Xiao Lu, Xiao Gao, long time no see."

The two got up.

Gao Yuanyuan said hello, "Hello, Brother Luo."

Lu Bu smiled and said, "What wind brought you here?"

Luo Xiong said cheerfully: "Come and see you."

As he said that, he stuffed two big and thick red envelopes into the hands of Lu Bu and Gao Yuanyuan respectively. The show "Stars Herding Sheep" made him a lot of money, so naturally he wanted to impress the hero and heroine.

"Brother Luo, this is so embarrassing." Gao Yuanyuan also received red envelopes after the movies and TV series he participated in became popular, but not so many.

"You're welcome, Brother Luo." Lu Bu said, skillfully putting the red package into his backpack.

"Look, Xiao Lu understands me very well, just a little bit of heart." Luo Xiong is very good at dealing with the world.

"Thank you, Brother Luo." Gao Yuanyuan imitated Lu Bu and put the red envelope in his handbag.

"Brother Luo, Chinese New Year will be here in a few days. You came all the way from Baodao Province just to give us red envelopes, right?" Lu Bu asked.

"Let's talk about a few projects." Luo Xiong replied.

"Is there a new TV series?" Lu Bu asked again.

"Well, three dramas." Luo Xiong nodded.

"Is there anything suitable for us?" Lu Bu joked.

"It's definitely suitable, but you probably won't like it." In Luo Xiong's eyes, the No. 1 choice for the male lead is always Lu Bu, and this has not changed since the first cooperation. "An ancient dragon drama "" "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang", an idol drama "Princess Little Sister", and a myth drama "Heavenly Match".

"Uh..." Lu Bu picked the corners of his eyes, not very interested, so he said tactfully, "Can I read the script?"

"Okay, I'll take them with me." Luo Xiong came prepared.

"Is "Pairing of Immortals" about the love story between Seven Fairies and Dong Yong?" Gao Yuanyuan interjected.

"Are you interested?" Lu Bu asked her.

"A little bit." Gao Yuanyuan's idea is very simple. Anyway, he makes two movies a year, and it would be best if he plays a couple with Lu Bu.

"But..." Lu Bu saw through her mind, calculated the schedule, and said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to take on a new play until the end of the year."

"Legend of Chu and Han" will be filmed in May and June, followed by "The King of Kung Fu" for three to four months, and then the first personal concert in November, and the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games.

His schedule is almost full for the whole year.

Of course, as a doting wife madman, if Gao Yuanyuan really wanted to act, he would make time for it.

"Then I'm not in a hurry to take on the show. I'll wait until the filming of this one is over and I'll rest for a while." Gao Yuanyuan lost all interest in an instant.

Luo Xiong let out a sigh of relief.

If they take a fancy to this "Heavenly Match", it will be a bit difficult to operate, because the hero and heroine have already been decided, and they are Yang Zi and Huang Shengyi, who account for 70% of the investment.

This Yang Zi is the rich second generation who spent 600 million to help Huang Shengyi terminate the contract with Xinghui Company. The family business is an international large-scale enterprise that manufactures hardware locks. Huang Shengyi's management affairs, and the establishment of Juli Film and Television Media for him, is a master who is willing to spend money on picking up girls.

Luo Xiong left after lunch, and not long after he left, Wang Baoqiang came.

"Brother, Sister Yuanyuan." Wang Baoqiang still had that familiar simple and honest smile on his face.

"Aren't you going home for the New Year?" Lu Bu asked him.

"I just came out from home. I knew you and Sister Yuanyuan were filming here, so I brought some specialties from my hometown." Wang Baoqiang opened the two snakeskin bags and introduced the contents to the two of them one by one.

"They're all good things. It just so happens that I'm getting tired of box lunches recently, so I can change the taste." Lu Bu knew at a glance that they were made by himself, and the taste was not bad.

"Big Brother and Sister Yuanyuan don't dislike it, as long as they don't dislike them." Wang Baoqiang deliberately picked the best appearance and brought them here.

"Look at what you said, these are things that even money can't buy, so how can we dislike them." Gao Yuanyuan grabbed a handful of golden jujubes and tasted them.

"Are you taking on a new play?" Lu Bu asked.

"Well, it's also filming here, and it will be turned on the day after tomorrow." Wang Baoqiang replied.

"What kind of show, you actually chose to start it a few days before the Spring Festival?" Gao Yuanyuan was speechless.

""My Brother's Name is Shunliu", an anti-Japanese war drama." Wang Baoqiang replied.

Adapted from the war-themed work of the same name by the military writer Mr. Zhu Sujin, it takes the Anti-Japanese War as the background, chooses to cut in from a unique perspective, and chooses an ordinary soldier of civilian origin among the anti-Japanese heroes as a typical example, and tells the story of the anti-Japanese war. In the real war, the stupid little soldier "Shun Liu" has won many precious victories for the troops by virtue of his extraordinary shooting skills. At the same time, he himself has grown up under the baptism of artillery fire.

Like "Soldier Assault", this drama is also tailor-made for him. It is invested by Mengjiang Studio, Hairun Film and Television and Zhouyi Film and Television with an investment of 2000 million, and it is jointly produced by CCTV and Nanjing JQ Political Department Frontline Art Troupe.

Today, his salary has risen to 8 per episode, and he is a proper second-tier actor.

He used his actual actions to prove that grassroots can also dance in the wind. Regardless of identity and background, as long as everyone endures hardships, is willing to work hard, and always maintains a heart of respect and gratitude for others, and don't be complacent, he can achieve himself dream.

As we all know, stars in the entertainment industry are most afraid of making mistakes, that is, being unable to control human desires, which will eventually lead to the ruin of their careers.

Wang Baoqiang is also clearly aware that any industry pays attention to professional ability and results.

So he didn't spend his mind on scheming, but treated the people around him sincerely, and his interpersonal relationship naturally improved. In addition, he continued to improve his professional ability and hone his acting skills with his acting talent, and he was not satisfied with what he had already achieved. Continue to challenge yourself and become a powerful actor. He is a good person and capable. There will only be more and more opportunities in the future.

Such a person and an attitude can gain a foothold and succeed no matter what industry they are in.

"How far has the relationship between you and Tang Xiuyun developed?" Lu Bu began to gossip after finishing talking about the business.

"Director Tang's cousin?" Gao Yuanyuan also became interested.

"It's pretty good." Speaking of girlfriend, Wang Baoqiang blushed.

"She still follows Director Tang as a prop master?" Lu Bu asked.

"Yeah." Wang Baoqiang nodded, and said, "She said she's used to this job and doesn't want to change blindly."

One is down-to-earth, honest and honest, the other is responsible, not too ambitious, very good match.

It seems that the good relationship formed in the crew of "Mythology" because of the hero saving the beauty, is about to blossom and bear fruit.

I hope the two can go on happily.

While Wang Baoqiang left, Ren Wei came again.

"Oh, I wish I had known that I would not sell Qidian's shares like you." Ren Wei sighed again and again.

The development of the Internet and the revolution of media technology marked the accelerated advent of the digital era of book publishing, and also gave birth to the surge of cultural products and the diversification of cultural needs. In recent years, with the advantages of no threshold, low cost, interactivity and originality The online literature has become a dark horse in the field of literature in our country, setting off a new wave of online literature publishing and forming a new model of literature publishing.

Among the successive original literature websites, Starting Point is the best. Last year, with 12 original writers, 19 original literary works and an income of more than 3000 million, it stood out from the crowd and became a model of today's online literature.

Back then, Lu Bu and Ren Wei invested the money together.

Later, starting point was sold to Shanda, and Ren Wei chose to sell the shares to cash out.

Lu Bu retained the shares, although not many, but in the past two years the starting point has become bigger and stronger, and the annual dividends are quite a lot.

"Continue voting." Lu Bu laughed.

"Vote now..." Ren Huang shook his head, and said solemnly: "Shanda's situation is not very good, Chen Tianqiao's speculative mentality is too impetuous, he is committed to building a huge entertainment empire, and has made a lot of investments in film and television, literature, real estate, etc. , although it has seized the opportunity, none of them has developed into a core business that can contribute stable revenue. Billion dollars to implement the 'Grand Box' plan, but in the past two years alone, it failed because it was named and violated by the relevant department."

"If you don't open in the east and open in the west, it's not like you didn't make money from investing in other places." Lu Bu said.

"It's okay, it's just a small profit." But the bright smile on Ren Kan's face had already betrayed him.

"The 100 original ecological hot pot restaurants in Sichuan and the Three Kingdoms Bar have been completed nationwide. Will the scale be expanded in the future?" Lu Bu asked.

"Now this number is enough. We are doing directly-operated stores, not franchise stores, and it is just a side business. If the capital turnover is not enough, we will face great risks." Ren Wei explained.

It's not that he hasn't thought about making a chain franchise.

Taking advantage of the star effect, it is a matter of minutes to spread across the country, but crazy expansion will cause management to fail to keep up, and it will become difficult to control details.

Once the brand image is damaged, it will affect the trust of consumers and lead to consumers' willingness to reduce consumption. This blow is devastating, and the only way left is bankruptcy.

"Listen to you, you are a professional." Lu Bu said "listen to advice".

"By the way, I have something to tell you. According to internal information, Sina Blog is looking for changes in the near future. It may be a year soon, or two years later. A brand new version will be launched. Don't sell your shares for the time being." Ren Wei reminded.

"Sina Blog 3.0?" Lu Bu asked.

"Perhaps." Ren Huang didn't know the exact situation.

"I don't have many shares, and I don't even bother to sell them." Lu Bu is not short of money now anyway.

As the year approaches, the filming of "Legend of Chu and Han" is still in full swing.

2 group performers have gone home.

The rest of the war scenes, such as the Battle of Gaixia, will not start shooting until after the beginning of spring.

As for Lu Bu, the good news is one after another.

Both Mengniu and Samsung mobile phones have upgraded him to become a global spokesperson, and the endorsement fee has also increased accordingly.

The "Lvbu first-generation running shoes" launched in cooperation with Li Ning went on sale after the Asian Games debut, and the sales volume is very good. Now the second and third generations are on the agenda.

Suning Appliance is limited by the model, so it just shoots two more advertisements.

Among them, Rimba Menswear, which has the longest and best cooperation, has also prepared many new products this year. Splendid Hanfu has reached a cooperation with the Yanjing Olympic Organizing Committee and has become a supplier of Chinese Hanfu for the opening and closing ceremonies.

There are also endorsements, advertisements, and activities that come to your door, there are countless.

In short, the word "busy" has pushed even this year's Spring Festival Gala.

On New Year's Eve, work was over early.

Lu Bu and Gao Yuanyuan funded and prepared a New Year's Eve dinner for everyone on the crew.

Because I switched to filming literary dramas, relatively few people dared to do so.

If the 2 group performances are still there, at most it will be extra food.

After eating the New Year's Eve dinner, Lu Bu quietly drove Gao Yuanyuan back to Hangzhou.
