China Entertainment’s rescue plan is hard to come by

Chapter 448 Forbes Celebrity List, where is Sun Yi? 【Ask for monthly ticket】

On the evening of March 2009, 3, the Chinese version of "Forbes" officially announced the "27 Chinese Celebrities List" list.

Speaking of "Forbes", this is the name of a magazine. Of course, its founder is named Forbes.

At the beginning of the 20th century, a financial reporter named Forbes founded this magazine. At first, he collected information on various rich circles in order to better write reports and sell magazines. Later, he came up with the idea of ​​ranking the rich. idea.

At that time, the richest people in the United States, just like China, initially looked down on this ranking, and they also adhered to the principle of not revealing their wealth. Therefore, the rankings of the richest people in the early Forbes magazine were very watery, and it was even said that many of them were Uninvestigated hearsay.

However, I did not expect that once the magazine was launched, the response was very good, and even more so, the so-called rich people on the list were sought after by people everywhere, and their careers suddenly became smooth sailing.

At this time, the really rich people were tempted, and they began to expose themselves frequently, and even proactively provided their own information to Forbes. In this way, Forbes relied on the ranking of rich people to develop to this day and became a powerful multinational media group.

Since the new century, with the development of China's economy, Forbes Group has also taken a fancy to China's undeveloped land. Since 2004, it has begun to publish the Chinese version of "Forbes" and produce the "Forbes China Celebrity List."

The release of the list every year will cause a storm of public opinion.

Even more so this year.

Different from the rich list, the celebrity list is aimed at public figures. In addition to counting annual income, it also ranks based on related exposure.

Every year, 100 celebrities from the previous year to the present are selected.

After the 2009 list was released, it immediately caused a public outcry.

Because 08 was the year of the Olympics, sports stars ranked first. The little giant Yao Ming topped the list for six consecutive years with an income of 3.5 million yuan. After all, at this time, he was still playing in the NBA and earning US dollars. Therefore, Yao Ming's No. 1 ranking was expected by most people.

No. 2 is Zhang Ziyi. With her annual income of 2008 million RMB in 7800 and the exposure of No. 4, she ranks second overall. Although everyone is a little surprised by this result, it is still acceptable. After all, Zhang Ziyi can also be regarded as an international movie star. He has been famous for a long time and is outstanding in all aspects.

As for No.3, everyone really didn’t guess it. Public opinion generally believed that the top three should be taken by sports stars, such as Yi Jianlian, Guo Jingjing, etc. Zhang Ziyi’s appearance was already a small upset, but Unexpectedly, No. 3 showed up as a dark horse, which really surprised everyone.

That's right, it's the fairy sister Liu Yifei.

Liu Yifei ranked No. 5600 on the 3 Chinese Celebrity List with an annual income of 2009 million RMB and a exposure rate that was one higher than Zhang Ziyi.

Public opinion was in an uproar. This is not to say that Liu Yifei was unworthy. Throughout 08, although Liu Yifei had been smeared, spread rumors and even banned for a time, after the explosion of her two works "Star You" and "Shelter" and her joining Starry Sky, she and Sun Yi's love affair was exposed, and she endorsed internationally renowned brands such as Tissot and Chanel. Her popularity and reputation all reversed, and she began an explosive rise.

Everyone knows this, but they really didn't expect that she could directly break into the top three. You must know that in 2008, she was also on the list, but she was like a goalkeeper, ranking 89th.

In just one year, the span is so huge, it’s really shocking.

Netizens commented one after another.

"I'll go, the fairy sister is really booming this year."

"Don't tell me, I became a fan of Liu Yifei this year, and so did many of my friends around me."

“My Sissi is so amazing, come on, I will be the first one next year!!!”

Comments on the Internet include passers-by, fans, people who like melons, and also rational players.

"Have you noticed a problem? Liu Yifei is ranked third, why can't Sun Yi be seen in the top ten? What has he been doing?"

"Oh no, that's right. Even if you didn't tell me upstairs, I wouldn't have thought of it. Logically speaking, Sun Yi's annual income shouldn't be higher!"

"Yes, yes, I suddenly feel that Sun Yi is nothing but Professor Du, and the fairy sister attends various business activities by herself."

The media also reacted and began to focus on Sun Yi.

Looking at the list, Sun Yi actually ranks outside the top 1000 with an annual income of 23 million and exposure rate of [-]rd. He is not on the first two pages of the list.

Everyone has questioned the rankings of Forbes.

And "Forbes" was also wronged. They explained:
The income in this list is only an estimate of the pre-tax income earned by celebrities in entertainment, sports and other related fields throughout 2008.

Income includes remuneration, performance fees, advertising endorsement fees, competition bonuses and various copyright incomes. Their personal investment and business income is not included.

This means that they don't count the income of Starry Sky Image under Sun Yi's name, and they can't get the corresponding data.

Sun Yi only shoots his own company's films, and he gets internal profits, which are rarely disclosed to the outside world, and the direct director's fee is also very low. This 1000 million annual income still comes with his estimates of various copyright incomes. .

Forbes' exposure rankings are weighted by annual exposure in newspapers, television and online searches. In addition, weighted statistics on the cover figures of 3 first-class magazines throughout the year were also included.

Sun Yi did not participate in any variety shows, interviews, or commercial activities throughout the year. In 08, there was no film promotion in China. He has never been photographed for a magazine cover in the whole year. Many magazines invited him, but he declined them all. If he hadn't appeared on a news broadcast, and because of his role as a professor, and his relationship with Liu Yifei, he had a certain number of Internet connections. Search, his exposure rate among the 23 may not be high.

When the media listened to Forbes' explanation, they were helpless. They suddenly discovered that in 08, apart from playing Professor Dou in "The Star" and having a relationship with the national goddess Liu Yifei, Sun Yi had no other Something else.

There is also little information about the movie "The Intouchables". There is only general information on the Internet and nothing else.

The media and netizens became curious.

What did Sun Yi do this year?
Can such a young director just stay at home?
Are you just going to eat Liu Yifei's soft rice?

Are you going to give him a hard time?
Everyone didn't quite believe it. They always felt that Sun Yi or Xing Kong or something, holding back his ultimate move, suddenly felt like the calm before the storm.

The media have been investigating for two days, but still haven't come up with any clues. It seems that the key to the problem lies with Sun Yi and Liu Yifei. Only by interviewing them can they know the reason.

Many people in the industry who are familiar with Sun Yi are also curious. They also want to know what Sun Yi does. It just so happens that the platform Renren Weibo is now available, and then they start playing.

Zhang Yi: "@孙忿, why do you hide it so deeply?"

Su Chang: "@李伊飞, is the one from the Yi family the leading brother behind the scenes?"

Yang Mi: "@李伊菲@孙翿, congratulations, congratulations!"

In fact, Liu Yifei was also quite confused. She had never paid attention to Sun Yi's affairs. She only knew that he was engaged in film industrialization, but to what extent he had done it and how he would do it for the next one, she didn't know.

According to netizens, I really feel that my brother is a bit too low-key.

For a time, the celebrity couple Sun Yi and Liu Yifei once again became the focus of the public.

All the media came together to show off their magical powers to see who could get an exclusive interview with the two of them.

Faced with the media's requests, Xingkong refused without exception.

"Brother, a lot of media are preparing to interview us. They have all contacted my mother."

"Ah, have you found Auntie?"

"Uh-huh."

"What do you think? Do you want to be interviewed?"

"I don't have any ideas. I'll listen to you. Besides, there are no movies to be released now and there is no need for publicity."

"Well, let's not accept it for now. We'll wait until we finish "The Founding of the People's Republic of China". You don't have many roles, so I'll only be responsible for the special effects. It'll take about a week, and then we'll look at the next step."

"Okay."

The media cannot contact Sun Yi and Liu Yifei, so they can only wait for interviews when they attend the event.

After searching around, various media outlets discovered that Sun Yi was about to take Liu Yifei to attend the launch conference of "The Founding of the People's Republic of China".

"The Founding of the People's Republic of China" itself is the first movie of this year, because Sun Yi and Liu Yifei have stepped up their efforts again.
