The richest person in Chinese entertainment

Chapter 536: Global Individual Film Box Office Champion, Liu Yifei
How much album sales can a star who did not debut as a singer achieve when he releases his first album?

In fact, around the millennium, and even later, there were stars who chose to become singers when expanding their business.

If we don't consider live singing with the mic on, then "tuning the sound" and "hanging the power" are definitely the strongest aids for many singers who don't have any basic skills.

This leads to many celebrities who do not have much talent as singers, but can still make a living in this field.

Here, I would like to name some young handsome guys who rely solely on the praise of female fans, have poor acting skills but think they are very good.

The lines can't even be spoken well, and a drama only becomes popular because of the voice actors.

He gained popularity through variety shows, but instead of working hard to improve his acting skills and delivery skills, he went to the rap circle to release songs, DISSing the entire circle and thinking that no one can compare to him.

The last drama that could have been a huge hit was criticized wildly due to his poor professional skills.

Of course, this situation is not common around 07.

Like Liu Yifei, she originally debuted as a singer.

It’s just that she was dubbed the “Queen of Children’s Songs” so much that she was ashamed to introduce herself as a singer when she grew up.

In addition, after she later acted in a TV series with Zhang Chen and was dubbed "Fairy Sister" by the younger generation of China, she wanted to further her career as an actor.

But no one could have imagined that after starring in several TV series and making a guest appearance in the "Harry Potter" series, Liu Yifei would be able to get a supporting role in a movie with a global box office of over 18 billion US dollars.

Yes, now after two months, the box office of "La La Land" has risen all the way to the current 18 billion US dollars with a box office trend that movie fans and passers-by cannot understand.

The heroine in the play, Katie, the former heroine of "Titanic", once again stands at the forefront of world film heroines.

These two movies directly brought her personal total box office to a terrifying 40.182 billion US dollars.

And this number will continue to rise as the box office of "La La Land" continues to rise.

Some movie fans have now made a list of the top ten box office hits based on each star’s personal comprehensive box office.

As of May, here are the top ten stars in the world by total box office (including all the movies they starred in).

Kate Winslet has a cumulative box office of $25 billion with films such as "Titanic" and "Finding Neverland", plus $18 billion for "La La Land", for a total box office of $43 billion, ranking fifth in the world's star total box office.

Ahead of her is Johnny Depp, the star of "Pirates of the Caribbean", with a combined box office of $50 billion.

Orlando Bloom's "Lord of the Rings" trilogy grossed $48 billion.

and Daniel Radcliffe, star of the Harry Potter series, with $42 billion.

After that, it was all a series of actors from the Harry Potter series.

Including Emma Watson, Rupert Grint and others.

Their box office revenues are both $35.46 billion.

And in July of this year, the fifth film of the Harry Potter series, The Order of the Phoenix, will be released, and the box office revenue will conservatively be estimated to increase by around $7 million for these actors.

If you continue.

If we only count the movies in which the actors have starred, then at least half of the top ten on the list are actors from the Harry Potter series.

Among them is Liu Yifei, who plays the role of "Harry's dream lover" Qiu Zhang, who has a small role but is particularly eye-catching.

It is a kind of luck for Katie Winslet to rank fifth in the global star's individual box office by virtue of her roles as the leading actress in two of the top two films in the history of global films, "Titanic" and "La La Land".

Then Liu Yifei has been quietly making efforts thanks to the continued box office success of the Harry Potter series.

Now, with the popularity of "La La Land", it has directly topped the global celebrity individual box office.
First place!
His personal total movie box office reached an extremely outrageous 53.56 billion US dollars!
"Oh my god! The number one in the global celebrity's personal movie box office is actually Liu Yifei?!"

"Outrageous! Too outrageous!"

"There's nothing I can do about it. The Harry Potter series and La La Land combined are just so outrageous!"

"Liu Yifei is a Chinese actress who played supporting roles in two movies. How could she be so lucky!"

"If I remember correctly, these are the only records of Liu Yifei's filming."

"In other words, Liu Yifei only chose twice and directly made herself the number one movie star in the world?!"

"Is this first place fake? After all, I'm not the lead actor."

"Then don't you see the actors from Harry Potter, The Lord of the Rings, and Pirates of the Caribbean all on the list!"

"Liu Yifei is so lucky."

"Haven't you noticed that Zhang Chen is one of the producers of the Harry Potter series of films, and Zhang Chen is also the director of La La Land, so Liu Yifei..."

"You can also say the other way around. All the movies Liu Yifei has starred in have grossed over $8 million worldwide! She's definitely a movie 'mascot'!"

"If I remember correctly, Liu Yifei is only 20 years old? Oh my God!"

"A 20-year-old individual has the highest cumulative box office in the world?!"

"If she continues to work in the film industry, she will definitely be a top actress, right?"

"She's got the title of Golden Supporting Actress for sure, right? Seeing how lively she is in the movie, it's a foregone conclusion that she'll win the Best Actress award in the future."

"No. Didn't you notice that Liu Yifei released an album a few days ago?"

"Are you kidding? Why are you jumping into the singing world instead of working on your acting skills and making a career in the film industry?"

"What do you mean by jumping through hoops? Liu Yifei originally debuted as a singer, okay?"

"Is this true?! What albums has she released before?"

"Liu is really amazing. His performance at the Grammy Awards astounded me. I didn't expect that he is so talented as an actor."

"A female star who can act and sing, is beautiful and young, is absolutely my favorite!"

"Tell me where I can buy her new album? Are there any posters and MVs? I need a link to buy it!"

"Is there any need to ask? Why not just go to Morning Light Music and find it?"

In the public relations department of the Morning Light Building in Yanjing, a middle-aged man in his 20s who did not fit in with the young girls in their early 40s around him breathed a sigh of relief as he looked at the comments from netizens on the computer screen.

"Old Liu is amazing. He actually thought of using Yifei's movie box office to make a fuss."

Facing the compliments from the PR manager of Morning Light Entertainment, Lao Liu smiled, stretched and explained: "You don't know how long I have been preparing for this day."

Who is Lao Liu?

Perhaps many people have almost forgotten the existence of such a person.

When Zhang Chen made his debut, it was Lao Liu who helped to recommend the album at the convenience store in front of Zhang Chen and Liu Yifei’s alma mater.

From then on, Lao Liu became a loyal fan of Zhang Chen.

Even though Zhang Chen's public relations and publicity no longer needed him, he never gave up helping Zhang Chen guide public opinion around him and on the Internet.

In every public relations crisis of Zhang Chen, he and his friend Liu Feng can be seen in corners that no one can see.

It was not until after 02 that Zhang Chen met him once and arranged a job for him.

The leader of Liu Yifei's fan club.

Several years have passed since I got this job.

Every year, he gets a lot of activity funds from Morning Light Entertainment, but he has never found a suitable place to spend this money.

After years of preparation, there has been no substantial progress.

Because the task he received was to open up a "road to the sky" for Liu Yifei in the entertainment industry.

He had been waiting for this day for more than three years.

Countless plans finally came to fruition today.

The current comments on the Internet such as "Liu Yifei is the 'mascot' of the film industry," "The box office of the movies Liu Yifei has participated in has exceeded 8 million US dollars," and "Liu Yifei's road to debut" were all spread on the Internet through him.

If we talk about promoting Zhang Chen, he is doing things with the idea that "it is rare for China to produce a talented young man."

So when he promoted Liu Yifei, he was doing it purely out of his personal love for this little girl.

After all, he could not completely reject the little girl who always followed Zhang Chen and held Zhang Chen's clothes to go to school like a "tail-chaser".

Now, this little girl who followed Zhang Chen into the entertainment industry ignorantly is also starting to make her way in the world entertainment industry. At this moment, he feels like watching his grown-up daughter finally enter the society.

Not only he feels this way, but Liu Yifei's fans also feel this way.

In the past, fans could only identify themselves as "Zhang Chen's sister."

But now, their idol is finally going to make a move, and they will naturally contribute their own efforts.

"How's the data?" Old Liu asked the employee from the Morning Glory Public Relations Department next to him.

"125 million!"

Hearing this data, Lao Liu's eyes lit up and he asked again, "Has the promotional video been released?"

"not yet!"

"Success!"

Old Liu clenched his fists tightly, very excited.

Now, the album "Not Yet Lovers" has sold 125 million copies in just one week since its release.

What a terrifying speed!

Even the sales of new albums by currently popular domestic stars such as Jay Chou, Sun Yanzi, and Zhang Shaohan are not so terrible.

What are Liu Yifei's advantages?
This is the "global influence" that Jay Chou and others can never dream of!
In the eyes of people all over the world, the most famous Chinese star today, or even if you remove the word "Chinese", the most famous star in the world, is definitely Zhang Chen.

No one dares to question this, and no one will question it.

This is a consensus, a fact that even Zhang Chen's haters have to admit.

Excluding Zhang Chen, who is the most popular and famous star?
Leonardo DiCaprio, Michael Jackson, Madonna, Britney Spears, Taylor Swift, and Avril Lavigne are definitely on the list.

But after this year's Grammy Awards, Liu Yifei also felt that she could be ranked high.

If we add the recent "Celebrity Personal Comprehensive Movie Box Office Ranking", Liu Yifei is definitely at the top of the world's entertainment industry.

Of course, it's just eye-catching.

But this is the main purpose for Lao Liu and other operation teams.

A singer who has a global influence is definitely hard to match by regional singers when releasing an album.

The album sales of 125 million in one week are proof of this.

Nowadays, only a few people can do this, such as Zhang Chen, Michael Jackson, Taylor Swift, Avril Lavigne, etc.

Even Madonna can't do it nowadays.

"It's time to release that video!" Old Liu slammed the table and ordered his men, "I want this video to top the trending search charts on all major Internet platforms within an hour!"

"Yes!"

The people under him are also full of enthusiasm.

People in their line of work are most afraid of negative news about celebrities.

But when it comes to serving Liu Yifei, it's very easy for them.

It has an Internet protection mechanism similar to Zhang Chen's.

For them, they just need to do their job well.

World-class Internet interactive platforms such as Weibo and Facebook are their own people.

Negative news about Liu Yifei?

It cannot be said that there are no such cases, but they are all insignificant issues such as "relying on Zhang Chen to get to the top" and "relying on Zhang Chen to become famous".

Zhang Chen himself will come forward to help clarify this point.

Perhaps there is no need for clarification, everyone has become immune to the marketing of Zhang Chen and Liu Yifei together.

Who in this world now doesn't know that Liu Yifei is protected by Zhang Chen?
The only one in the world!
They are jealous, but they really can't do anything about it.

In today's entertainment industry, who dares to offend Zhang Chen?

After the Grammy Awards, everyone saw Zhang Chen's appeal and dominance in the world entertainment industry.

In the battle on Wall Street, all Western media turned to Zhang Chen, which shocked the world and gave them a more intuitive understanding of Zhang Chen's dominance in the entertainment industry.

In this situation, only a newbie with a mental problem would attack Liu Yifei, Zhang Chen's most obvious weak spot.

So Liu Yifei has suddenly returned to her "old profession" as a singer, and she is showing a crushing attitude all the way.

An hour later, a video appeared on major Internet and traditional media around the world.

"I'm leaving, don't be sad anymore
I don't want to say anything anymore.

Remember to be happy in the future
"

This is coupled with a clip from "La La Land" where Seb and Miya get to know each other, but in the end become strangers and silently wish each other well.

Liu Yifei has a clear and recognizable voice and a beautiful face.

As soon as this video was released, it won the love of fans and moviegoers all over the world.

“My God is so beautiful”

"What song is this? A Chinese song?"

"Sure enough, after watching this year's Grammy Awards, I am deeply fascinated by Chinese songs."

“I didn’t expect that Chinese songs could be so beautiful when paired with La La Land!”

"If Lyon's version of 'City of Stars' is romantic, then Liu's song expresses the regrets of the protagonists in 'La La Land'."

Liu Yifei has finally entered the world's vision with her personal identity!
