Chapter 102: Selling Like Crazy [Please Subscribe and Pass the Monthly Ticket]

January 1th, the 30th day of the twelfth lunar month.

In Li Jiaxin's duplex apartment on the top floor of the North Third Ring Road, Ah Xin burst into tears for dozens of seconds before pushing away Old Li and complaining, "I have a feeling that sooner or later I will die in Beijing."

"But it's amazing. Youngor asked me to be their spokesperson and I was paid HK$800 million a year, and Tsingtao Beer offered me HK$700 million a year. I made more money than after The Beach."

"The richest is still Samsung, who spends 1000 million a year endorsing Samsung phones."

If Ah Xin takes all three advertisements, her salary will be 2500 million before tax.

Let’s take a simple example. In the 2000 Hong Kong celebrity income rankings, Wang Jie ranked tenth with an annual income of 1840 million.

Ninth is Chen Huilin with 1940 million.

Those two are the new generation of pop stars.

Even Li Ming's income was only 3000 million, and Ah Xin's three movies that year were still far from the top ten.

Now is the time when TV station executives are invited to watch the final episode of "You Who Came From the Stars" because the plot is so captivating, it's like a dimensionality reduction attack.

The earliest girls of the younger generation, such as Yang Mi, Liu Shishi, Jiang Shuying, and Reyiza, all stayed up late to watch the drama from the first episode in one go and even watched it again.

The newcomers include Harbour City, South Korean TV stations, and advertisers who have heard the news.

They all brought copies of the tapes and booked a cinema to watch the movie on the big screen.

Halfway through the movie, the film purchasing director of South Korea's SBS Corporation had already given a quote to Time Media: 150 million RMB per episode.

The first and second round broadcast rights of these 21 episodes of My Love from the Star in South Korea are equal to 3150 million.

Jeon Ji-hyun said that the SBS film purchasing department had received a call from Samsung before coming here, and if the quality is really top-notch, they can proactively offer a high price.

The bundling conditions are Li Jiaxin’s advertising and Huang Xiaoming’s advertising.

Li Jiaxin earns 10 million yuan a year endorsing Samsung mobile phones, and this refers to the entire Asia region.

When super idol dramas were spreading across East Asia and Southeast Asia, she endorsed these at the height of her popularity, which had a significant impact on promoting the brand.

As for Huang Xiaoming endorsing Samsung mobile phones, he earns 500 million RMB a year.

Although Xiao Ming has become famous with the first part of The Emperor of Han Dynasty, after finishing filming Star, you will take on The Emperor of Han Dynasty 2.

But My Love from the Star also raised Huang Xiaoming's status by several levels.

Simple figures show that Liang Chaowei received HK$780 million for Hero and HK$600 million for Infernal Affairs, while Xiao Ming's income climbed to HK$500 million per year for starring in an idol drama!
The offer from South Korea's SBS has left ATV, TVB and other TV stations in Taiwan speechless.

Those guys all want to join forces to beat up the unethical SBS.

Damn, you started so high, what are we going to do?
3150 million for first and second round picks, right? Fuck is a plant.

This is much higher than the 2 million RMB first run of "Return of the Condor Heroes II" which grossed 1999 episodes in 48.

When Li Wenyu went to the refrigerator to find something to drink, Li Jiaxin slowly stood up and walked over. "Ayu, I've been in Beijing and Shanghai for a year. I feel very free."

“Should I buy two more houses and really settle down here?”

"At least, whether it's the media or others, I rarely get scolded. I want to buy the courtyard house next door to yours."

There are definitely residents in the courtyard house next door now, but a lot of things can be solved by paying more money.

Li Wenyu continued to move, smiling and nodding, "Take advantage of this round of booming business, and use your film pay, advertising, etc. to buy a few more houses in Beijing and Shanghai, which would be a good investment."

"How much did housing prices in Hong Kong Island rise from the 80s to before the handover?"

"With over one billion people in mainland China, the value of homes in Beijing and Shanghai will also appreciate rapidly."

He said that Sister Xin might have lost money, but it was no big deal, as she was now a new money-making queen.

As soon as "You Who Came From the Stars" was released, Li Jiaxin, who had been criticized for not being able to play the role of a vase for more than ten years, really dominated all the TVs in Asia.

In the sensational 2002 Asian beauty pageant, Zhang Bozhi took first place, Quan Zhixian took second place, and Gao Yuanyuan took third place.

This is all because I played a supporting role for Ah Xin in Star You.

Needless to say, Xiao Gao plays a huge role, she is the fourth female villain.

Azhi and Quan Zhixian are guest actresses at the wedding cruise party on the Huangpu River in Shanghai, which was accompanied by a fireworks show on the night Gao Yuanyuan's character was killed.

His screen time was short, and there were clips where he appeared on the same screen with Li Jiaxin.

Li Jiaxin nodded in surprise. "You are a big shot, I will listen to you. But what you said makes sense. The capital, with a population of over one billion and being the most developed commercial city, has a bright future."

At this point, she pinched the elephant in disdain, "Whether inside or outside your company, so many beautiful women, including Azhi, are willing to throw themselves at you."

"You chose a new South Korean car. That's outrageous. Aren't you afraid you won't be able to get rid of it?"

This is no secret. Pang Bing has long been thinking about asking for external help, and has also discussed it with Ah Xin.

Let’s talk about daily phone calls, text messages, etc.

The frequency of Quan Zhixian's letters in the past two days is obviously more than thirty times that of the previous two months.

Li Wenyu was speechless. "It's not a big problem. She also wants to marry into a South Korean conglomerate. If the Hong Kong citizens have the impression that the wealthy families in Hong Kong are unattainable, then Cinderella will marry the prince."

"The situation in South Korea is ten times worse than in Hong Kong."

After he brought Ah Xin a glass of freshly squeezed juice, he smiled again and said, "The King of Dramas swept 2003. You can also consider endorsing brands such as Chanel, Dior, and Hermes."

Taking all these endorsements into account, it is expected that I can earn tens of millions before tax in a year.

Li Jiaxin's eyes lit up more and more. "I made a fortune this year. I'm almost going crazy. I bought a few houses to store them. The rest of the money is waiting for your Weibo and Campus Network to go public. I'll buy the earliest circulating shares."

After taking a sip of juice, Ah Xin muttered again, "If the campus network raises funds in the future, will the market value of the two listed groups be 10 to 20 billion Hong Kong dollars?"

"You're about to start the Li family, so don't be too cheap on foreigners. In a small place like South Korea, Xiaoquan isn't considered a plastic surgery party. Otherwise, your status will be lowered too much."

As a traditional Hong Kong star, he has the right to look down on South Korea.

Island country... Many Hong Kong singers started out by buying copyrights or covering island country music without getting copyrights, so they have a strong island style.

South Korea is truly a private leek garden where Hong Kong stars have been bombarded with great intensity.

The last time Lao Chen was so angry that he was hospitalized, Zhang Bozhi posted on Weibo that the reason she refused to take on The Promise was that she didn't want to be stepped on by South Korean stars to get to the top.

Xie Tingfeng also spoke out quickly. He couldn’t afford to lose face!
Li Wenyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, are you going back?"

Ah Xin shook her head. "What's the point of going back? I asked my mother, sister, and brother-in-law to come to Beijing. There's a lot of space here, and anyone can stay there."

…………

It's around 10am.

Li Wenyu appeared in Time Media. At that time, the company was very quiet and empty except for the employees who were on rotation leave with high salaries.

When Lao Li saw several figures walking out of the screening room, he was speechless.

Here are a group of girls with messy makeup and dark circles under their eyes, including Yang Mi, Reyiza, Liu Shishi, Zhang Jiani and Jiang Shuying.

Open and view from a distance.

Yang Mi's acting was rated 63/100, Reyiza's was rated 57/100, Liu Shishi's was rated 45/100, Jiang Shuying's was rated 55/100, and Zhang Jiani, who came in second, had a rating of 48. Several girls hurried over to greet him and flatter him.

Li Wenyu nodded casually, "Yang Mi, your acting skills have improved somewhat. In 03, you can try to join the film industry with Dong Li, Yang Xi and others."

Her overall acting skills are 63, which is a solid all-round foundation.

You worked so hard during the filming period, and under Li Wenyu's special training, I gave her some insights and took them back after the filming was over.

Xiao Mimi's contribution to the screen of You Who Came From the Stars is an excellent performance by a woman in her early seventies.

With the popularity of You Who Came From the Stars, she will definitely become a big star.

After all, she is the serious third female lead!
Yang Mi hurriedly nodded and thanked him, then flattered him and said with a smile, "Boss, the TVB film acquisition manager wants to invite me to play the second female lead in a TVB drama that they are planning."

"Although the script hasn't been finalized yet, he said it's based on the American TV series CSI, similar to how forensic scientists, forensics, and police work together to solve cases."

"The pay might not be that high, but if I act in this film, it will further solidify my popularity in the television industry. Should I take it?"

In the original entertainment circles of Hong Kong and Macau and the mainland, including South Korea, movie stars generally had a much higher status than TV drama stars.

If I can make it in the film industry, I rarely take on TV drama projects.

But after achieving ever-greater success in the film industry, Li Wenyu is now entering the world of television dramas? This means he is leading the charge to break that stereotype.

And when the Star You movie becomes a movie, can it be watched on a cinema-level big screen like a series of more than a dozen movies?
South Korea's SBS has released a first and second round of "You Who Came From the Stars" for 3150 million, bundled with 1000 million for Li Jiaxin and 500 for Huang Xiaoming to endorse Samsung mobile phones.

This is a sudden impact of 5000 million!
The girls who stayed up for almost two days and one night without sleeping, watching My Love from the Star and then watched it again, naturally voted very attentively.

Good TV, at the level of a king of dramas, so good!

Li Wenyu was slightly surprised. "Hong Kong version of CSI? TVB's Shao Sheng doesn't pay much, but the second female lead in a high-quality drama is worth taking. You're 17 and about to become famous, so you can definitely consider it."

The Forensic Heroes series is the Hong Kong version of CSI in Hong Kong movies!
The first one was released in 06.

But the American TV series CSI aired its first season in 2000.

This is almost the butterfly effect created by Li Wenyu. South Korea gave too much. One place made so much money in the first and second rounds.

TVB has probably withdrawn from the sequence of purchasing films for broadcast.

Instead, they want to use their own team to create a more powerful fashion drama. To put it bluntly, the team will debut the final makeup photos in October.

Yageo has also started selling a variety of new, more fashionable, and trendsetting clothing to Harbour City.

Copy the costumes and props from "You Are the Star". TVB is really creative at this stage.

The second female lead in Forensic Heroes 1? Lin Tingting hadn't made her debut in the original beauty pageant yet.

After encouraging Yang Mi a few words, he reprimanded Reyizha and Zhang Jiani a few words before inviting Liu Shishi and Jiang Shuying to follow him into the office.

Several secretaries are on annual leave.

After Lao Li poured tea for the two girls, he said, "You've played two rounds of Star You, you've had your fill. Go back as soon as possible to celebrate the New Year."

"I asked you to come this time because I felt that you had done a good job playing supporting roles in the crew over the past six months, and your acting skills have improved to a certain extent."

"Keep up the good work. In 03, you'll study under the guidance of an acting teacher and spend another year working with different crews. In 04, the company will put together a TV series of the same standard as Chasing a Star, and you'll be candidates for the leading and second female roles."

He was talking about the lonely and brilliant god: Goblin.

After all, this was an idea that came up at the tuner's celebration party last July, otherwise the acting teacher would not have taken them to play supporting roles for half a year.

How should I put it, Master Liu's acting attribute has jumped from 29 to 45, which is a big improvement.

Jiang Shuying has made tremendous progress in his six months of playing a supporting role, and he is directly rated (55/100).

You have to know that the first time Li Wenyu met these two, Liu Shishi was 19 o'clock and Jiang Shuying was 22 o'clock, a typical pair of difficult sisters.

After hearing these words, Liu and Jiang, who were already very restrained and nervous, became limp or stiff on the spot. Fortunately, they were sitting on the sofa in the reception area.

After pausing for several dozen seconds, Jiang Shuying was so excited that she wanted to kowtow to Lao Li.

They just watched You Who Came To Star With Me twice, which is equivalent to watching 42 episodes in a row, without even fast-forwarding!

I have long been brainwashed by everything in TV dramas. At this stage, many Chinese TV drama viewers are crazy about Meteor Garden, Autumn in My Heart, etc.

Their feelings about the amazing drama "My Love from the Star" are several times deeper than those of Meteor Garden fans.

Li Wenyu didn't let the two women get excited for too long, and said calmly, "Don't spread the news. You still have to work hard to improve yourselves. If your acting skills are not good enough when the time comes."

"If Yang Mi or Re Yizha snatched these two girls, you will regret it for the rest of your lives."

The two girls were dumbfounded again.

They followed "My Love from the Star" with Yang Mi, and watched the excellent performances on the big screen. They deeply felt that Mi Mi was far superior to them.

Rumor has it that his acting skills are not good enough? Was he snatched away by Yang Mi?

You will regret it for the rest of your life.

This kind of regret is more terrifying than those people in the circle who quit the role of the female lead in "My Fair Princess" and "Meteor Garden".

After the two men left, Li Wenyu thanked them dazedly, expressed gratitude, and swore to keep it secret. Li Wenyu then picked up a university textbook on aerodynamics and read it for a few minutes.

The text message came.

This was sent by Ning Hao. "The highest payout for a TV station in Taiwan is HK$100 million per episode, and ATV is paying HK$60 per episode, both for the first and second rounds."

Li Wenyu put the book down and replied directly, "The price is set. It has already sold for over 6000 million. Now go talk to CCTV, local satellite TV stations, and Japanese, Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand TV stations."

"As long as the price offered by the island nation exceeds that of the Harbour City, they will sell it. The ratings will kill the market, making Li Jiaxin and Huang Xiaoming popular in the big market. This is far more important than a hundred thousand more or less per episode."

The island nation was the largest voting base in Asia in the early and mid-00s.

Every year, there are blockbuster movies with box office revenue of 800 million or even more than 1 billion Hong Kong dollars.

The most important thing is to make the stars in this TV series by Time Media become popular in the island country.

Just after I sent this message, a new one arrived. It was from Quan Zhixian, "Director Li, do you dare to take me out to eat a bowl of spicy hot pot for a few dollars and then beat me to death again?"

"It's amazing! A lot of the high-end ingredients are so much better than the barbecue and fried chicken we have over here, and I don't have to suffer so much just to stay in shape."

Tomorrow is New Year’s Eve.

Li Wenyu went back to his hometown for a few days in advance, and Pang Bing ran around with Azhi during the Spring Festival Gala rehearsals.

Lao Li looked at the aerodynamics textbook and realized that women would only hinder his improvement and progress.

After a few seconds, he put the textbook into his briefcase and went out.

He could only say that men's mouths could be dishonest, full of nonsense and nonsense.

But sometimes the body is the most honest.
