Huayu has been doing one good deed a day since 2001

Chapter 128: Is he striving for the title of the richest man? [Subscribe]

time flies.

On October 10, Li Wenyu just woke up in a large suite in a big hotel in Seoul when he heard the sound of a text message on his cell phone.

He grabbed it and found that it was a letter from Gao Yuanyuan.

"Director Li, New Police Story grossed 1.08 million RMB in the first three weeks in mainland China, 3200 million in Hong Kong, and 3200 million Hong Kong dollars in Taiwan, which equates to 1.72 million nationwide."

"South Korea had 5700 million viewers in three weeks, Japan had 5100 million viewers, and Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand had 4200 million viewers. Oh my god, are they all going there for Huang Xiaoming and Qin Lan?"

"On the official New Police Story account, 60% of the comments were about Xiao Ming and Qin Lan, 20% were about you, and 5% were about that A-Zu."

"I feel like Uncle Lung has almost become a supporting role in this movie."

The New Police Story, which was released on National Day, has already grossed over 3.6 million in East Asia and Southeast Asia. Is that an exaggeration?

It is neither exaggerated nor not exaggerated.

How popular was F4 after Meteor Garden, spreading across Asia? The influence of Huang Xiaoming, Professor Huang, is twice that of the F4 group combined.

It wasn't until 04 that Daomingsi starred in his first movie. Even though Andy Lau also starred in the same movie, Brother Hua was just a supporting role, the second male lead.

The male lead of Daomingsi.

Such a bad movie only has a Douban score of over 5 points!

It ranked fourth in Hong Kong's annual box office rankings, and its box office in mainland China was almost the same, but it also ranked 20th in the annual box office rankings.

This was the first time that Meteor Garden was urgently stopped from being broadcast in mainland China.

This is the data three years after Meteor Garden was first broadcast!
In 2002, one year after Meteor Garden was aired, F4's Asian tour concert had an average audience of 3 people per show, with the average ticket price reaching 2000 yuan per ticket.

That’s the average ticket price of 2000 yuan during the peak period.

He earned 100 million Singapore dollars from advertising endorsements in half a year, catching up with the Four Heavenly Kings and Ren Xianqi and others.

The album sold 36 copies in five days!

This is the terrifying phenomenon known as the Light of Asia.

At this stage, Huang Xiaoming's box office appeal can only be described as terrifying.

Xiao Ming is so terrifying, and with the second female lead Qin Lan, combined with Jackie Chan's police and gangster stories that are better than the best?
Even though many people are aesthetically fatigued by Jackie Chan's movies and feel that they are not very exciting, there will still be countless people who contribute to the box office just to see Huang Xiaoming and Qin Lan.

You have to know the original trajectory, New Police Story had a very average box office.

This doubling of data is too dramatic!

Li Wenyu didn't have time to reply.

Da Meiyuan received another text message, "That Uncle Long didn't give us a share of the Time box office revenue, so he should make up for it from other sources, right? It wouldn't be appropriate if he took too much advantage."

"After all, when he invited Huang Xiaoming, we still gave him a 50% discount on his salary as a friendship price."

"Boss, I'm a little excited. Would you like to comfort me? Maybe I won't need to use props when I play a role with a strong conscience in the future."

Of course, the success of New Police Story was not known to the outside world for the first time after three weeks of accumulation. After all, Huang Xiaoming had been on the roadshow for three weeks.

I can only say that every roadshow where Xiao Ming appears is more sensational than F4’s concerts that can gather tens of thousands of fans.

If the armed police had not been dispatched in advance to coordinate order at each place, the roadshow would not have been able to go on.

F4 tour tickets cost a lot of money, but roadshows don’t require tickets!

Jackie Chan contacted Lao Li as early as the first week's results came out, and his situation was similar to that of Hong Yubao, China Star and others.

As long as it is a movie starring Jackie Chan, he will go around and negotiate for it, trying to get the exclusive online broadcasting rights of those films for the next ten years at a price of HK$3 or RMB per film.

Jackie Chan, Stephen Chow, Sammo Hung, Wang Jing, etc., including Jet Li's Wong Fei Hung series, and classics such as New Dragon Inn and The East is Red.

The number of online broadcasting rights acquired is increasing.

There was definitely no need for LeTV to be established in 2004!

And Huang Xiaoming + Qin Lan have such great appeal?
Li Jiaxin, another biggest beneficiary of "You Who Came From the Stars", is also full of such kind appeal, so he said that the box office of "Extreme Escape" will definitely be good after it is finished.

After reading Da Meiyu's message, Lao Li scrolled up to check more text messages he had received while he was asleep, from more than one phone.

After the examination, Quan Zhixian woke up in a daze and ran barefoot to Lao Li to settle the account, "Director Li, you earn so much money, how do you spend it?"

"I'm really worried that you have too much money to spend..."

"It's a miracle. The Hunger Games books 180 and 310 sold million copies in South Korea in just four months. Together with the other three books, the total has exceeded million copies."

The cumulative gross royalty income from sales of 490 million is HK$1.47 million.

South Korea has the most expensive retail price in East Asia and Southeast Asia, with a book costing HK$200. In other countries like Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand, the price ranges from HK$50 to HK$150.

Only 30 yuan per book in mainland China!
Xiaoquan was almost crying with envy, just like what Li Jiaxin complained before, that the medical beauty group paid her 3000 million to lie, and that 3000 million was for the top male stars in South Korea.

The total pre-tax remuneration for taking on 15 films.

This topic has been discussed since returning to South Korea. Fat Bing and Ah Xin are not around for the time being, and Xiaoxian has become much more unrestrained.

"I want to reiterate that I'm not asking you for money or gifts. I'm just envious of the incomes of you Chinese celebrities!"

"Sister Xin and Sister Bingbing's few commercials alone are worth as much as the combined salaries of our top movie stars and biggest stars for several major films."

"Please comfort my broken heart."

Old Li was speechless. "If you keep asking for comfort, you'll need to be hospitalized. Are you sure?"

"I also met with Executive Li today to discuss the launch. Samsung has arranged a bunch of staff to come and hand over to Rong Ge and Hong Yubao's team."

Their main creative team arrived in South Korea the day before yesterday.

Old Li has been pestered by Xiao Quan for almost 30 hours and has not gone out.

Quan Zhixian shuddered, clearly feeling the discomfort and numbness in her arms, legs, and waist. "Forget it, let me rest for a while."

While she was talking, she ran to the weighing scale and saw the number of 52 kilograms, which excited her so much that she screamed. She quickly ran to change her clothes and put on makeup, waiting to eat and enjoy the food.

After being a Gangjie for 9 months, the happiest thing for her is that no matter how much she eats or how greedy she is, she doesn’t have to suppress her appetite or control herself to be patient.

Li Wenyu had just finished packing and walked out of the guest room.

Da Meiyuan was already waiting outside the door. When she saw him, she ran over and said, "Boss, Sister Bingbing and Sister Xin are not here. Aren't you bored?"

"By the way, is Sister Bingbing really going to play the second female lead in that sitcom "Wulin Wai Zhuan"? If she doesn't do it, it's my turn to be the backup. Do you think I'm a good backup?"

Currently, as the boss of a media group, Time Media promotes and cooperates in the development of eight film and television projects, including eight that are currently waiting to be released.

It was a work task that lasted from 03 to 04 or 05.

As the big boss, Li Wenyu's only directorial projects are "Extreme Job" and the yet-to-start Blue Jasmine. For the others, he is the producer and chief planner.

This is exactly the same as Huayi's Wang Da and Wang Xiao, China Star Xiang Lao Shi and Xiang Shisan, Media Asia's Lao Lin, etc., who hired multiple directors and formed multiple teams at the same time.

It’s just that Li Wenyu has produced too many scripts.

He didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Xiao Gao, you are so pretty. Do you know what Bingbing said about you?"

Da Meiyuan then froze and laughed awkwardly, "What did you say?"

Old Li Xiao explained speechlessly, "You are the most threatening."

Da Meiyuan's mother shook her head, "Impossible, how could I be a threat? I just thought you were too angry in South Korea, so don't touch the mess that Samsung treats you to."

"I'll help you." "Or maybe I'm so obedient. After all my hard work and dedication this year, you should reward me or encourage me a little bit."

Xiao Gao was complaining in her heart, does Pang Bing think so highly of her?
This is slander!
When filming for "My Love from the Star" started last year, she obediently followed the instructions and took on the role of a female fighter. For a whole year, she has been practicing Baguazhang, Xingyiquan and new-style gun fighting moves.

Li Wenyu took another look at Da Meiyu's condition while walking.

View target: Gao Yuanyuan.

Acting, (72/100).

Baguazhang performance routine, (67/100).

Xingyiquan performance routine, (65/100).

New school hardcore gunfight performance routine, (64/100).

English, (45/100).

……

Compared with two or three months ago, there have been two or three small improvements.

My English has improved since I started working on the set of My Love from the Star. I often practiced boxing with Jeon Ji-hyun. It's been a year now, and I developed it just by chatting with her.

Gao Yuanyuan may not understand other people’s English.

She can understand a lot of what Quan Zhixian says.

Furthermore, Jeon Ji-hyun has made great progress in listening to Mandarin. She served as the Korean voice actor for Gao Yuanyuan in "The Beekeeper", and no translator was needed between the two.

…………

Time flies.

On December 2003, 12, when a flight from Los Angeles to Beijing landed, Pang Bing once again drove a large RV to pick it up.

After Li Wenyu stepped onto the RV, Pang Bing asked curiously, "Is it too late? The Berlin International usually announces the list in late January and awards the prizes in February."

"I feel like you've lost a lot of money by going off to film for over a month."

Time Media's "Extreme Escape" and "Beekeeper" movies each started filming in October. Li Wenyu stayed in Hong Kong Island and South Korea for a while.

He flew to Los Angeles at the end of October to start filming "Blue Jasmine".

The third and fourth female roles, that is, the stepdaughter of the first female role, are played by Megan Fox.

Aunt Lin Qingxia took her to the crew for half a month to polish the film.

But when the filming really started, it was Li Wenyu who was by her side, giving her all kinds of instructions and explaining the scenes, breaking them down and letting her do the breakthrough.

John Lone plays Gong Li's ex-husband, who really had a hard time giving birth to a child like Blake.

Fortunately, Li Wenyu had a cheat. During various special trainings, he lent Megan some attribute points and used cheats to help her make up for it, allowing her to have an epiphany like Yang Mi did when she played the tuner.

Recycle it after the performance.

Megan gave a well-executed performance that definitely didn't drag the movie down.

Now Gong Li has flown to Berlin with the finished film to apply for the nomination.

Li Wenyu laughed. "We only shot for 40 days, and there's a high probability we'll win the Silver Bear for Best Director and the Golden Bear for Best Picture. How can we lose money?"

The two of them are like newlyweds after a short separation.

The driver was Li Jiaxin. Her extreme escape scene had been filmed and was now in post-production, including special effects production.

Pang Bing quickly started to let loose. "How can I lose money? Now Time Campus has 3500 million registered users inside the walls, and over 1000 million outside the walls."

"Those who wanted to raise capital were simply outrageous. Some even gave gifts to my parents, and even Sister Xin's family members received jewelry."

Fat Bing is eloquent.

Li Jiaxin couldn't help laughing, "Yeah, that's really funny. I heard that IDG CEO Xiong even sent several truckloads of gifts to your family compound in your hometown."

"Where has this outer silver bullet offensive gone astray?"

Ah Xin drove the car very slowly and steadily, just to let Pang Bing speak slowly.

During the entire filming of "Blue Jasmine", Quan Zhixian flew to Hollywood to help Li Wenyu sprinkle some water to cool down.

The two of them wanted to go but were still rejected.

Hollywood in this era is extremely magical, so we should avoid it if we can.

It’s not that people around him will be targeted or set up if they go there, but he has been targeted by capital, including SoftBank, which has tried more than once to raise funds to enter Weibo and the campus network.

Therefore, the probability of top beauties like Pang Bing and Ah Xin being set up once they go there is over 90%!

Jeon Ji-hyun is fine because she has the support of Samsung, which is also capital. Don’t forget that Samsung’s major shareholder is also American capital.

I briefly talked about the development of the next two websites.

Li Jiaxin continued, "New Police Story finally grossed 2.19 million in mainland China, 1.27 million in Hong Kong and Macau, and 1.3 million in South Korea, bringing the total domestic box office to 7100 million Hong Kong dollars."

"Jackie Chan made a fortune this time, a total of 6.06 million in East Asia and Southeast Asia. He gave you the copyrights of all his old films for free for ten years, but you still got a loss."

"Ever since Huang Xiaoming and Qin Lan stopped touring the country and instead moved to Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, and South Korea, the box office for New Police Story has plummeted."

"Luckily, the 03 beauty pageant was at its peak, and Weibo's "off-wall" version saw countless new registered users, both white and black, all vying for votes for Meghan, Jessica, Scarlett Johansson, Anne Hathaway, and others."

"SoftBank's latest offer is 10 million US dollars, %. Oh my god, it's really..."

10% of 10 million US dollars equals a valuation of billion US dollars!
Before it even went public, its market value had already caught up with Big Penguin’s in its first year of listing.

That's normal, as the Big Penguin rang the bell in Hong Kong Island six months later, and in June 6, it quickly exceeded HK$2005 billion.

If IDG is willing to resell that 20% now, the original $8000 million will directly become $2 million.

On January 2003, 1, Xiong Xiaoge transferred funds, and the profit was 1% by the end of the year!
The market value of Time Weibo has skyrocketed, plus the campus network?
Lao Li was already striving to become the richest man in mainland China in 04, and he also spent more than a month filming a movie called "Blue Jasmine".

…………

More than half an hour later, after a full meal and rubbing his belly, Fat Bing complained, "I'm really getting carried away. I feel like I'm seeing your value skyrocket."

"Things like film and television trophies and box office success are all a bit insignificant."

"You're almost the richest man, when are you going to quit?"

Now we are at Lao Li’s home in the courtyard!
Li Wenyu watched Ah Xin begin her sprint in the marathon relay race and asked suspiciously, "What do you mean by quitting?"

He never thought about quitting.

This is just the beginning. China's entertainment and film industries haven't even officially taken off yet. Besides, it's due to the limitations of the times.

Pang Bing and A Xin definitely don’t understand what market value is?

Whether it's Weibo, campus network, or Baidu, they may all quickly reach tens of billions or hundreds of billions, and then fall to the ground with a bang.

In 20 years, Baidu will be able to kill itself, and once AI comes out with intelligent search, it will be able to kill Baidu.

That stuff will become more and more garbage in the future.

They certainly could not have imagined that a Chinese film series could break 100 billion.

Wall Street capital is also very greedy for Hollywood's profits. It just wants to get a piece of the pie, but was taught a lesson by the capital behind the original major studios.
