Huayu has been doing one good deed a day since 2001

Chapter 318 I Accidentally Became the Richest Chinese Person in the World
On August 14, the search engine booted up successfully.

With a cast of talented actors, the purely dramatic scenes progressed very efficiently.

Around noon, just as the production team was about to have lunch, Lao Li received a report.

Deng Chao, Qin Hao, and Chen Kun have arrived.

This was a set visit, but also an audition for the lead role in the (Never Ending) film project.

They came to have Lao Li review it.

of course.

The new project gives them the opportunity to leverage the influence of the four popular young actors and make better use of publicity.

However, veteran actors such as He Bing, Nie Yuan, Yin Xiaotian, and Qiao Zhenyu, who are signed with Time Entertainment, are also included.

Then there are Zu Feng, Zhang Jin, and so on.

They could all run for the male lead in this Korean Peninsula blockbuster.

Old Li felt that acting skills and image should be taken into consideration.

Ultimately, the winner should be decided among Deng Chao, Yin Xiaotian, and Qin Hao.

Speaking of which, Chen Kun is still filming Painted Skin. If he wins, he will have to suspend the production of Painted Skin and wait for his schedule to allow him to focus on one project.

Time Media also invested in this version of Painted Skin, holding a 20% stake.

It's not that Time doesn't miss any opportunities or projects, or that it has to get involved in everything.

Just like Dong Xuan, who has a mystical effect, countless groups hire her because they feel that starting out shouldn't be a loss.

Since his debut, Lao Li's record has been terrifying, abnormal, and unscientific.

So don't say that Jiang Shuying, one of the Eight Beauties, took the role of Yanzi.

The main initiator of the (Painted Skin) project, Ning City Film Studio, brought the script to Time Media to attract investment right from the start.

After Time Film Studio invested in the project, other studios such as Shanghai Film Studio joined the project.

Chen Kun's acting skills are not as good as Deng Chao's and Qin Hao's.

But if he has a chance to win, he will postpone the production of Painted Skin for a while, since it won't be released during the Lunar New Year holiday anyway.

In 08, when a major natural disaster struck, the entertainment industry mainly focused on promoting mainstream values.

Disaster relief and post-disaster rescue.

Many blockbuster movies will be postponed until 09.

Those who need rest or a break will be arranged directly.

Old Li is eating a boxed lunch with Liu Shishi, Megan, and others.

After Deng Chao and his assistants delivered a series of small gifts, they came here to wait for their audience.

These are the ones that arrived the fastest.

Chen Kun asked for leave.

Qin Hao had nothing better to do, and he generally wouldn't even look at a second-generation Qin Hao.

Before Old Li could say anything, Qin Hao excitedly flattered him for a while, laughing, "Boss, I'm currently competing for a major supporting role on a billboard."

"If I have the opportunity to play the male lead in a new blockbuster, I'll turn it down."

Old Li was speechless. "Which character is in the billboard?"

The director for the three billboards had already been decided.

However, the production team in front of the camera has always been the one contacting the actors and stars.

This includes how to integrate advertising, so that even if the film doesn't become a box office hit, the film can still recoup its costs and make money through advertising.

Fei Jing was just a tool; he went to Hong Kong Island to gather the crew for filming.

The real strategy is for Da Meiyuan to temporarily take over as CEO of Pang Bing, which is how to operate the business and make money.

Billboard is a project that features only a female lead and no male lead, only various male supporting characters.

Logically speaking, supporting actors wouldn't offer film contracts to Qin Hao, a star who has made a huge impact.

This is a story about a middle-aged mother who has lost her daughter, and the situation where the police are unable to catch the murderer, who remains at large.

The middle-aged and elderly mother rented three billboards on the main road outside the town.

He wrote several articles, including "Given a woman to death," "The case is still unsolved," and "What's going on, [police station name]!"
Three short, sharp lines of text on a large billboard ask the question.

It directly put the town's police station in a difficult position, creating a story about a strong female protagonist who couldn't back down.

That's a scene that over 90% of people entering and leaving the town can clearly see!
Qin Hao hurriedly explained, "I heard there was an interesting perverted police officer character, so I volunteered to apply for the role."

Old Li was speechless.

Hiroshi Nidai wants to try out the role that won him the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor.

A police chief and his subordinate are both nominated for an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor.

The sergeant's subordinate, who had many accolades, took home the trophy.

This person has violent vices, racial discrimination, and a crush on older women, among other things.

This provides more room for performance than a police chief who suffers from cancer, is beloved by many, and is powerless to help the victim's mother solve the case.

Old Li nodded, "Actually, in this new project (Never Ending), the male lead doesn't have as much depth as the supporting character in Billboard."

"Similar to the 'Return to the Ming Dynasty' project, where ordinary people get promoted, receive a raise, and reach the pinnacle of their lives. It's a satisfying story."

"A strong popcorn movie, a standard commercial blockbuster."

Deng Chao quickly chimed in, "That's right, ordinary commercial blockbusters don't offer much room for artistic expression. Lao Qin, why don't you go back to competing for a supporting role in an award-winning film?"

Deng Xiaoping finished filming the first season of (The Winner Takes All).

He's been resting, or rather, showing affection for Sun Li.

At this stage, Deng Chao has publicly announced that he and Sun Li are together when promoting the movie.

They were very high-profile partners during the roadshows for projects like "The Warlords" and "You Are the Apple of My Eye".

This was also the most sensational gossip news in the Chinese film and television industry in 2007.

After all, he is one of the four leading male actors who are comparable to the four leading actresses.

Qin Hao jokingly scolded Deng Chao a few times, then smiled obsequiously and flattered him again, "I just heard that the male lead in (Endless) ends up running for the presidency of the peninsula."

"This kind of action movie formula is also very exciting."

"Even if I only act in movies, my life will be worth remembering."

Deng Chao and Chen Kun looked at each other in bewilderment.

A few seconds later, Old Chen coughed and laughed, "My acting skills are probably the worst. I'll probably just be a runner-up this time."

He also wanted to complain that even in the movie, he could only provoke the young president of the peninsula.

It was also a small part of my daydream coming true.

But Chen Kun also knew that among the four leading men, his acting skills were the weakest.

He was originally supposed to be evenly matched with Huang Xiaoming! A 50/50 chance!

Whether it's movies or TV series, Chen Kun and Lao Huang have a strong idol-like presence.

They lack the solid acting skills and strength of Qin Hao and Deng Chao.

However, Huang Xiaoming went on to star in the Hangover series and then took on the lead role in (Gone Girl).

It completely eliminated the greasy feeling of a big idol.

He is a true acting talent who can hone his skills to meet the requirements of various qualities, from simple and unpretentious to calm and composed, and is comparable to those in blockbuster films.

Deng Chao and Qin Hao laughed together.

Old Li shook his head and said, "It's up to you all to perform. Since you're already here, each of you can go and get your own script. I'll give you three days to decide the winner."

This film was delayed because Ning Hao had been struggling to produce it after finishing "Slumdog Millionaire".

Ning Hao will continue to direct the Lunar New Year blockbuster.

Let's keep up the pleasantries and politeness for a while.

Three young actors volunteered to make a cameo appearance (search).

Old Li did not refuse.

At least during the National Day holiday promotional period, we can continue to bring these guys along for roadshows.

……

Evening of the 14th.

Old Li led his team back to the branch office building.

The biggest difference between the building and the Beijing headquarters is that there is no internal cafeteria.

After all, they don't stay there permanently.

He didn't expect to receive a report as soon as he arrived at the building.

Huang Xiaoming has ordered a huge amount of food and drinks from a five-star hotel, and they are on their way.

Old Li has decided to pit Huang Xiaoming and Jin Dong against each other for the male lead in (Sheep Without a Shepherd).

Of course, it's also because Lao Huang's schedule is under some pressure.

But he can definitely manage the filming schedule.

His cameo role as the doctor who saved Tony Stark in Iron Man has long since ended.

Even though The Hangover Part III had a terrible ending, it still bombarded theaters this summer.

Several episodes of the fourth season of The Big Bang Theory have already been produced.

We're just waiting for it to premiere in September during the fall season.

Filming and broadcasting were done simultaneously, with the storyline adjusted according to market conditions.

If Huang Xiaoming wins, he only needs to fly between the two sides of the Pacific more frequently to gain control of the overall situation.

This could be considered filming multiple projects simultaneously, but Huang was already filming the fourth season of The Big Bang Theory.

He's already incredibly adept at portraying characters, immersing himself in the role, and detaching himself from it. Now, he's eager to seize the opportunity to take on more good films.

The hotel takeout feast began in the conference room on the second floor of the media branch.

When Lao Huang ran around offering toasts, Li Wenyu simply drank two glasses and then let them go off to do team building activities on their own.

It's rare to see all four of the most popular male stars gathered together in the game.

Lao Huang is often in the United States, while Deng Chao spent more than a year in the peninsula and island countries.

Whether Qin Hao plays the second male lead in "The Wolf of Wall Street" or the most villainous second-generation heir of a Hong Kong conglomerate in "Extreme Job 2: The Old Man", he is a force to be reckoned with.

He also spends a lot of time away from the mainland.

In comparison, Chen Kun is similar.

Everyone was still eating.

More and more actors and celebrities are arriving at the Shanghai branch.

Many of them had just gotten off the plane and rushed over.

Besides other actors who also had a chance to compete for the male lead role in (Never Ending).

The female lead's role also involves a lot of competition among many people.

Old Li was both amused and exasperated.

Leaving aside the internal figures like Zhang Ziyi and Yang Xue, and then queuing up to Hao, Reyizha, and others.

Zhang Bozhi flew over overnight, hoping to test the waters and seek an opportunity.

He was blocked by Azhi in the underground parking lot, which happened late at night when Lao Li wanted to go out for a walk.

Old Li greeted him with a smile, "You've finished filming Ip Man?"

Ah Zhi hurriedly smiled ingratiatingly and tried to cling to Lao Li, saying, "The entire project has already wrapped up filming."

"Brother Yu, you have plenty of firepower, why don't you just bring a few more turrets and start firing?"

"There's no need to go out late at night all the time; you'd be at a huge loss if you encountered danger."

Li Wenyu smiled and shook his head, "Actually, it's quite convenient for me to get familiar with each city. A person should always travel and see more of the world in their lifetime."

Zhang Bozhi draped herself over Lao Li's arm again, smiling sweetly, "Look at me, I used to be dark-skinned and thin, and I had a lot of skin problems."

"I promise not to let my family hear any rumors and not to let my father come to the mainland to cause trouble for people."

"You can just leave me to grow plants for a few months."

"So that it'll be convenient for me to get married after fulfilling my dream? I don't need to marry into a wealthy family."

"Find someone you click with and make do for the rest of your life."

Old Li was speechless again.

He had never touched the other person, not because he couldn't respect them.

Or perhaps they dislike or something.

It's quite remarkable that Ah Zhi has remained chaste since she met him at the end of 01, pursued him relentlessly, and despite being rejected multiple times, has still managed to remain chaste.

Even considering the sunk cost issue, she actually stuck with it until the summer of 2007.

Ah Zhi's father has never been able to get out of the deep pits of fraud, gambling, and so on.

My mom is a skilled entrepreneur who has repeatedly started businesses through marriage and divorce.

My family background is too complicated!
After offering a few simple and polite words of comfort to Azhi, he set off with Tong Liya, who looked on with amusement.

As they walked, Xiao Tong beamed with pride, saying, "Every time I see you turn down offers that come your way, I feel incredibly proud of myself."

"I never dreamed that Mao Xiaotong would be so sweet, quiet and beautiful."

"They'll send you those kinds of selfies in private."

Today is the 15th.

Mao Xiaotong's film (Sky of Love) did not just finish its first weekend in mainland China.

The film has been showing for two days now, marking the start of a new work week.

how to say.

(The winner is justice) was successfully broadcast on Beijing TV.

It achieved a peak viewership rating of 16.9% in its first run, making it much more popular than (Chinese Paladin 1).

Mao Xiaotong is gaining popularity on the small screen.

Chen Xiao and Jin Shijia also led the roadshow.

These two are the male leads in "The Legend of the Blue Sea".

It achieved a peak viewership rating of 26.7% when broadcast in mainland China.

A small phenomenon that became a major idol drama.

(Koizora) had a 20% screening rate over its first three days.

The main focus is on hype and promotion; this is recommended as the best movie-watching guide for Qixi Festival (Chinese Valentine's Day) in a few days.

2100 million RMB in three days!

That's pretty good.

The early days of La La Land were disastrous, accumulating only 6800 million in a single month.

Therefore, the screening rate of (Koizora) has increased to 35% this week.

Meanwhile, the screening rates for films like "You Are the Apple of My Eye" and "Chasing the Dragon" are decreasing. On Qixi Festival (Chinese Valentine's Day) on August 19, it is estimated that "Sky of Love" will have a screening rate of over 40%.

This trend indicates that (Koizora) hasn't had a particularly strong or aggressive momentum this summer.

Overall, the mainland market is poised to surpass 2 million and reach 3 million, and the national market is also quite likely to reach 4 million.

She holds her position as one of the Five Dragon Maidens of Time very firmly.

Old Li coughed and said, "She just wanted to repay a debt of gratitude. She had no other way to do it, so she wanted to help out like Sister Qing did."

"But at Qingjie's age, her mindset is completely different from that of a little girl."

Tong Liya asked curiously, "Have Azhi or Yang Mi sent you any nice photos?"

Old Li had nothing to say and remained silent.

He has his private mobile phone number, QQ number, and personal email address.

There are more than just one or two people who like to give out freebies.

After all, many people don't have the opportunity to receive benefits in person.

Xiao Tong didn't say much more.

She continued to feel proud of herself.

However, she still gave Old Li a strange look. Was this guy waiting for Little Li or someone else to turn eighteen?

Li Qin is seventeen years old. She is pretty but still has a small, flat chest.

It doesn’t matter what you want.

Nina Dobrev in the fourth season of The Big Bang Theory is a sweet example.

She seems to have a better figure than Mao Xiaotong.

He's eighteen years old now.

Once Lao Li gets into the swing of things, Tong Liya, who was initially able to keep up, laughed and said, "I heard that Forbes only valued Li Huanggua's assets at $230 billion this year?"

"Did they really make you the richest Chinese person?"

It's August.

Alibaba is not far from reaching a market capitalization of HK$1996 billion after its IPO.

Weibo's market capitalization surpassed HK$2000 billion, with Li holding a 40% stake. SoftBank, seeking peace in the business war, was also a major contributor to the stock price increase.

360 Group, which is expected to go public along with Alibaba, has an internal valuation of 1000 billion yuan.

Even if Lao Li releases some, he will keep 51% in his own hands.

This concerns Asia's internet security capabilities, and it's a position comparable to those of real-world competitors.

Based on internal valuation.

These two amounts to $167 billion.

Time Media is valued at HK$1200 billion, which is equivalent to US$153 billion.

These three alone amount to 320 billion dollars.

This is on par with the $320 billion valuation of a steel tycoon in White Elephant Country according to Forbes.

Is it just flat? Old Li also owns Shiguang Renren, Shiguang Video, and JD.com shares.

Even 11% of the Big Penguin is worth a lot of money now.

His total assets easily secure him the position of the fourth richest person in the world according to Forbes.

The top three are Gai with a net worth of 560 billion and Buffett with 520 billion.

The third richest person in Mexico is the richest man with $490 billion.

Old Li nodded, "That's about right, but if there really is a global financial crisis, these assets will immediately shrink in value on a large scale."

"In 20 years, when we've become old money, we won't be in the spotlight as much."

He was too exhausted to say anything more.

If we only consider net worth, he was truly better off than the old cucumber man before the global storm.

Transferring assets like cucumbers? Just as much.

A single "Time Traveler" is impossible to value.

Ten years from now, if Senribu were to release even a small piece of inside information, it would cause a global uproar.
