Chapter 163 Top Forbes Celebrity List, Post-85 Billionaire

In April 2010, "Xin Huan Zhu Ge Ge", which has been hyped by the outside world, announced the establishment of the project, and announced the relevant main creative lineup, which is basically dominated by newcomers.

Ziwei Hailu, Little Swallow Li Sheng, fifth elder brother Zhang Rui and Erkang Gao Ziqi.

Strictly speaking, these are not newcomers. Several of them have debuted for several years, but this is sometimes the case in the entertainment industry. It is not counted by the age of debut, but by your popularity.

As long as you are a young actor, it doesn't matter how many years you debuted, as long as you are not famous, you are a newcomer.

Of the four most important actors, two are in the theater and one is in the Chinese opera. Only Xiao Yanzi is a non-professional actor, which can be regarded as a draft debut.

These four also signed contracts with Shanghai Chuangyi Culture. The boss behind this company is Qiong Yao, who is quite well-known. Zhao, Lin Xinru, and Fan Xiaopang all came out of this company in the early years.

As a national IP that was so popular in Asia back then, with many top streamers, and there are still several super big flowers, the influence of "Xin Huan Zhu Ge Ge" is not a joke.

The new versions of Little Swallow and Ziwei quickly received intensive exposure from the media, and actors also began to emerge.

It's just that most people focus on the four male and female protagonists, especially the two female protagonists, but they ignore that the third male protagonist who plays [Xiao Jian] is also an acquaintance.

"Brother Hang, congratulations."

Wei Yang cheerfully called to congratulate Li Jiahang, who couldn't hide his joy, but there were still some regrets.

"This company is too stingy, and I won't support it unless it's my own, or I might win Erkang."

Wei Yang smiled: "How about I help you terminate the contract?"

"No, no, no."

Li Jiahang said righteously: "What's so good about Erkang, how can our company have a bright future, boss, don't tarnish my loyalty."

"Fuck off."

Wei Yang scolded with a smile: "I see that the actresses in the news are very juicy, don't just keep your head down and filming every day, you should be there."

"Isn't that Hailu?"

Li Jiahang was stunned: "It's not that you don't know each other, you're too familiar, you can't do it."

Hailu is from the Acting Department of the 04th grade of Shanghai Opera. She is in the same class as Chen Chichi and Zhao Ji. They also have contacts in normal times, and they have a good relationship. If they have ideas, they will chase after them.

"I'm talking about the other one, little swallow, don't you just like those with big eyes?"

"Are her eyes big?"

Li Jiahang muttered something, and Wei Yang didn't complain about his stubbornness. With this guy's personality, if he really fell in love with him later, he would definitely come over with a shy face and ask for advice.

Wei Yang initially agreed with Li Jiahang to take over the filming of "Xin Huan Zhu Ge Ge", putting aside his fame and so on, the main purpose was to help him find a wife.

In the previous life, the couple was well matched and harmonious, Wei Yang didn't want to have a butterfly effect, and lose his brother and daughter-in-law to the butterfly.

"By the way, Old Wei, no, Brother Yang, I beg you to do something."

After chatting for a few words, Li Jiahang suddenly opened his mouth expectantly, and Wei Yang knew that this guy was going to make trouble as soon as he heard him call brother.

"Say."

"Then what, didn't I just join the cast of "Love Apartment 2"? The cast and crew are all normal, and I usually like to have dinner and drink together. Once the atmosphere was good and the wine got too drunk, that..."

Li Jiahang was a little embarrassed, Wei Yang asked suspiciously: "Who did you sleep with? Or who did you sleep with?"

"No, it's like this..."

Li Jiahang explained with a bitter face that everyone in "Love Apartment" knew that he and Wei Yang had a good relationship. When they talked about a cameo at a party, they didn't know who could ask Wei Yang to make a cameo, and then a few people started teasing Li Jiahang and Lou Yi Xiao.

At that time, everyone was drinking, and they were a little bit hot. In addition, the two of them had a quiet personality and a good-natured person. They couldn't bear to refuse, so they agreed to give it a try.

After sobering up from the wine, Lou Yixiao didn't dare to make a call, so she begged to transfer the matter to Li Jiahang.

"I didn't want to trouble you at first, so I made excuses and already turned it down for you, but this director Wei Zheng is very sincere. Didn't he almost ask you to play Lu Ziqiao before? He has always felt deeply regretful, so he has a knot in his heart.

That's why I want to call you alone to invite you. I've called you a few times, and I can't stop you from speaking very sincerely. You can see if you can give him a reply, and just find an excuse to refuse, just pick me out. "

Wei Yang knew about Li Jiahang's problem. He was a good guy, he valued feelings, and he was not good at rejecting friends. Oftentimes, he would soften his heart when he begged for it.

That is to say, knowing that Wei Yang is afraid of trouble, he has blocked several times, and he will only speak when he can't hold on.

For his own business, he probably nodded his head a long time ago.

Wei Yang is still very accepting of his problem, mainly because he also needs it. Sometimes he needs help in private. As long as he says a few soft words, Li Jiahang will curse and swear, but he will still come out to cover for him at critical moments. .

In the eyes of Xiao Zhao and Liu Shishi, Li Jiahang is an alcoholic, a fan of nightclubs and online games, brother-dependent, the king of broken-hearted, not very good at private life... even a little gay.

Now that you enjoy the convenience, you will naturally have to endure some troubles.

"When will your crew wrap up?"

"July or August."

"Exactly, are you graduating from school at the end of June? I have to go back, and I happened to stop by to play a guest role in your crew. Let's talk about it first, and I will give you a two-day schedule."

Li Jiahang was a little surprised: "It's true."

"Just kidding, I don't have time for someone else to play a cameo, but if I don't want to save face from Brother Hang, I have to go. I'll ask the team to contact your crew later."

"Brother Yang is awesome, I'll treat you when I go back."

"There's no need for a treat, you just have to remember one thing. You're interested in Nazha, and I'm usually helping you match the thread, don't say anything, um, that's it, it's time to film, hang up."

"..."

Before Li Jiahang started to be "polite", Wei Yang hung up the phone.

Good brothers help each other, if Li Jiahang has any similar needs in the future, he will help out, but if not, then forget it...

...

In addition to Li Jiahang's participation in "New Pearl and Princess", Wei Yang is currently paying more attention to the other two works of Blue Whale besides filming.

"This Life is the First Time" and "Hello, Old Time"

The latter is currently still in post-production, but the copyright has already been sold. Due to the preferential contract terms, the platform parties are still Modu Satellite TV and Youku Video.

The first round of the TV version will be aired exclusively on stars, with a single episode of 120 million, and a total of 30 episodes, with a total price of 3600 million yuan.

Youku Video gave a price of 20 yuan for a single episode, and a total of 600 million won the right to broadcast on the Internet.

This price is quite good. After all, the cost of the TV series is here. Except for Liu Shishi, the main creative team does not have a very popular actor. The reason for the high price is mainly due to the influence of the first two films and Wei Yang's signature.

The first round + webcast is 4200 million, and the combined amount of patch and ad placement is about 1200 million. If the subsequent two or three rounds go well, it is estimated that there will be more than 1000 million.

Combined with other miscellaneous proceeds, the total proceeds of "Hello, Old Times" are expected to reach 7000 million.

Of course, various other expenses such as filming, publicity costs, taxes, etc. must be deducted, but the final net profit should not exceed 5000 million.

Even so, the earning power of this project is even catching up with the previous "You Who Came from the Stars".

But such a project is really rare.

The previous work has great influence + golden signboard, the cost is not high, and the profit margin is considerable. As long as the operation does not pull the hips, you can really make money with your eyes closed.

In contrast, "This is the first time in my life" is a relatively normal high-quality film and television project income.

The investment cost was less than 1000 million, and Blue Whale and Tang Ren split the accounts 35-[-]. Most of the funds were provided by the financial backers that Blue Whale found, and he took [-]% of the share.

When the show first sold "You Who Came from the Star", the webcast rights were sold to LeTV along the way, earning more than 400 million yuan.

The first round of broadcasting rights was named Blue Whale and Tang Ren, and Wei Yang was the chief screenwriter, so it was favored by Shanghai Satellite TV. In the end, the two satellite TVs joined forces and sold 65 for a single episode. The total of 28 episodes of the show is nearly 1800 million.

The copyright, pre-roll advertisements and a small part of local TV placements add up to less than 500 million.

Accumulated and added up, the total income in the early stage is 2800 million. After deducting the costs and expenses, the profits are divided among each company. Blue Whale has almost earned a net profit of more than 400 million.

In the future, if the performance of the TV series is good and the influence rises, the second and third rounds and other income should still earn 100 to 200 million.

This kind of profit ratio is definitely not comparable to "My Love from the Star" and "Hello, Old Time", but for many film and television companies, this is already considered good.

Especially Blue Whale, apart from the script, he hardly spent any money or worried about it. He earned millions for nothing, won a heroine, and needed a bicycle.

The net profit of the two dramas, Blue Whale, was nearly 5000 million. Boss Wei's net worth soared, and the funds in his hands suddenly became more abundant.

Of course, this part of the funds is still in the process of being paid back, and Wei Yang is not in a hurry, even if it is in the account, he will not tamper with it.

After the filming of "Eastern Palace" and "Shanshan Is Coming" is completed, the company will spare no effort to recruit and train enough talents, and the stalls will be spread out. The money will only feel insufficient, and it will never be too much.

Wei Yang feels that he is just getting started, but in the eyes of outsiders, he is already a peerless macho.

In the new issue of Forbes Real-time Celebrity Ranking, Wei Yang went from the top five two months ago to the top of the list in one fell swoop.

In less than May, his income has already reached 5 million, surpassing Dayao, Jay Chou, Cheng Long, and Fan Xiaopang to become the most profitable artist this year.

After the announcement of the Forbes list, many people's first reaction was not to believe it, because although Wei Yang is hot enough now, but the time is too short, there is still a distance between the coffee position and fame compared with these few, how could he earn more .

But Forbes didn't arrange them randomly, and quickly announced the reason.

At the end of last year, "You Who Came from the Star" became popular, and Wei Yang and Fan Xiaopang were the kings of money making in the industry. Various commercial endorsements received soft deals, and the related income was not inferior to Dayao.

And Wei Yang's remuneration and other income may not be as good as Cheng Long, Jay Chou and other international superstars and Asian kings, but his commercial attributes cannot be supported.

According to Forbes' estimates, the Blue Whale dramas have earned him at least tens of millions.

And this kind of related film and television investment has always been listed as a key point by Forbes. The main sources of income of Zhao Benshan and Zhang Guoli who are also on the list are the same, but Wei Yang earns more hard, and finally wins the top spot.

The exposure of Wei Yang's income composition has amazed countless people. If it's just a hit, everyone will say "good luck" in a sour manner.

But this kind of film and television production, self-produced and sold, is not something that ordinary people can do, it is a real skill.

1.5 million, this is less than half a year!

The Forbes list made Wei Yang a figure on the cusp.

Not only the entertainment section, but also the social and financial sections began to pay attention to this young billionaire born in 85......
