China Entertainment 1997.

Chapter 231 The vast profits of overseas music circles and the purchase of islands
Saying goodbye to Britney, who looked a little reluctant, Cao Xuan left Hawaii by plane.

This commercial shoot was the first time for Cao Xuan to deal with a top foreign star, and he also realized the gap between himself and a European and American celebrity like Britney.

Not to mention, Cao Xuan's advertising fee is 1500 million for three years, or 500 million per year. Some commercials have extra remuneration, but they are not very high.

But this time I chatted with Xiao Tiantian on the set. Although she didn't disclose the income of advertising fees in detail, Cao Xuan could tell from just a few words that it was at least ten times, or even dozens of times, his own.

Damn, Yankees are rich!

Cao Xuan felt a little sour. When the two parties signed the contract, Cao Xuan valued Pepsi's global promotion ability and made a certain concession on the endorsement fee.

But even so, 1500 million is considered a top-notch contract in the mainland.

But now when he compares himself with Britney, he immediately feels the gap. Cao Xuan is considered a rich man in the mainland entertainment industry, but he is really not rich compared to others.

Of course, a large part of Britney's profits belong to the company, and her own dividends are limited.

But Cao Xuan didn't care about this, he understood why Cheng Long and the others racked their brains to go to Hollywood.

Fame and status are another aspect. The key is that this is the peak period of the American entertainment industry, and money is really easy to earn.

The volume of the entire US market adds up to several Asian markets, and the most important thing is that it can be exported to the world.

Europe, Australia, South America, some Asian markets, Africa... Not much use, but better than nothing.

Cao Xuan's original album is 300 million+, which is already the top hit in the Chinese music scene, even in the Asian market, it is a very impressive figure.

But for those European and American big names, the global album sales are in the tens of millions, and the profits are easily over [-] million, and the key units are all【$】.

Although singers and musicians don't get high dividends, there are only a handful of them with more than 20%, many popular singers only get more than ten percent, and most of them are less than 10%.

But with their size here, even if the share is small, they can earn a lot, and foreign copyright control is relatively strict, so they can always pay dividends. In theory, singers and musicians can continue to eat their money.

Although he doesn't want to admit it, as a practitioner, Cao Xuan feels that the European and American music scene and film and television are more successful than those in China, and the copyright issue is definitely a big weapon.

The interests of the creators are relatively guaranteed, and if there is money to be made, everyone's enthusiasm for creation will naturally be high.

Of course, there are many disgusting things about copyright in foreign countries. The things done by Penguin and Netease in later generations are all leftovers from the old American decades ago.

After a long period of corresponding changes and adjustments, the market gradually became standardized, but there are still many loopholes.

Every year in the European and American music circles, bad things and lawsuits about copyright are commonplace, and singers who don't have a few related matters on their backs are ashamed to be called singers.

But there is one thing to say, at least in 2001, the market environment of the Chinese music scene was really not comparable to others.

Cao Xuan also became more determined to go to the United States to make money, no matter how much he made or how little he made, if he got the wool of the Yankees, he would be considered a victory...

.........

On August 8, when Cao Xuan returned to Beijing, Hu Jing drove to pick him up in person.

Cao Xuan was wearing a mask and was in no hurry to get into the car. He walked around and said, "BMW X5, where did you get it?"

"Of course I bought it."

Hu Jing raised the BMW key in her hand and said triumphantly, "I bought a new car after passing the driver's license test. I contacted Tingting. It is [-]% new and the price is tens of thousands lower."

"Second-hand, why don't you buy a new car, you don't have enough money?"

Hu Jing is not short of money, no matter what she is a popular floret, Fan Xing's salary is fully paid, and several dramas add up to a small million.

Coupled with the business performances and events that Jiang Yue occasionally contacted, some time ago, she also accepted a laundry detergent endorsement, which cost 250 million in two years.

On her own, she is a little rich woman, not to mention that Cao Xuan gives "vegetable money" from time to time, and seals a "little red envelope" on New Years and holidays. Wait.

Although Cao Xuan didn't count it in detail, it is estimated that Hu Jing still has 500 million yuan in his hands. This is not counting the two houses and other valuable assets, and it is more than enough to buy a BMW.

"I'm a novice. How distressed I am when I buy a new car. Let's drive a second-hand car first."

Hu Jing doesn't care much about old and new. If it weren't for the driving experience and safety performance, she might not even buy a BMW.

At this stage, BMW and Mercedes-Benz have become a luxury car in the mouths of many people. Some people think it has face, and some people think it is eye-catching.

Hu Jing has been with Cao Xuan for a long time, and she has also been taught to keep a low profile. When buying a car, she hesitated for a long time between Honda, Passat and BMW, and finally bought a BMW with the persuasion of her best friend.

The two got into the car, Hu Jing set out on the road cautiously, and Cao Xuan watched with trepidation.

Fortunately, after driving for a while, Hu Jing got into the mood, her expression relaxed a lot, and she took the initiative to ask.

"How does it feel to see Britney this time?"

"It's so-so. The cultural environment is different. She said Franklin, and I said Zhuge Kongming. Let's just chat."

"I think her poster is pretty."

"On that matter, it may be more in line with American aesthetics, and I think it is far worse than yours."

Cao Xuan is very eager to survive. He is not familiar with Xiao Tiantian at all. His whole heart is put on Mrs. Hu... and Zeng Damei.

Hu Jing is still very satisfied with Cao Daguan's statement, she still knows Cao Xuan well,

The aesthetics is more in love with China, Japan, Korea and East Asia, and not very interested in European and American wild horses, unless they are white and dazzling Eastern European or Northern European girls, they will pay more attention to them.

Compared with Britney, the little American queen, she is more curious about the scenery of Hawaii.

"The scenery is really good, and the weather is also good. The key is not like everyone in China knows us, and I will take you for a stroll when I have time later."

This is not good for being a celebrity. If you are too famous, traveling in the country is a luxury.

In the past, it was possible to go shopping in Asia, but now Cao Xuan reckons it is enough. If he wants to have fun without being disturbed, he can only go to Europe, America and Australia, or find a few private scenic spots or beaches that are not open to the public.

"If you really like the sea, when you get rich, you can buy an island and go on vacation."

"Dream, how expensive it is to buy an island, how can we afford it?"

Hu Jingquan took Cao Xuan as a joke. Nowadays, there are not many rich people in China, and they don’t spend so much money. There are many people who buy cars, houses and land, but not many people buy islands and planes.

"It may not be unaffordable."

Cao Xuan muttered, thinking about this matter in his heart, islands are expensive and cheap, and there are hundreds of millions of dollars, and there are many millions of dollars.

Many rich people or celebrities have this habit, some are for vacation, some are for investment in business development.

For example, Penguin bought an island in Shenzhen at a cost of nearly [-] billion, and made every effort to build the global general base "Penguin Island".

It is affectionately called "Goose City" by netizens.

If there are no accidents in this time and space, Cao Xuan may become the master Cao of this goose city.

Bah, bah, that's too unlucky.

Cao Xuan spat twice, he was just a harmless "minor shareholder" to humans and animals, the master still wanted Brother Xiao Ma to be the master, and the hanging street lamp was only master Ma, it had nothing to do with him.

However, due to the inconvenience caused by fame and the special structure of the family.

It is indeed a good choice for Cao Xuan to buy an island and create a paradise that does not attract the attention of the outside world.

After all, if you earn so much money, you still need to enjoy the joy of capital once in a while. If you are too eye-catching at home, it is much more convenient to go abroad.

Cao Xuan was happily planning a paradise and a retirement life for three nights and three days, but Hu Jing suddenly mentioned it.

"A few days ago, I was shopping with Tingting, and I heard her mention that it seems that talented girl Xu is going to compete for the top four actresses, and Wang Shuo is trying to find a way for her, and she also wants Ye Daying to help."

Cao Xuan occasionally called Xu Cainv, and Hu Jing also followed suit, not only Xu Cainv, but also referring to Mr. Zhou and Zhao Nahan in the same way.

Only the international chapter, Hu and Zeng are still called Ziyi because they miss their classmates.

A few days ago, with the help of Cao Xuan, Hu Jing's reputation has been rising rapidly. Fengyun Studio and some good media, related news reports have begun to replace Xu Cainv with her, and she is tied with Zhao Zhang on Wednesday.

Although the new version of the four major Huadans has not yet officially started, the rhythm has already begun.

Talented girl Xu has not produced many works in the past two years, and she is not as popular as Hu Jing's. This has already reached her doorstep, so it's no wonder that she is not in a hurry.

Wang Shuo is an old acquaintance of hers, and Ye Daying is also on good terms, so it is not surprising to find them.

But Xu Cainv overlooked one thing, Ye Daying and Mei Ting have a "good" relationship, while Mei Ting and Hu Jing are best friends.

The two are now as close as Zeng Li and Yuan Quan. There is also Zhang Tong, who is also from the East Palace Party, but she and Zeng Li can also talk.

Anyway, the relationship between them in the dormitory is very chaotic now, even Cao Xuan is dizzy looking at it, except for a few, others are not sure whether it is a real relationship or a plastic sister.

However, Mei Ting was really looking for Hu Jing, and after dropping out of freshman year, Hu Jing was the only one she kept in touch with in the dormitory.

So when she heard the news, she immediately came to report it, and Ye Daying asked her to stop her.

"Meiting is a nice person, she can get along with her."

Cao Xuan boasted that since Ye Daying didn't take any action, the matter would be simpler.

On the bright side, behind Hu Jing, there are three dramas that are expected to hit the blockbuster, "Love Through Time and Space", "Wulin Outer History" and "Golden Fan Family".

Even if Wang Shuo reappears, he can't say that he will definitely produce a blockbuster film and television work, but he can be inserted into the crew of other directors.

But unless it's "Heroes", other crews in recent times can't resist the popularity of Hu Jing's three hit dramas.

But the question is whether Lao Mouzi sells Wang Shuo's face or not, even if he sells it, is Xu Talented Girl going to "Heroes" for Maggie Cheung or the international chapter?
With this absolute advantage in his hands, and Fengyun Studio as the mouthpiece of public opinion, Cao Xuan is actually not too afraid of Wang Shuo's methods.

Unless he went to a certain bureau to report these three dramas, they would all be banned, but Cao Xuan is not alone, if he plays this way, it may not be whoever gets out in the end.

After all, someone has a record of defeat in the United States...

The singer started the game, borrowing part of the settings from "Chicago 1990", which is still a scumbag novel by Neptune. The heroine tentatively chose a Zeng Li, and slept with a widow and rich woman...
