China Entertainment 1997.

Beijing, the airport

Da Mimi, who had just returned from Seoul by plane, walked out of the airport exit with her assistant and bodyguard, and was immediately dominated by a group of fans.

"Mimi, I love you."

"Miss Mi, you are amazing."

""Now You See Me" is really good, you have to work hard."

"Yang Mi flies with confidence, and the bees will always follow her."

"..."

Under the protection of assistants and security personnel, Da Mimi waved to the fans. After causing a lot of noise, she quickly left the airport and went to the parking lot to get on the commercial vehicle that picked her up.

Manager Liu Rui was already waiting for her in the car, and handed her a hand-held fan.

"It's hot outside."

"It's okay at the airport, but a little bit out of the airport."

Da Mimi blew on the fan, looked at the fans gathered at the gate of the airport who were about to leave, and couldn't help asking.

"Sister, what did you do?"

"When did our company do this?"

Liu Rui waved her hand: "Your whereabouts in South Korea have been leaked, and someone among the fans organized a pick-up."

In principle, Fanxing does not encourage fans to pick up the plane. After all, apart from sending a few drafts, it is of no great use, and it is likely to cause dissatisfaction among other passengers and cause bad reputation.

So unless there are some special circumstances, Fanxing will not deliberately organize similar activities, and even sometimes fans spontaneously, the management team will stop them.

Like these celebrity fan groups and big fans, they all have a deep connection with the artist management team, and are even directly controlled by the team or the company.

Some small artists do not have a team, and even go off to maintain fan clubs and big fans in person.

It is also understandable that these little famous fans may only have a few hundred fans who are willing to join the group, which is not even as good as some web writers.

For example, a certain fat, the peak book friend group has nearly 2000 people, which is better than many online talent show dudes...

However, the book friend group is generally scolding the author and urging updates, most of the star fan group is rainbow fart, the brother is so handsome, and the treatment is heaven and earth.

Fanxing is considered to be the first company in the mainland to systematically manage and restrict the fans of artists. Although it can't be said that it has a firm control, it can at least grasp the information on any major movements of fans.

Like today, hundreds of fans from the capital came to the airport to pick them up, and they definitely couldn't hide it from the management team.

However, Liu Rui considered that Da Mimi "returned with a reputation", so she deliberately went along with the flow and made some arrangements, which also made Da Mimi's return this time a little more grand.

Asian superstar, the king is back!
This is also what Liu Rui has been marketing these days. In "Taken", Liu Tianxian was just a vase, and the team and the company emphasized that she would enter Hollywood and raise her international profile.

And now "Now Now You See Me", the North American box office is almost double that of "Taken" at that time, how could Liu Rui miss this good opportunity.

It doesn't matter even if it's the second female lead, the international chapter is not the heroine in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", so she still has an international name.

Liu Rui is still taking it easy, just calling out the slogan "Asian Superstar", if it were someone else, they might start calling him an international honey.

It's hard to say whether the marketing of Damimi, the "Asian superstar", has the meaning of "paying tribute" to Liu Tianxian who reached the top of Asia two months ago.

There is one thing to say, although "Now Now You See Me" has a good box office in North America, but the limelight mainly revolves around Cao Xuan. Famous actors in Europe and the United States like Captain America and Juan Fu may not have a good role in the show, but the gain is definitely better than the big honey. powerful.

Da Mimi counts on this role to open up the situation in one fell swoop, so she doesn't need to think about becoming a big hit in Hollywood.

But it is also considered familiar, and with some fame foundation, she will also have the opportunity to share a share of the resources of Hollywood Asian actresses in the future.

Although this kind of opportunity is rare, it is also a qualification that countless Asian actresses can't get without breaking their heads.

Of course, for Da Mimi personally, what is more important is not for her to fight for opportunities, and she can't get any opportunities.

The point is that she has a foundation of popularity in Europe and the United States, and she has a part in Fanxing's follow-up Hollywood strategy. If there are any projects in China, her advantages are far higher than others.

Compared with Europe and the United States, which only laid the foundation, in Asia, Damimi has benefited the most.

After "Now Now You See Me" was released simultaneously in Asia, it achieved good results in various countries.

As of nearly two weeks after its release, South Korea's box office has exceeded 1200 million US dollars, Thailand, Singapore, and the United Arab Emirates each have about 250 million US dollars, and Malaysia, the Philippines and other places have between 40 and 100 million US dollars.

The biggest box office is Japan, where Cao Xuan led a team to personally go to the big box office, and won 2700 million U.S. dollars in the past two weeks.

This movie and "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows", "Transformers 3" and "Pirates of the Caribbean" turned the entire Japanese summer vacation upside down.

According to existing data and trend forecasts, "Now Now You See Me" is expected to reach a box office of about 5000-6000 million US dollars in Japan, ranking only behind North America and China.

The total box office in Asia excluding China is expected to reach US$8500-9500 million in the end.

The box office of this volume can also imagine the popularity of "Now You See Me" in Asia.

What's more, "Now Now You See Me" is popular in North America, which is equivalent to a Hollywood blockbuster. In many countries, it has a special filter halo bonus.

In the past few years, Da Mi Mi has had a number of popular TV series going overseas, and I am quite famous in Japan, South Korea, Singapore and other places.

Now being urged by "You Now You See Me", Da Mimi's popularity has exploded.

Before that, she went to Seoul, South Korea to do publicity, which caused a little sensation in South Korea. The Korean media called her "China's Most Popular Actress", "Hollywood International Star", and "Asian Superstar".

Although these titles may be somewhat exaggerated, the influence of Da Mimi can be seen.

It's impossible for Liu Rui to miss the rare opportunity to be in the top position, and she keeps building momentum for Da Mimi, and as the performance of "You Now You See Me" continues to rise, her momentum is becoming more and more recognized.

On the speeding business car, Liu Rui held a folder and kept explaining to Da Mi Mi the work during this period.

"We have already found several endorsements, including several big brands, such as Estee Lauder (cosmetics) and Michael Kors (leather bags). Now we are evaluating and trying to get you a big contract."

"There is an event in Hangzhou that I want you to attend. We asked about it. It is a company cooperated with Ali. There is no problem with the positioning of the event, and the price is not bad, 150 million in three days."

"Also, Guang Guang is going to make a movie series of "Four Famous Shops". Deng Chao is leading the film and wants to find you as the heroine. I asked about it, and Liu Yifei was approached there, but was rejected."

Da Mimi, who was listening quietly, stopped when she heard Liu Tianxian's three words: "How much do they pay her?"

"It is said that there are three film contracts, with a total of 2800 million, and some other terms, but I didn't ask in detail."

"How much light should I turn on?"

"The three plays are 1400 million."

Da Mimi smiled: "It's exactly half of it."

Liu Rui was also a little unhappy, and complained about Guangguang's bid: "This price is taking us for granted. With your current momentum, don't even think about it if it is less than 500 million.

And it's impossible to sign three films at once. Who knows how much your worth will rise in a few years, Boss Wang's calculations are too smart. "

"Sister Rui, do you think my salary can be equal to that of Liu's?"

Da Mimi was dissatisfied with the huge pay gap between the two, and asked with a frown, Liu Rui couldn't help shaking her head.

"Difficult."

Then, Liu Rui gave Da Mimi the calculation with her fingers. She was the one who brought out Da Mimi with one hand.

"Although "Now Now You See Me" has a high box office and is a global hit, but it is my brother-in-law (Cao Xuan), in the eyes of outsiders, you are lucky. Although your popularity has increased and you have to pay more, but it is not would be outrageous.

Liu Yifei is different. Although you don't like to hear this, she is indeed unique in popularity and popularity. Many film studios value her influence and are willing to spend money. This is one of them.

Second, she has participated in "Taken", although the box office is not as strong as "Now You See Me", but it is not bad. To put it bluntly, she is also the heroine of Hollywood movies.

Third, participating in many big productions, especially "Three Kingdoms: Guandu", the reputation is bad, but the cost and box office are here, and at this time she was given a salary comparable to those of those big stars, and established her status .

Let me ask you, how many of the new generation can act as the heroine in hundreds of millions of big productions, either relying on men or going through the back door, only Liu Yifei can rise to the top by popularity and popularity,

What's more important is the current "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years", which alone carries 3 million+, not to mention the new generation, how many of those big flowers can compare..."

Da Mimi listened with a dignified expression.

Fortunately, she also has a chance to catch up, but the popularity, popularity and box office alone of this unique one is really too difficult.

It is almost impossible for the former to be Liu Tianxian's biggest advantage. If she can surpass it, this battle will not have to be fought.

The latter is very particular about luck, Liu Tianxian is not as popular as Mr. Zhou and Fan Xiaopang, and even the appeal of the movie is much lower, but it just made her meet a blockbuster.

No matter how many unexpected elements there are in this, at least many filmmakers are willing to spend money on Liu Tianxian's gamble.

"Don't put too much pressure on you. You did a good job this time. You have your advantages. I guess there are also worries over there."

Liu Rui said a few words of consolation, even if she was not as good as Liu Tianxian for the time being, the volume of "You Now You See Me" is here, Da Mimi is now gaining momentum, and she has a heart to heart, she does not believe that Liu Tianxian can take it lightly.

Well, I can't sleep at night now!

"What do you think of "Four Famous Catchers", the salary and contract can be negotiated, I think the cast is not bad."

Da Mimi is not very interested in this movie, but it is not considered repulsive: "Let's get in touch with it, and go back and evaluate the script."

"Do you still miss that "Super Body"?"

Liu Rui frowned, many secrets in the entertainment industry cannot be hidden, not to mention they are inside Fanxing
Cao Xuan has a female sci-fi action movie "Super Body" in his hand, with an estimated investment of 1.8 million, and he is waiting for an opportunity to plot the North American market.

This sweet pastry instantly aroused the coveting of the stars and actresses.

The outside world also knows some rumors, although some specific information is not clear, but the investment of nearly 2 million, plotting the North American market, and the heroine is enough to make everyone crazy.

But Fan Xing is also very clear, people outside don't have to think about it, they must be flattering their own family.

Even Fan Xiaopang, the first sister of Fanxing who will leave next year, is also out.

Cao Xuan helped her join Marvel, and Fan Xing, as an investor, helped her squeeze out Shu Dazui, and won the heroine of Master Xing's movie "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons".

Not to mention being benevolent and righteous, but absolutely not treating the other party badly, and there are still opportunities for cooperation in the future.

But the project "Super Body" must be chosen among the two pillars of Fanxing Future.

Cao Xuan is inclined towards Liu Tianxian, and some executives of the company and several persons in charge of this project are also more optimistic about her. Although they are not completely sure, they are basically close to each other.

Even Hu Jing acquiesced to this point, implying that Da Mimi rested her mind and stopped thinking about it.

But Da Mimi didn't give up: "Until the last moment, who knows if there will be a turning point."

"whatever."

Liu Rui couldn't persuade the big honey when she got up: "I'll go back to Sister Jing and think about it. In addition, you can't put all your eggs in one basket. Let's prepare with both hands. Let's put "Four Famous Catchers" aside. The company has a love drama Not bad, you look back."

"I listen to you, sister."

Most of the big honeys still listened to Liu Rui's persuasion, and then talked about their work for the second half of the year.

Liu Tianxian shouted that he wanted to be the king of the film, but in fact he had been waiting for "Taken 2" and the subsequent "Super Body" without any other real actions.

If you have a job, you can work, if you don't have a job, you can study fitness, or find your girlfriends to play.

On the contrary, it is Da Mimi, she is really hot.

Leaving aside the "Four Famous Detectives" and the romantic movie discussed above, the movies she has already accepted include Ning Hao's new work "The Golden Heist" and "The Frontier" starring Sun Honglei.

When the publicity mission of "Now You See Me" is over, they have to rush to shoot without stopping, and it is estimated that they will be able to shoot until before the Spring Festival.

It is estimated that the shooting of a new movie will start after the new year. Not to mention non-stop 360 days a year, but the schedule is definitely full, and there is not much time for rest.

So much so that Liu Rui, the manager, is pleased with Da Mimi's hard work, but sometimes feels sorry for her for pushing herself too hard.

"The publicity will start tomorrow night, and I will go to Shanghai in the afternoon the day after tomorrow. You have more than a day, so take some time to rest."

Liu Rui persuaded her a few words, but Da Mimi didn't insist. She was indeed a little tired after flying around the world some time ago and being stimulated by all kinds of news.

"I'll go back and see my parents come to my house to get together at night. We haven't had dinner together for a long time."

"Okay, I'll call Liying, she happens to be filming in the capital."

Liu Rui sent Da Mimi home, and then left. Da Mimi talked with her parents, took a nap, and woke up refreshed at night, said hello to her parents, and drove to the not far in a villa area.

In the past two years, Big Mimi has made a lot of money. She is a person with a sense of crisis, and she is keen on managing money to increase the value of her money.

For this reason, she had the cheek to ask Cao Xuan, who is known as an investment master, for advice.

Boss Cao asked her some common sense about financial investment, and then decisively threw the simplest secret to Da Mimi.

"Use half of it to buy a house."

Da Mimi is very obedient. She has been investing in real estate for the past two years and has made a lot of money, which made her more firm in Cao Xuan's suggestion.

At present, Da Mimi has more than a dozen properties in her hands, and there are two villas alone, one for her parents and one for herself.

However, she often goes out to film, and most of the time she lives in hotels a year. When she returns to Beijing, she often lives with her parents. Occasionally, she only goes to her villa when she gathers with friends.

In the evening, Liu Rui and Zhao Xiaodao also came to her house on time, and it was not the first time for them to come. They knew each other well, and set up a barbecue stall in the yard when they arrived at the villa.

Da Mimi also helped, and was busy hearing the doorbell ringing. When she opened the door, she saw a girl with exquisite eyebrows holding a box of beer and looking at her timidly.

"Miss Honey."

"Meat... Meaty, come in quickly."

Da Mimi was taken aback, and quickly recognized who this was, and let him in, while Liu Rui, who was busy making charcoal, smiled.

"I've been talking about introducing the two of you to each other, but this time I've seized the opportunity."

Coincidentally, it has been almost a year since Liu Rui signed Di Li Rouba, but the other party has never met Da Mi Mi.

Either Da Mimi was filming outside, or Di Li Rouba was studying in Shanghai, or last year's Fanxing annual meeting, both parties were present, but they still missed it for various reasons.

So much so that the two have been friends for a long time, and even interacted several times on Weibo, but today is the first time to meet in reality.

"Don't be cautious, we are all our own people, we will get to know each other a few more times in the future."

Da Mi Mi has the demeanor of a big sister, soothed her nervous flesh, and took the initiative to chat with her, bringing the distance between the two sides closer.

"School will start soon. It's a pity that you are applying for the Shanghai Opera, which is a bit far away from the capital. Otherwise, we can meet more."

"Sister Rui said that she will have some work next year, so she should come to the capital often."

"What play are you playing?"

"It's not a film and television work."

Da Mimi was curious, and Zhao Xiaodao, who was wearing a string next to her, explained: "It's some MV or commercials. The working hours are not long, and it doesn't delay her schooling. It can also let her get acquainted with related businesses."

Rouba starred in Cao Xuan's MV, and because of her pretty looks, she has accumulated a certain popularity and popularity, and is very popular with commercials and MV directors.

Liu Rui chose to pick up some, just like what Zhao Xiaodao said just now, these tasks will not delay the class, but also refresh your face, adapt to the working atmosphere, and the most important thing is to get money, so why not do it.

Di Li Rouba's background is too shallow now, and the roles she can play are too few, she can't afford to play the heroine, and sometimes it is not necessary to play a supporting role.

Anyway, there is no shortage of resources, so Liu Rui hopes that she will practice more and wait until her junior year before starting filming.

Of course, there are no absolutes, and good opportunities should not be missed. For example, CCTV has a major drama about ethnic minorities.

Although acting in a CCTV drama may not be popular, it has different meanings to artists.

If idol actors of later generations want to transform into a celebrity, they must make certain achievements in drama, otherwise, no matter how popular they are, they are just idols, not actors.

When Da Mimi first debuted, she played in the CCTV drama "Wang Zhaojun". Although the ratings were not high, it was her important resume, which represented CCTV's recognition of her.

So much so that even though Da Mi Mi has been tossing about in idol dramas, she can proudly say that my mother is from a drama when she scolds others.

If Dili Rouba's debut work is a CCTV drama, then the starting point is much better than the average person.

For example, Zhao Xiaodao is a little envious. Since her debut, she has acted in a lot of blockbusters, and has almost never touched a major drama. In the future, it will be more difficult to transform into a powerful group.

But she doesn't have to favor one over another, transformation or something will take a few years, and now she wants to strike while the iron is hot, and reap the TV resources left by Da Mimi and Liu Tianxian.

"Shan Shan is Coming"

"Gu Jian Qi Tan"

"Flower Thousand Bones"

Zhao Xiaodao's schedule is not much easier than Da Mimi's. She will become the third 85 flower after Liu Tianxian and Da Mimi.

However, things didn't go according to people's wishes, and Zhao Xiaodao was robbed of the limelight before he started to fully exert his strength.

At the beginning of September, "Scary Step by Step" was broadcast, and the girl who was ridiculed by countless people as the replacement version of Liu Tianxian seemed to become popular all over the country overnight.

Use a TV series to tell everyone that she is not Little Liu Tianxian, but Liu Shishi...
