Huayu started from the fairy sword

Chapter 69 Enter the Forbes Celebrity List!

On February 2005, 2, the Chinese version of "Forbes" magazine held a press conference at the Oriental Plaza in Beijing to announce the latest "Hua Guo Forbes Celebrity List". Yao Ming ranked first with an income of 14 million.

In the international chapter, he took the second place with a strong posture, while Liu Xiang unexpectedly soared to the third place by virtue of his performance in the Athens Olympic Games.

Ranked 4th on the list is a well-known and popular actress, who was later harmonized by the whole network, and Barbie Q.

After the first day of the Chinese music scene, Huang Fei, with an income of 2200 million, ranked No. 5 on the list with the No. [-] search on the entire network.

It is worth mentioning that the Forbes Celebrity List is all celebrities in the entertainment and sports circles in the Mainland, excluding celebrities from Hong Kong and Taiwan.

The ranking considers data such as celebrities' income, TV exposure, newspaper coverage, magazine covers, and Internet searches in 2004.

The 6th to 10th are Zhang Yimou, Zou Xun, Sun Nan, Liu Jialing, and Fan Bingbing.

The popular young student Lu Yi ranked 11th, Gong Li ranked 12th, Cao Jun’s eldest brother Dao Lang ranked 13th, and Dao Lang’s good brother Cao Jun followed closely, ranking 14th on the celebrity list bit.

Naying, who was ranked 2004th on the Forbes list in 16, was unexpectedly pregnant with Gao Feng's child, and almost did not participate in any performances in 2004, resulting in no name on the list.

Na Ying's most outstanding achievement in 2004 was to criticize Dao Lang together with Yang Kun, Wang Feng and others.

And Dao Lang only ranked 13th on the list because he was too low-key in 2004 and only participated in one public event, which was the premiere of the movie "House of Flying Daggers" with Cao Jun.

The reason why Cao Jun can be ranked 14th is not because of lace news, let alone spending money to buy the list, but like Dao Lang, because of his strong works.

First of all, the album "Fairy Tale" released by Cao Jun in 2004 not only sold more than 60 copies, but his two songs "Fairy Tale" and "Father" became popular all over the country.

In addition, Cao Jun's participation in "The Legend of Condor Heroes", a Jin Yong remake, also gained great attention for him.

In terms of income, Forbes thinks he earned 800 million. In fact, he only earned about 2004 million in 500, which is still different from the actual situation.

However, because Cao Jun's song ringtone income and record income are delayed, in fact, the calculation is not too different.

As for Yang Chenggang, an Internet celebrity singer who earned 1.7 million from a single song, he ranked 123th on the Forbes list with an income of 99 million.

Earn 1.7 million for a song?It doesn’t exist. Daolang’s "The First Snow in 2002" sold millions of copies in one record, and three songs became popular. Coupled with the considerable revenue from mobile phone ring tones, it only earned 1200 million yuan. about.

As for song copyright, there is no such thing as song copyright these days!Not to mention the fact that pirated copies are flying all over the market, talent shows can cover any song without paying any copyright fees.

Wang Rong, another Internet celebrity singer, earned 280 million yuan through frequent commercial performances and commercial endorsements with the hit song "I'm Not Huang Rong", ranking 77th on the Forbes Celebrity List.

And Liu Qianqian, Cao Jun's partner, also ranked 430th in Huaguo Forbes Celebrities with an income of 58 million.

Of course, the ranking and various data of this Forbes Celebrity List are not completely accurate, but are only used as a reference.

Like Zhang Jizhong, the producer of the show "The Legend of Condor Heroes", his annual income in the Forbes Celebrity List is only a mere 220 million.

In fact, in addition to the 200 million salary as the producer of "The Legend of Condor Heroes", Zhang Jizhong must have a lot of gray income, which are figures that outsiders cannot know.

All in all, once the Forbes Celebrity List was released, it caused a huge sensation. Both inside the entertainment industry and the people who don't know what to do, they all talk about this list.

The main creative staff of "The Legend of Condor Heroes", and even a group of low-level extras, are discussing Cao Jun and Liu Qianqian's amazing income in private.

"I know that celebrities make a lot of money, but I really don't know that they make so much money!"

"That's right, Cao Jun earns 800 million a year, and we can't earn so much money if we play tricks for a few lifetimes..."

"Rare and strange, do you know how popular Brother Jun's "Fairy Tale" is? The money he makes from this song is enough for us to live without food or drink for several lifetimes!"

"That's right. Do you know how hard our brother Jun is working? You know that you are making sarcastic remarks here. If you have the ability, you should write "Fairy Tale"!"

"I just don't have the conditions in my family. If I have a background and connections, maybe I'm more popular than him!"

"Eat shit! Don't pee and look in the mirror!"

"..."

Everyone talked a lot, Zhang Jizhong and Yu Min were also happy when they saw Cao Jun. Now when they saw Cao Jun, it was like seeing a walking 800 million bill.

At first, Zhang Jizhong thought that Cao Jun spent 150 million to buy the role of Yang Guo in "The Legend of Condor Heroes" with himself, and he had already exhausted all his savings.

It wasn't until Forbes' 2005 Huaguo Celebrity List came out that Zhang Jizhong realized that he had completely underestimated Cao Jun's real financial resources.

The more Zhang Jizhong thought about it, the more something went wrong, which made Zhang Jizhong start to feel a little bit bitter about Cao Jun. He always felt that he, an honest man, was being fooled by Cao Jun who was hiding his secrets.

night.

Zhang Jizhong asked Cao Jun to come to the room for a drink, drinking 52-degree Moutai, and wanted to find out his tone, so he asked Cao Jun through his drink: "Xiao Cao, did you really earn 800 million last year?"

Cao Jun is already a little drunk, but his mind is clear. He knows that wealth should not be exposed too much, and he must not be too arrogant, especially in front of Zhang Ji.

If Cao Jun admits that he earned 800 million yuan, then it would be extremely hypocritical to lie to him that he went bankrupt.

Thinking of this, Cao Jun replied: "How is it possible, director, don't believe that Forbes Celebrity List, it's a fucking lie!"

"I'm not going to talk about anything else, just say that in the second half of last year, I was filming on the set every day. Don't you know better than anyone else how much money I can make from a movie?"

Zhang Jizhong pondered for a while, and it seemed that what Cao Jun said was not unreasonable, but he still had doubts, and then asked: "I know your acting salary, but you are very popular in singing. 30?"

Cao Junxin said, Ma De, the rumors are really illogical, no matter how you say it, people will believe it, and then he said dumbfoundingly: "How is it possible, before I went to the Spring Festival Gala, a performance was at most about 10 yuan, and sometimes it didn't. Our record company I still have to draw..."

Under Cao Jun's patient explanation, Zhang Jizhong's mood gradually calmed down a lot.

Although the movie "The Legend of Condor Heroes" is about to wrap up, everyone in the crew now thinks that Cao Jun is a multi-millionaire earning 800 million a year.

Even Liu Qianqian's mother, Liu Xiaoli, after learning that Cao Jun earns 800 million a year, has a little more affection for Cao Jun, a young and promising handsome guy.

Liu Xiaoli originally thought that an actor like Cao Jun had a good-looking face and had no other skills. Only now did she realize that Cao Jun is not only handsome, but also good at making money.

At least among the younger generation, Cao Jun is definitely the best.

Liu Qianqian looked at Cao Jun, but nothing changed. She was still the same as before, calling Cao Jun "Brother Cao Jun", which didn't make people feel tired.

In contrast, Yang Mi's attitude towards Cao Jun is extraordinarily enthusiastic. She said "big brother" on the left and "big brother" on the right. Although she is young, she is capable of flirting.

When chatting with Cao Jun, Yang Mi would take the initiative to lean against Cao Jun, pretending to be casual, and put her chest against his back or elbow.

Cao Jun didn't want the rest of the crew to misunderstand, especially Liu Qianqian, so Cao Jun avoided Yang Mi when he was on the crew.

As a result, after the play, Yang Mi went directly to Cao Jun's room to find Cao Jun, and discussed the script with Cao Jun in the room.

The two of them are really talking about the script. The three words about the script mean that they are talking about the script. It is really not a subtext, because the two of them still have a lot of rivalry in the play.
