Chapter 186: There is still a long way to go
Xiao Fang's call is also for the Forbes celebrity list, on this year's list, there are two artists under Tiger Wolf on the list, although they can't be compared with big companies like Huayi Brothers and Orange Sky Entertainment, but for Tiger Wolf Film and Television, which has just started the brokerage business for only two years, it is already very good, especially He Mu's ranking is as high as twenty-one, leaving many first-line and quasi-first-line stars behind, which makes Xiao Fang feel that his face is bright. Although the ranking on the Forbes celebrity list is not a symbol of status, it can at least illustrate a trend, how can an actor like He Mu, who reached twenty-one on the list for the first time, be too bad in the future.
Xiao Fang and Datang have been analyzing this list for a long time, among the twenty people above He Mu, there are 4 athletes, 1 singer, 15 actors, including 9 actresses and 6 actors, these six people are Li Lianjie, Zhao Benshan, Guo Degang, Zhang Guoli, Huang Xiaoming and Ge Wei in order, except for Guo Degang and Huang Xiaoming are relatively young, the other four are seniors, He Mu and them are not comparable, and among Guo and Huang, Guo Degang is a cross talk actor, although he also strives to develop in the film and television industry, However, due to the limitations of his appearance, he and He Mu's acting path will not conflict, so only Huang Xiaoming is the object He Mu needs to catch up with.
Huang Xiaoming has developed rapidly in the past two years, and has starred in "The Condor Heroes", "The Legend of Deer and Ding", "New Shanghai Beach" and other big-budget TV series as the male lead, and the blockbuster "Night Banquet" as the second male lead.
Compared with He Mu, who has just broken into the entertainment industry, Huang Xiaoming has more connections and popularity. And he is also very humble and hard-working, but his acting skills are a major internal injury to him, although he is from a professional background. But he is often criticized for his wooden expression and poor acting skills, and He Mu is the opposite, although he has not undergone systematic performance learning, the general evaluation of him by the directors who have worked with him is that his performance is naturally spiritual, and he is a piece of jade, which is where He Mu is stronger than Huang Xiaoming.
Except for Huang Xiaoming, who is super popular among the younger generation. Chen Kun and Liu Ye will also be He Mu's main competitors, although He Mu is more than ten years younger than them, his momentum is so fierce. As his status and influence get higher and higher, sooner or later he will be compared with them, in addition to these people, Tong Dawei and Deng Chao, who have recently begun to exert their strength, also have great potential. Elephant in the room.
Datang Xiaofang analyzed so much. helped He Mu set up a number of competitors, this is not making enemies, but just making He Mu realize that if he wants to become the number one male actor in the mainland, even if he doesn't count those old guys, he still has a long way to go, because there are many people staring at the position of the first brother in the mainland, and each of them is not a good stubble. And they're all working hard, so. Facing the high ranking on the celebrity list, He Mu must not be fluttering and continue to be down-to-earth, so as not to fall down.
Xiao Fang made this phone call to this point, at the beginning he congratulated He Mu on the celebrity list, and it was a blockbuster, I believe that after tomorrow, more media will analyze this year's celebrity list, and He Mu will definitely be the one who pays the most attention. then told him to film seriously, don't float, and don't be too arrogant in the face of interviews with reporters, the high ranking on the celebrity list doesn't mean anything, when can your main movie easily break 100 million, then it can truly reflect a person's status in this circle.
In fact, there is no need for Xiao Fang to ask, He Mu is not the kind of person who flutters with a little achievement, not to mention that he doesn't feel that he has any outstanding achievements in the past 07 years, except for a "Flight Attendant" starring him, the rest are basically involved as a supporting role, he is just stained with the light of blockbusters such as "Red Cliff" and "Painted Skin", and his first absolutely starring movie "One Shot 147" did not arouse the enthusiasm of the media, so He Mu gave himself the status of "a rising celebrity in the film and television industry", If there is any great status, even he himself will laugh, he still needs more and better works to make himself have such a status, which he is very sober.
Listening to Xiao Fang's nagging and chattering, He Mu listened patiently, this kind of brother's care He Mu can rarely even get from He Zao, because he is not a person who is good at expressing his feelings, so Xiao Fang's words made He Mu's heart warm, after listening to him, He Mu asked the income on the list if it was unreliable, how did he feel as if he didn't have much money in his hands, did he even include the endorsement fee of Hengshui Lao Baigan and the salary of "Zhenbao" that have not yet arrived this year.
Xiao Fang explained with what he knew about He Mu: "The Forbes China Celebrity List in 08 is based on factors such as the income and exposure of celebrities in 07, and the income includes remuneration, performance fees, endorsement fees, etc., excluding the operating income of personal investment, so your Tiandi Media income is not included, otherwise it is not difficult for you to rush into the top ten, these incomes refer to pre-tax income, and it is the income before sharing with the brokerage company, not the most pure income, although 9.5 million is slightly higher, but it is actually about the same, You can do the math yourself. ”
He Mu really counted with his fingers, not counting Lao Baigan's endorsement fee and the salary of "True Treasure", he filmed two TV series "Liao Zhaiqi Women's Xin Fourteen Niang" and "Chang'an Chaos" in 07, the salary was 10 and 1 million respectively, so the TV series income was 1.1 million, and the movie made three "Red Cliff", "One Shot 147" and "Painted Skin", the salary was 100,000, 800,000 and 450,000 respectively, and the film income was 1.35 million.
The bulk should be the endorsement fee, including Nanfu Battery, Four Seasons Muge Solar, and Xiao Carrot Juice, seven endorsements have brought him an income of 6.5 million, and the three parts of product endorsements, movies, and TV series add up to nearly 9 million.
In addition, He Mu basically doesn't participate in those commercial performances and activities, and not being able to sing is the main reason, and he also hopes that he will focus more on acting, so He Mu basically has no income in this part, but there will be some appearance fees for participating in some TV shows, which add up to 200,000, so the data given by Forbes is slightly higher than the real situation, but this is also normal, endorsement fees and remuneration are trade secrets, and they are generally not announced to the public. Methods such as estimation to give a data that is not much different from the real situation are already considered to be means.
He Mu also had another question, "Behind me is Dawn, why didn't you see Andy Lau and Cheng Long?" ”
"It seems that Forbes only counts mainland celebrities, including celebrities born in the mainland, and Liming went to Hong Kong from the mainland, so it should be included for this reason." Xiao Fang said.
He Mu basically has no other problems, Xiao Fang gave the phone to Datang next to him, and Datang arranged several promotions for "Chang'an Chaos" for him in addition to filming, as well as some training in music singing, and Xiao's advertisements were also very urgent, these arrangements almost squeezed out He Mu's rest time.
After eating a boxed lunch at noon, filming continued, and today's cameo in the crew is Li Baotian, the actor of classic roles such as Liu Luoguo and Xilaile, Mr. Li is a well-known "drama bully", and the requirements for acting are not generally strict, and young actors and him will generally not be able to get off the stage, but today's director is Guo Baochang, and the old partner Wang Gang and the new generation of Li Luliang He Mu, who is known for his acting skills, naturally converged a lot.
Mr. Li plays a rural farmer who goes to the city to sell treasures, and then meets Zhuang Han, a pawnshop boy who has just become acquainted, and Cheng Datou, the owner of a small real estate company, and then unfolds a plot. This is a cameo role, Li Baotian can agree to play in addition to responding to the call from above, another important reason is that the crew agreed to arrange a role for his son Li Yu, although there is a famous actor father, but Li Yu, who has no appearance and no luck, is not satisfactory in the circle, pity the parents of the world, Director Guo arranged a more important tomb robber role for Li Yu.
Now the popularity of the Olympics has come up, He Mu promised that the Olympic version of the advertising film has not been filmed, Du Wen is very anxious, and directly came to the capital with a check of 800,000 yuan, now He Mu is not ordinary, and he is also on Forbes, and the ranking is so high, the last two advertisements were 800,000, this time Du Wen gave the price of an advertisement of 800,000, the film crew has been arranged, just waiting for He Mu, the spokesperson, he slapped the check on the Datang table and let him watch it.
Datang had no choice but to cancel the "rest for one night" promised to He Mu, and came over first to finish filming the advertisement. The name of Xi Ao is too good, Xi Ao Xi Ao, celebrate the Olympics, how to make this advertisement smooth, and it is easy to remember, this version of the advertisement Du Wen plans to spend a lot of money to promote, must use He Mu's fame, take advantage of the opportunity of the Olympics to completely start the brand of Xi Ao.
In the days after the announcement of the Forbes China Celebrity List in 08, there was a lot of discussion about this list, the name "Forbes" can be seen everywhere in newspapers, TV news, and the Internet, some people discuss Yao Ming's annual income of up to 300 million, and some people lament that Liu Xiang's income has surged to 160 million, and I am afraid that the most mentioned is He Mu, a newcomer who killed 21 high-ranking acting artists on the list for the first time.
Some people suspect that He Mu's income is inflated, some people question that He Mu's exposure is operated by the company, and some people are studying and discussing his road to fame, and how he grew from a trickster actor to a popular idol in the mainland today.
In short, there are negative voices, but more is the recognition of him, after all, He Mu has gone all the way, his achievements are obvious to all, his efforts and strength are also visible to everyone, the Golden Horse's trophies and super high TV ratings are real, and how can some doubts be erased, no matter what others say, He Mu's popularity is a foregone conclusion, and no one can change it, the only thing that will change is whether he can be so popular in the future, and whether he can still be so proud of the celebrity list in the future...... (To be continued......)
