Chapter 80: Trouble
Following the rankings, Lin Yuquan quickly saw his ranking, 25th, Chen Daoming and Han Hong before and after him.
For this ranking, he is not surprised, the popularity of "Huo Yuanjia" in recent months is obvious to all, and his own topics have repeatedly occupied the front page headlines of media reports, if it weren't for the fact that his rise was too short, almost no exposure before October, his ranking is definitely not the current position.
Then Lin Yuquan saw his income, although from Liu Yifei he already knew his approximate income on the "Forbes China Celebrity List", but hearing and seeing are two different things, especially after comparing with others, he felt even more excited in his heart.
At the same time, he also has a lot of emotion, unconsciously, he has trampled on all the celebrities and big names that he could only look up to in the past, and realized the scene of "being at the top of the mountain and seeing the mountains at a glance" that can only appear in a dream.
While that's just in terms of income, he definitely has reason to be proud and contented.
After the excitement, Lin Yuquan also knew that he was going to be in trouble, with an income of 563 million, and an income of nearly 600 million yuan left Yao Ming, who ranked second and third on the list, and the Women's Twelve Orchestra Fang far behind.
It's no wonder that when I watched the report last year, many celebrities were flashing about their income, and even lashed out at Forbes, and now he finally understands the distress.
Just when Lin Yuquan was secretly distressed, with the release of the "Forbes China Celebrity List", the outside world became lively.
Compared with the first "Forbes China Celebrity List" launched by Forbes in March last year, the overall position of the top ten this year has not changed much, Yao Ming and Zhang Ziyi continue to rank in the top two, but Liu Xiang, Liu Jialing, Fan Binbin squeezed out the original Gong Li, Liming, Li Lianjie, among which Liu Xiang, who won the 110-meter hurdles in the 04 Olympic Games, unexpectedly soared to third.
Such a ranking can undoubtedly add a lot of talking points to the public, but for media reporters, the result is not too surprising, and this also means that when it comes to reporting, there are not many exciting places, except for reprinting the list and slightly analyzing the top ten, they have too little room to play, which is not a good thing for the media.
With this disappointment, the media reporter's eyes continued to browse the ranking towards the 10th place, and soon stopped at the 25th place, and after experiencing the initial shock and inexplicability, the media reporter's eyes turned green and began to become extremely excited.
turned out to be Lin Yuquan, of course Lin Yuquan's inclusion on the list is not surprising, facing the public opinion boom set off by "Huo Yuanjia" and Lin Yuquan in recent months, it is strange that he is not on the list.
But on the list, Lin Yuquan's income is too scary, 565 million, nearly 600 million income.
If it weren't for the well-known authority of Forbes, well-informed media reporters would not have believed the number they saw in front of their eyes, but it was precisely because they were well-informed that they knew how terrible it was.
How terrible is 565 million, on this year's Forbes China Celebrity List, Yao Ming, who has the second highest income, is only 150 million, and the 12 women's 12 orchestra that is popular in Japan and has as many as 12 members is only 100 million.
Take a look at these twenty-four artists! Yao Ming, Women's Twelve Orchestra, Liu Jialing, Zhang Ziyi, Liu Xiang, Wang Fei, Gong Li, Chen Daoming, Sun Nan, Zhao Wei, Lu Yi, Liu Ye, Xu Jinglei, any of them are the most popular star artists at the moment, but from the perspective of income, Lin Yuquan alone compared them all, how is this not shocking.
Last year, Jet Li's 140 million income and Yao Ming's 120 million income had a huge impact on the general public, and the sensation caused by Lin Yuquan's income this time can be imagined how amazing it will be.
Due to last year's income questioning turmoil, the public's focus this time did not focus on whether Lin Yuquan has such a high income, but questioned why Lin Yuquan's ranking was so low.
In fact, last year, Li Lianjie's first income of 140 million was only ranked tenth, which has caused controversy, not to mention that Lin Yuquan is now far ahead of the income.
The response of the Forbes spokesman to this is that Lin Yuquan's exposure rate has lowered his ranking, and the number jΓΉ shows that Lin Yuquan's exposure mainly began in the second half of the year, and under the excellent results of "Huo Yuanjia", newspaper reports and Internet search rankings are relatively high, but in the TV exposure that occupies a great weight in the exposure, Lin Yuquan has never been on a TV interview or any variety show, making his TV exposure ranking in the bottom few of the 100 people, and only ranked 25th after comprehensive.
The Forbes spokesman's answer was naturally impeccable and reasonable, and after the response, no one continued to dwell on the issue, but as Lin Yuquan thought, both the public and media reporters were extremely curious about how he made his fortune.
As for "Huo Yuanjia", which brought Lin Yuquan such a huge fortune, countless film and television lovers who did not enter the cinema to watch the movie began to run to the official website of Shuguang Film Company to inquire when its audio-visual products would be launched.
Lin Yuquan didn't have time to pay attention to these, since the wealth of the "Forbes China Celebrity List" was exposed, he hardly had a moment of peace in the past two days, his parents, relatives, friends, classmates, everyone called to confirm or congratulate him, which made him annoyed.
"If the wind stops, how will the clouds fly, if you leave, how will I sleep, if your heart is broken, how will you compensate, if you are just a playful butterfly, who are you thinking about when it gets dark?"
Sighing, Lin Yu picked up the phone with a sad face, glanced at the caller ID, then pressed the answer button, and said helplessly: "Sister Chang, did you also call me to congratulate me?" β
"Boss, I know you must have been very annoying for the past two days, why did you come to join in the fun? As a qualified broker, I still have this bit of eyesight. Chang Jihong smiled, and her mood seemed quite good, maybe for Lin Yuquan, the current thing is very distressing, but as an agent, she is most happy that her artist has popularity and topics, and her net worth is not a bad thing, but she can benefit a lot from this topic exposure, which is not a bad thing.
And in addition to Lin Yuquan's ranking of 25th, Xu Jinglei, Liu Ye, Liu Yifei, and Jiang Wenli in the Yuquan family were also on the 2005 "Forbes China Celebrity List", and the highest ranking among the four was Liu Ye's 20th, followed by Xu Jinglei's 22nd, Jiang Wenli's 54th, and Liu Yifei's 59th, and the results of the 5 people on the list were second only to Huayi Brothers in China.
Although such achievements were achieved by Xu Jinglei, Liu Ye and others before joining the Yuquan family, it is very happy for any agent to have such a popular artist.
"Oh, no, I've been so annoyed for the past two days." Lin Yuquan suddenly perked up, and said in a brisk voice, this is the first time he has answered the phone in the past two days!
"Is there something I need to deal with from the brokerage company?"
Compared to being congratulated, even the boring work seems to have become cute.
"No, this time it's a good thing about yourself, I bet, you can't guess." Chang Jihong smiled mysteriously and did not continue.
"Really? Sister Chang is so confident that I can't guess, then I really have to guess carefully, and I can't let you underestimate me by saying anything. Lin Yuquan chuckled interestingly, and then began to ponder, since it was related to himself, and Chang Jihong called him, it was obviously related to the brokerage company, but it was not the routine work of the brokerage company that needed to be handled by himself.
Obviously, the good things Chang Jihong said were not aimed at the identity of his boss, thinking of this, his thinking gradually became clearer.
It has nothing to do with the identity of the boss, it can only be your own personal identity, director, actor, screenwriter or action director.
If someone wants to cooperate with him in film and television dramas, he will not find a brokerage company anyway, and then Chang Jihong will convey it, and Chang Jihong should also know his own temperament, and will not say that attending events, variety shows, and media interviews is a good thing.
In this way, there is only one possibility, and if this is the case, it is a blessing to the actors, after all, it is usually impossible for a pure director to have such an opportunity to find him.
"If I guessed correctly, it should be an advertising endorsement, how about it, I guessed it right, I said don't underestimate me." The corners of Lin Yuquan's mouth twitched up slightly, and he said proudly.
"You can guess that." Chang Jihong was stunned, and then asked, "Then you might as well guess what kind of advertisement it is?" β
"Don't guess, I'm not a god, how can I even guess that, I only know, after learning that I am worth a lot of money, there should be no small business will come to ask me to endorse, and look at your actions of knowing that I am irritable, and calling me to say good news, the cost of this advertising endorsement must be not small." Lin Yuquan laughed to himself, not because he was happy about the expensive advertising costs, but because he was invited to advertise for the first time in his life, he couldn't help but feel happy.
"Bingo, it's really a big advertising contract, $3 million for 2 years, and Pepsi wants you to be their global advertising spokesperson." Chang Jihong said with a little excitement.
When she first answered the phone, she was shocked, it was Pepsi, a Fortune 500 company!
And the other party quoted such a high price as soon as he opened his mouth, equivalent to 13 million yuan per year, which is definitely the treatment that only the top performing arts stars in China can enjoy.
If she hadn't come to Shuguang, with the situation of Sun Li, Jiang Wenli, and Liu Ye, she who stayed in Haiyu Film and Television might not have encountered such a big endorsement contract in her life.
