Chapter 193: It's on

The newly released Forbes China Celebrity List naturally attracted widespread attention from the public. If Lin Yuquan occupied the top of the income list with an income of 577 million last year and brought everyone a great shock, this time it was not Yao Ming who occupied the top spot and an income of 170 million, not the top four supergirls on the list, not Chen Kaige who has been grinding a sword for many years and rushing into the top 10, nor the Internet singer Pang Long swooping up with an income of 18 million and squeezing into the 8th place in the income list, but Lin Yuquan, who had the first income last year, was only 80.5 million, which is really surprising. ++++

Compared with last year's 25th place, Lin Yuquan jumped to 2nd place this year, becoming the highest-ranked star in the entertainment industry, and was also awarded the most valuable "Forbes" Chinese version of the 2005 Star Award, but for these, no one feels anything wrong, after all, Lin Yuquan can be called the most popular star last year, he did not get such a ranking, it is inappropriate!

And if it weren't for the fact that he has always been low-key, far less than Yao Minggao in terms of TV exposure, even if he ranks first, no one will have any objections, you must know that Lin Yuquan is far ahead in Internet searches.

The problem is that Lin Yuquan's income is too low, yes, it's too low, maybe for ordinary stars, 80.5 million is a high number that can only be looked up to, like this year's only Yao Ming's 170 million on the list, and the 120 million of the 120 million women's 12 orchestra is more than this, and Gong Li, who ranks fourth in income under this, is only 38 million. But this income is really not high for Lin Yuquan, especially compared with last year's 577 million, it is very obvious, and the gap is too big. If Lin Yuquan was like Xu Jinglei, he didn't shoot any film and television works last year, it would be explained. But who doesn't know that Lin Yuquan filmed "Red Cliff" last year. and set a new record at the Chinese box office. Compared with the box office of up to 400 million US dollars, 80.5 million yuan is not less.

Forbes' response was also very swift, and in the afternoon of the same day, Hao Bing, the producer of the list, responded that they used the annual income they used to be the most important evaluation indicator of the Forbes celebrity list, but it did not refer to the actual personal income of the star. The income of the celebrity list is an estimate of the pre-tax income earned by celebrities in entertainment, sports and other related fields throughout 2005. In other words, if they are film and television stars, their income mainly includes the remuneration for appearing in film and television dramas, advertising endorsement fees, royalties for publishing books, and appearance fees for commercial activities. Thereinto. The part allocated to the brokerage company and the competent unit is not deducted.

This income does not include the income from celebrity investment and operation, so although Lin Yuquan's income from "Red Cliff" is far greater than the 80.5 million on the list, because it belongs to the income from operating a film company, only Lin Yuquan's remuneration is calculated.

In the response, Hao Bing also interpreted Lin Yuquan's income of 80.5 million, which includes 2 advertising endorsements, namely Pepsi Cola and Mobile Company, as well as Lin Yuquan's salary income from directing and starring in "Red Cliff" and "I Am Special Forces".

And after the response came out, everyone couldn't help but complain about whether they got paid or not. How high the salary is, it is not up to Lin Yuquan to have the final say. and laughed that Lin Yuquan did this just because he didn't want to scare other stars.

Of course, after understanding Hao Bing's interpretation, many people are also interested in the specific composition of Lin Yuquan's 80.5 million income, how much is the advertising endorsement fee, what is the salary of "Red Cliff", and what is the income of "I am a special soldier", there is no shortage of people who speculate about this, and the guessed figures are also varied.

So a reporter contacted Chang Jihong and asked about it, Chang Jihong certainly did not hide it, in fact, there is nothing to hide, Lin Yuquan is not afraid of tax authorities audit, and in Chang Jihong's heart, she wishes that Lin Yuquan's commercial value would be understood by others, although Lin Yuquan's high advertising costs will scare away a bunch of advertisers, but in this world, the most important thing is to have rich companies, many companies are not afraid of money, their standard for finding spokespersons is to be famous and expensive. However, she didn't say the specific price, but responded that it was more than 20 million per year, specifically, let those people play, say dead, it's not easy to negotiate the price.

But even 20 million is really shocking enough, in this era when the first-line popular stars are generally only two or three million, and the superstars are only 10 million, the price of 20 million is definitely a sky-high price, which can be called the highest value of domestic performing arts stars. Some people doubt the authenticity of the price, but they are quickly drowned out by a brain-dead scolding, others Lin Yuquan is a world-class popular star, and the 20 million yuan is converted into US dollars for less than 3 million US dollars, which is actually normal in Europe and the United States.

In addition to Lin Yuquan, there are indeed many highlights of this year's Forbes China Celebrity List, and careful people can find that the attitude of celebrities towards the list is undergoing a huge change.

In 04, when Forbes first launched the Chinese celebrity list, it was almost unanimously refuted by the entertainment industry, and many celebrities regarded the list as a flood beast and did not want to see the fact that they were on the list, so they questioned the source and authenticity of the celebrity list.

This year's situation is different, although everyone is still reluctant to admit their income, they are very enthusiastic about being on the list, and they have begun to relay their efforts, using the Forbes celebrity list for publicity, rather than the sword of Damocles hanging over the head of the Chinese entertainment industry.

Lin Yuquan and others, who were in the Shuguang Film and Television Base, were not disturbed by this, and everyone who was busy filming had the heart to pay attention to these.

The start-up ceremony of "Painted Skin" the next morning was relatively simple, this time, Lin Yuquan did not even invite reporters, in order to prevent the situation of Shuguang Film and Television Base from being leaked in advance, after a simple start-up and worship, everyone started the filming of the first scene of the film in the arranged set.

Since the current Shuguang Film and Television Base has only been built out of the city, the film will be filmed here first, and after the filming of the scene leaving the city is completed, it will be transferred to the location base for shooting.

The first scene to be filmed today is not huge in terms of the scale of personnel, and it is filmed about Wang Sheng's extermination of the mountain bandits, the triumphant return with Xiao Wei, and the first meeting between Xiao Wei and Chen.

Lin Yuquan's attention to this first scene is undoubted. Inside the powder room. He carefully looked at the makeup of Xiao Wei, Chen and the other actors. Under his scrutiny, Zhou Xun, Hao Lei and others were not embarrassed, of course, they couldn't protest anything when they were putting on makeup.

"Hao Lei's makeup should be more dignified, and it should give people a sense of no makeup without powder at all."

"Pay attention to Zhou Xun's eyelashes and eyes, and look watery as if they can speak, right. That's it. ”

"Chen Kun's face is whiter, and his makeup should look heroic and elegant."

"The makeup of a few maids is fresh enough on the whole, and it doesn't have to be so complicated."

In the entire dressing room, in addition to Lin Yuquan's voice, what can be heard is the sound of makeup artists busy with makeup.

The first meeting between Chen and Xiao Wei invisibly wants to present a stark contrast to the audience, the beautiful Xiao Wei who has brought disaster to the country and the people is pitiful under the disguise, and the dignified atmosphere of Chen, the virtuous wife who is in charge of the housework of the general's mansion, how to clearly convey the temperament and image of the two, which is very important.

There are clever makeup artists. The idea in Lin Yuquan's heart was quickly realized, and he looked at Zhou Xun, Hao Lei and the others in front of him. He nodded in satisfaction, which was exactly what he wanted.

"Great director, do you like to watch people put on makeup so much?" Zhou Xun, who finished putting on makeup, said lazily.

"Don't worry, I'm not paying special attention to you, I'm just appreciating the amazing makeup technique." Lin Yuquan said with a smile.

"Yo, you're scolding me all the time, aren't you?" Zhou Xun scolded with a smile, lifeless.

"Of course not, with your age, it's not easy to get to where you are now, at least after this kind of makeup, you can barely get on the cover of a magazine and star in my movie, but you'd better wear makeup like this." Lin Yuquan shook his head and said.

"Why?" Zhou Xun knew that this was a trap, but he couldn't help but ask.

Hao Lei and Chen Kun next to him also pricked up their ears.

"If the contrast is too great, it will frighten your fans and disappoint them!" Lin Yuquan said solemnly.

"Poof!" Zhou Xun was laughing and crying angrily by Lin Yuquan, of course, most of them were laughing, and the others also laughed, and the dressing room was full of joy.

"If you let your fans know that a dignified director is not serious at all, then it is really disappointed and even desperate!" Zhou Xun retorted unceremoniously.

"Does the director have to be an old-fashioned and strict image in the hearts of the public? Your concept is too traditional and pedantic, to be honest, with your character, is it too difficult for you to play a beautiful demon fox, hey, mistake! I am me, a fireworks with different colors, and I think everyone must prefer a director with a life-like personality. Lin Yuquan said with a smile.

"Sure enough, you can't argue with the director, otherwise it will be very cuppy." Zhou Xun had a look of deep understanding.

"Thank you for the compliment, I will convey what you said to Director Chen Kexin and Director Feng Xiaogang, they will definitely think the same way as me." Lin Yuquan shrugged.

Zhou Xun spread his hands and seemed to say, okay, man, you won.

Seeing the look on her face, the others smiled even more.

"Okay, I've laughed and laughed, let's hurry up and talk about the play, today is the first scene we started, I hope you can find the feeling immediately, your best state is to put yourself into acting, the most important thing in this scene is the performance of Zhou Xun and Hao Lei, you two must not drop the chain, let me talk about the situation in detail, do you understand? If you don't understand, bring it up now, so as not to delay the time of everyone in the crew when the performance is in place. Lin Yuquan said with a straight face, and his solemn gaze swept over every actor in the dressing room.

"Director, I would like to ask whether our maid's hand should be placed on her chest like this, or on her chest like this."

"Director Lin, Chen's dignified and atmospheric demeanor, I have always been a little unsure."

"Director Lin, can Wang Sheng's expression change more?"

After the play, Lin Yuquan and everyone came to the set up, and the photographer, field staff, and lighting everyone had already prepared.

After Lin Yuquan carefully checked again and communicated with the staff, he sat down in front of the monitor screen, gestured to the assistant director Fu Guang's eyes, and nodded, and the latter immediately understood the screen.

"Everyone prepare, this is the first scene we start up, we must shoot it perfectly, 321action!" Lin Yuquan said loudly, and waved his right hand calmly and powerfully. (To be continued......)
