Chapter 455: Get your driver's license and rise to the top of the list of Chinese celebrities
The dashing brother, who is wholeheartedly preparing for the filming of the movie, never imagined that "Red Cliff", a big-budget Sino-American cooperation movie, would be so troubled!
March 12th, this is the date of the official start of filming of "Red Cliff" on the contract, but Zhou Runfa withdrew! The crew is looking for the right person, of course, there is no way to start filming.
Fortunately, on the second day, Liang Chaowei, who had already pushed off playing Zhuge Liang, entered the crew again and agreed to play Zhou Yu, and then Wu Yusen announced that Jin Chengwu had joined in and would play Zhuge Liang, so the starring lineup was finally completed.
However, filming can't start at this time, because the two leading actors have changed, and the previous script must be revised again, so on March 13, Wu Yusen personally called his mobile phone, apologized to him, and gave a guarantee: "On the 18th of next month, I promise that the movie will start shooting on time, please wait a little, if it is postponed next time, we are willing to pay you the liquidated damages of the contract." ”
Well, the big director called in person, how can Brother Chic give some face, plus he is also writing songs and practicing martial arts, and his life is very fulfilling, so he didn't think it would happen if he postponed a month of shooting, so he agreed.
Uh, well, he admits that the reason why he is so good at talking is mainly because Gao Yan is still negotiating with the CAA agency, and he currently has no other contract except for the movie "Red Cliff", so he is very idle, and it is okay to start filming later!
What's more, he also signed up for a driving training class?
Yes, as a big star. He doesn't know how to drive. This is obviously unjustifiable. So he took this opportunity to sign up for a driving school, ready to get his car license within this month, and then wait for the supercar company to come to his door.
At this time, it is still relatively simple to get a driver's license, not to mention that he is not short of cars to practice, plus he has a smart brain and a strong memory, so after two weeks, he got the C license. From now on, it can be regarded as "able to walk".
People who have just got a driver's license know that novices are always full of a sense of desire to drive, and Brother Chic is no exception, so he drove the Audi car bought by Gao Yan for several days in Shanghai, and even drove to Suzhou, Hangzhou, Nanjin and other places to go around, and finally passed the addiction of driving, and he was not so keen on driving.
Shanghai in March was still a little wet and cold, just when he was about to go abroad for a vacation on a tropical island, a piece of news once again pushed him to the forefront, and once again aroused the strong attention and sideways attention of the people of the whole country.
Morning of 23 March 2007. The Chinese edition of Forbes, a well-known business magazine in the world, officially announced the "China Celebrity List" listed by Forbes in 2007.
This list is out as soon as it is launched. It immediately attracted the strong attention of people at all levels across the country, because the NBA superstar "Yao Qianshu" actually gave up the first place that had dominated for three years, and the person who kicked him was a young man who had only debuted for more than 7 months - Tang Xiaoshi.
The form is as follows:
Comprehensive ranking, name, industry, income (10,000 yuan), income ranking
1 - Tang Chic - singer, magician, actor - 72000-1
2- Yao Ming - Athlete - 26,000-2
3 - Liu Xiang - Athlete - 5,800-5
4 - Zhang Yimou - director - 3,500-7
5-Zhang Ziyi-actor-1,800-15
6 - Gong Li - actor - 4,600-6
7-Weekly-Actor-2,300-11
8 - Fan Bingbin - actor - 1,900-14
9- Li Yuchun - singer - 1,300-22
10-Xu Jinglei - actor, director - 1,800-15
Yes, that's right, this is the top 10 list of the 2007 Forbes China Celebrity List, which is also the most attractive and the most popular list for the people of the whole country.
Young Master Dark Dragon: "I'm going to go, after reading this list, my brother just wants to say that the people in Forbes are stupid?" What's more, Brother Chic's income is actually 720 million yuan? What an international joke! How is this money calculated? Also, how could Yao Ming Yao Boss lose to Brother Chic in the comprehensive ranking? He played in the NBA, and the whole country was paying attention to him! It's unscientific anyway! Even if I'm a fan of Brother Chic, I can't believe it. ”
Zhen Zhen baby: "Hahaha, great, idols are hanging!" The income list and the comprehensive list are both the first, which is a proper rhythm to overwhelm Yao Ming! This also truly reflects the fact that Brother Chic's popularity is invincible in the country, and he is not inferior to Yao Ming, the rocket center, in the whole world, and his earning ability is even more than a few streets away from him! ”
Favorite Chunchun: "I just want to say that I am in the groove, why is Tang Xiaosheng ranked first?" With his bad records selling tens of thousands of copies, he can also earn 680 million yuan? Damn, the people who make this list are simply in the water, right? There are few advertisements, there are no international brand endorsements, movies are still being made, at most, the performances in the United States have earned millions of dollars, and he can also dominate the first place on the two lists? Wouldn't it be more reason for us to be the first in Chunchun? ”
Incomparable: "The gauze upstairs doesn't explain, you can use your brains even if you're black, right?" People have bad records, but the sales are really there, and you actually say that you have only sold tens of thousands of copies, which is more excessive than talking nonsense with your eyes open! No wonder corn is always hated, just like you, who doesn't hate it? But to be honest, I don't believe that Tang Xiaosheng really sold 55 million copies (laughs), because the domestic record industry has always liked to inject water, and when the statistical results are made public, they often multiply the real data by 3~5 times, or even 10 times, so calculated, Tang Xiaosheng sold 15 million copies at most, even if a record earns 8 yuan, plus the income from performance tickets in New York, and various endorsement fees or something, he will only earn about 250 million at most, which is far from 680 million! ”
Eternal years: "I originally wanted to say only four words: Helper V5, but after thinking about it, I decided to add two more words: arrogant 87, what? Two more words, that's what my brother likes! Wow ha Therefore, I must shout: Gang Leader V587, Gang Leader Arrogant 6B, let's strive to defend the title next year, so that everyone else can only compete for the third place, because Yao Ming Yao Boss has already wrapped up the second place. ”
……
It is no exaggeration to say that when this list was announced, it immediately set off an earthquake-like reaction across the country, especially on the Internet, the title of "Chinese Celebrity List", in less than two hours, it became the first hot word in Du Niang's search list, and at least millions of people across the country went online to see what was going on the Internet for the first time.
I saw Penguin.com's Forbes 2007 China Celebrity List feature read:
The cooperation between Zhang Yimou and Gong Li on "Golden Armor" has made both of them successfully in high positions, among them, Zhang Yimou ranks second comprehensively among cultural circles, ranking fourth on the comprehensive list, and Gong Li ranks fourth and sixth on the comprehensive list.
In terms of income, the famous pianist Lang Lang became the second most profitable literary star with 150 million yuan, while Zhang Yimou ranked seventh with 35 million yuan.
Lang Lang has such a high income, but he can't top the income list in the literary and art circles, mainly because there is a Tang Xiaosheng who is invincible in popularity and income in front of him, so he can only be in second place.
NBA superstar Yao Ming is still very strong, with a huge salary and endorsements from international brands, and his income and popularity are completely worry-free, if it weren't for Tang Xiaoshuang's birth, and the launch of 'diamond-level records' sold more than 50 million copies, the top position of "Little Giant" is in no danger of falling, and the ranking has fallen for the first time in 4 years.
But it doesn't matter, next year Yao Ming will fulfill a new professional contract, the salary will be higher, the endorsement fee will be more expensive, he is likely to regain the top spot, unless Tang Xiaosheng releases a new diamond album again this year, he is likely to be in second place next year.
In addition, "non-famous cross talk actor" Guo Degang was selected for the first time this year and ranked 26th on this list, Li Yuchun also ranked in the top 10 with the hot sales and potential influence of his first album, and his opponents Zhang Liangying, He Jie, and Zhou Bichang all ranked in the top 100, and last year's super girl runner-up Tan Weiwei made her debut on the list with an income of 1.2 million and ranked 92nd in the comprehensive ranking. And Zhang Hanyun ranked 71st with an income of 2.2 million last year.
In general, this year's "Forbes Celebrity List" can be summarized as follows:
First: Seven Zhang Yimou are not as good as one Yao Ming, and at the same time, the other 9 in the top 10 in terms of income are not as good as Tang Xiaoshuang, and the top 20 in terms of income are not as good as Tang Xiaoshuang;
Second: Within the top 100 of the rankings, the cultural circle overtook the sports circle, with actors, directors, singers, hosts, models and writers accounting for 83 seats, while athletes only accounted for 17.
Third: Although Yangchun Baixue has a high income, it is not popular. Lang Lang and Li Yundi, although their income ranks 2nd and 7th respectively, their popularity rankings are 22nd and 40th respectively, and their media exposure and search volume are too low.
Fourth: Yin is prosperous and yang is declining, male stars are beneficial to female stars, in the top 10 of the comprehensive ranking, except for the top 4 Tang Xiaosheng, Yao Ming, Liu Xiang and Zhang Yimou, the others are all women.
Fifth: Yao Ming will dominate for 10 years, and the opponents are only injuries and Tang Xiaoxiao.
Sixth: Two generations of Mou girls vs. Gong Li's money bag is not small, but her reputation is slightly inferior, Zhang Ziyi's income has decreased sharply, and the future prospects are broad.
Seventh: The ranking of the supergirl lineup rises more and falls less, Zhang Liangying and Li Yuchun will be the biggest opponents, the ranking of the two is only 7 places apart, and there is likely to be a vicious fight in the coming year. (To be continued......)
