Section 1263 Return to Korea
In the entertainment industry, especially in Hollywood, there are quite a few big-name stars who have their own private jets.
And in Asia, the number of stars who own private jets is not too great.
If nothing else, let's just talk about the three East Asian countries.
The first is China. In China, it is relatively easy for big-name artists to make money, and many of them have the ability to buy private jets. However, due to the difference in consumer awareness and the restrictions of domestic regulations, it is not until recent years that some people have broken the previous practice and invested in their own private jets. Its representative figures are Uncle Benshan, Chairman Chou, Fan Ye, Director Feng, Andy and others.
Then there is Japan. Slightly different from the situation in China, in the Japanese entertainment industry, whether you can get a high salary depends entirely on the current popularity of the artist. In other words, if you are not popular enough now, then you will definitely not get too much income, and like in China, it is impossible to sing a song for decades and continue to make money in Japan. From this point of view, it is much more difficult to make money in the Japanese entertainment industry than in China.
It's harder. But then again, because the entertainment market in Japan is more mature than in China, artists can get more opportunities in their work. Don't mention artists with relatively little remuneration at a time, those big-name popular artists can still get a lot of income after working for a year.
With this income, buying a private jet with a modest price is not much difficult for those big-name artists in Japan. But. Because the main locations of artists' activities are concentrated in several major cities such as Tokyo and Osaka, and the transportation in Japan is already very convenient, there is basically no delay in getting to and from these locations. So even with enough capital, there are still few Japanese artists who are willing to spend money to buy a private jet.
The last is South Korea. Compared with Chinese artists and Japanese artists, the pattern of Korean artists is actually much smaller. It's not that they don't have fame, but that they don't compare to the stars of the first two countries in terms of income at all.
Actors, singers, and comedy artists, that is, in South Korea, will divide artists into these three distinct grades. And the biggest reason for this situation is because of the huge difference in income between artists.
Let's not talk about funny artists. Except for a very few people like Yoo Jae-seok who have won the title of 'national', most of the funny artists are struggling to make ends meet. Maybe you can't even scrape together the money to buy a car, let alone buy a private jet.
Singer. It's not much better. Among the three types of artists, singers rely the most on brokerage companies, whether it is training from a young age, or promotion and publicity after debut. It's all about relying on brokerage firms. It's because of this parasitic relationship. So they have to sign a very excessive contract with the brokerage company, giving a large part of the income to the brokerage company, instead of depositing it in their own private account. On the whole, the singers are just a little better than the funny artists, and they belong to the level of 'it's okay to buy a car, but you have to take it seriously when you buy a house'.
The actors are the ones who can make the most money. And these actors have to be divided into two categories. Not divided into film actors and TV actors, but according to their influence abroad and the number of fans. It is divided into two categories: 'Hallyu actors' and 'non-Hallyu actors'. The reason for this is very simple - no matter how famous you are, no matter how good your acting skills are. As long as you don't get out of South Korea, you still can't make money.
The most obvious representative is Pei Yongjun. When it comes to real acting skills, is Bae Yongjun the best among Korean actors? Obviously not, in front of him, there are old actors like Song Kanghao. However, it was because Bae Yongjun starred in a "Blue Life and Death Love" and became the leader of the Korean Wave, so he was able to make countless money from the Japanese market outside of South Korea.
First of all, you have to have the title of 'Korean Wave', and then you have to have a certain strength, and the most important thing is to see if the works you participate in can achieve great influence overseas. Because of the restrictions of these three conditions, it is determined that there will not be too many 'big money' among Korean actors.
Therefore, in terms of the number of people, the number of artists who have bought private jets is the largest in China, followed by Japan, and South Korea is the last.
Scarcity is expensive. This is an eternal truth.
If Jackie Chan said the phrase 'I booked a private jet' to his friends, the shock would certainly not be too big, for the simple reason that some of his friends must have already owned a private jet, and he is not only not the first, but also the most arrogant.
However, Li Jingyuan's situation is different. There are very few people in South Korea who own private jets, so when he says 'I booked a private jet,' the impact on his friends is understandable.
And that's not all. Don't forget, Li Jingyuan's order is not the kind of small private jet that only has a dozen seats, such as the one that appeared in "Iron Man", but a 59-meter-long A330 that has always appeared as a large passenger aircraft.
From a professional point of view, a larger aircraft does not necessarily make it more expensive. But where are Li Jingyuan's friends who are professionals? When looking at this matter, they are no different from ordinary people at all, so it is natural to think that the larger the aircraft, the higher the price.
When Li Jingyuan said the sentence 'The aircraft model I ordered is A330', curious friends will definitely hurry to the Internet to check the information. After such a check, they will definitely see not only the information of the A330, but also some information related to other private jets.
Not only will you know the price of the A330 is close to $200 million, but you will also know the pricing of other small private jets in the road. The price of small private jets fluctuates from less than $10 million to $60 million, compared to the price of the A330, which is several times higher. So. After grasping this information, they will definitely be even more shocked by Li Jingyuan's behavior of placing an order to customize A330.
He had long expected that it would cause huge fluctuations, so Li Jingyuan did not tell the girls closest to him about it at the first time. As for Liu Zaishi and others. That's not to mention, it's not that the relationship with him is not as close as the girls, but because the nature of the relationship is slightly different. In comparison, the familiarity is the same, but the girls are like family members living together, and Liu Zaishi and others are sworn friends.
When you buy a 'big item', you will basically report it to your parents, brothers and sisters at home. But. But he won't tell his friends very deliberately. From a certain point of view, Li Jingyuan's approach is like this, but the 'big' he added is just a little too big.
Don't tell the girls. In addition to not disturbing the girls' next family concerts in the United States and South Korea, it is also to surprise them.
In Li Jingyuan's plan, when the plane is almost built, the interior decoration will begin. He'll put the reins in the hands of the girls. It is up to them to decide on the specific decoration of the interior of the aircraft.
Every young woman, as long as her personality is not eccentric to the point of being weird, will definitely love 'arrangement'. When I was young, after I had my own room, I had to decorate it as a 'princess style' or 'fairy tale style' according to my preferences, and after buying a car, I wanted to decorate the interior of the car very cutely, all kinds of situations. It all proves that girls are the most 'decorated' group of people. And the reason for this is simple. It is because in the process of arrangement, but let the girls fully use their imagination, and feel extremely romantic while fantasizing.
Leave the interior decoration of the plane to the girls to decide, Li Jingyuan's move can definitely be regarded as 'doing what he likes'.
…………………………………………………………
followed the film crew around the world for another two or three months, and in the blink of an eye, 11 years have passed, and the time has come to January of 12.
At this time, the filming of the movie "Zodiac" has all ended. For Li Jingyuan, the filming has been completed, the two identities of actor and martial arts instructor are outdated, and the theme song of the movie promised to Jackie Chan was also produced with Wang Leehom early on, and it has been handed over to Jackie Chan. Therefore, even though the film is still in post-production and is not completely finished, he still got permission from Jackie Chan to leave the crew and return to South Korea.
The filming was still done in a studio in Hong Kong, so when Lee Kyung-won returned to South Korea, he did not fly directly to South Korea from the location, but returned from Hong Kong, where the climate is warm. It's still January, and the temperature in Hong Kong is already in the teens and twenties, even if you wear a single coat and stand outside, you won't feel too cold, but at the same time, it is still an authentic cold winter in Seoul, South Korea. Although he had been mentally prepared for a long time and put on thick cotton clothes in advance, after getting off the plane, Li Jingyuan couldn't help but shiver when he was blown by the cold wind on the airport.
Of course, it's just a little shivering. With Li Jingyuan's physique, he will not feel uncomfortable because of this difference in temperature. In fact, not only did he not feel any discomfort, but for Li Jingyuan, these cold winds made him feel some long-lost closeness.
As early as a few days ago, Li Jingyuan had said to Jessica, 'I should be able to go back in a few days', but because Jackie Chan has not given specific news, he has not been able to tell Jessica the exact time.
And before getting on the plane, Li Jingyuan didn't forget to make a phone call with Jessica. This time, he got a slightly disappointed answer, Jessica, or the whole girlhood, was still in a hurry at this time, and it was expected that the end of work would not be until night, and no one had time to pick him up at the airport.
"Okay. Regardless of whether anyone picks it up or not, I'm back anyway. Exhaled a breath, a white mist formed in the air, and after Li Jingyuan shook his head, he walked to the taxi stop on the side of the airport parking apron, ready to take a taxi home.
No one came to pick him up, which really disappointed Li Jingyuan a little. But he didn't understand, after all, he hadn't determined the time of returning to China before, in this case, how could the girls adjust the itinerary. What about a time to meet him?
"The kids are still in a hurry. Others~, well, don't contact you yet. I'm finally back, so let's rest for a few days first. It's okay if Brother Shi knows the Dao, if Brother Mingxiu and they also know the Dao, they will definitely not be able to rest after a while. "After I came back, I still had to inform some people, so on the way to my destination. Li Jingyuan took the phone and looked through the number book, and began to ponder in his mind.
You don't need to contact anyone else, but your parents and elders at home must notify you. In addition, Li Xiuman also has to tell a word. After spending ten minutes and reporting to his parents, Li Jingyuan dialed Li Xiuman's phone number again.
"Uncle Man. I am back~. ”
"Coming back? What's coming back? Oooh. It's Jing Yuan. Are you saying you've finished filming and are now back in Korea? Li Xiuman's voice on the other end of the phone sounded a little strange, but Li Jingyuan didn't doubt it, after all, he came back a little suddenly, and it was reasonable for Li Xiuman to be surprised.
"Well, just got off the plane."
"And you're still at the airport? By the way, did someone pick you up? Do you want me to send a car over? After a short period of wrongness, Li Xiuman has already adjusted. At this time, he asked very enthusiastically.
"No need. I don't want to go to work as soon as I get back, so let's let me rest for a few days. I made this call, just to inform Uncle Xiuman, it didn't mean anything special. By the way, you don't have to send a car, I'll just take a taxi back by myself. ”
"Oh, well, wait for you to rest......
"Guess who I am~~!!" Suddenly, Li Jingyuan's eyes were blindfolded from behind by a pair of small hands, and then a crisp voice came from his ears, covering Li Xiuman's voice on the phone.
"Shun-kyu?" Listening to the sound is like a little sun, but Li Jingyuan is not too sure in his heart. First, because the voice sounded a little muffled, not as crisp and pleasant as Little Sun's usual voice, and secondly, because before getting on the plane, I heard Jessica clearly say the phrase 'Girls' Generation has an itinerary today', and I think Little Sun will not come.
"Hehe, count you as having a conscience~." Satisfied with Li Jingyuan's answer, his little hand moved away from his eyes. Because of this situation, Li Jingyuan confirmed that the person behind it was Xiao Sun.
Turning around, Li Jingyuan saw the tightly surrounded little sun. This girl is not only wearing a huge down jacket, but also wearing a scarf, hat, gloves, mask and a series of cold-proof equipment, covering herself like a bear. No one can recognize such a little sun at all, even those crazy fans who usually like her the most, if it weren't for the fact that Li Jingyuan and the girls have long been familiar with each other, he may not be able to recognize it.
"Why are you here? Didn't you say you had an itinerary today? "Little Sun's height is a tragedy, in order to cover Li Jingyuan's eyes, she had to jump violently just now. Because of this jump, the hat on her head was slightly crooked. While stretching out his hand to straighten the girl's hat, Li Jingyuan asked the question in his heart.
"Hehe, there is an itinerary, but my personal itinerary has ended."
"Personal itinerary?" Li Jingyuan was held by Xiao Sun's arm and turned around, and at the same time, he couldn't help but ask: "Aren't your trips together?" ”
"Well, so-young and Seo-hyun are filming pictorials, and Sika, Taeyeon, Hyoyeon, and Fany are participating in the show, and my trip today is in the morning, and I went to attend the opening ceremony of a shopping mall early in the morning. Hehe, although I have to get up a little earlier, but my trip today is the earliest to end~. ”
It was only at this time that Li Jingyuan found that he was taken by Xiao Sun and turned a corner, and instead of going to the taxi stop, he was pulled to another place. Seeing this situation, he was just stunned for a moment and thought of the reason - Xiao Sun is here, the nanny car that sent her over must be nearby, and now she is leading herself to the nanny car.
"Huh? You came by car? When he got to a certain position, Li Jingyuan found that his guess had been wrong. The car parked not far away was not a special Girls' Generation or any of the company's nanny cars at all, but the Lamborghini that I bought in Europe more than two months ago and delivered to South Korea in advance.
Xiao Sun drove by herself, and this incident alone already surprised Li Jingyuan, not to mention that she had only bought it for a short time, and she herself didn't have a good new car, which made him even more surprised. Crying and laughing, Li Jingyuan couldn't help but take off Xiaoyang's hat and flicked it on her head: "Ah~!" Even if you drive yourself, why do you want to drive my new car? As far as your stinky technique is concerned, it doesn't matter if you crash yourself, what if you crash my new car~! ”
"Don't worry, my skills are good...... no, what's the point of hitting me? Yikes~! Stinky OPPA, I'm not as good as a car~! (To be continued......)
