On the evening of March 27, 2009, the Chinese edition of Forbes officially announced the list of "2009 China Celebrity List".

Speaking of Forbes, this is the name of a magazine, and of course, its founder is called Forbes.

At the beginning of the 20th century, a financial journalist named Forbes founded this magazine, at first he collected information on various rich circles in order to better write reports and sell magazines, and later he came up with the idea of ranking the rich.

At that time, the rich people in the United States, like China, did not look down on this ranking at the beginning, and also adhered to the principle of not revealing their wealth, so the rich ranking in Forbes magazine in the early days was very large, and even said that many of them were uninvestigated hearsay.

However, unexpectedly, as soon as the magazine was launched, the response was very good, and the so-called rich people on the list were sought after everywhere by people, and their careers suddenly became smooth sailing.

At this time, the real rich people were tempted, they began to expose frequently, and even took the initiative to provide Forbes with their own information, and in this way, Forbes has developed into a powerful multinational media group by virtue of the rich ranking.

Since the beginning of the new century, with the development of China's economy, Forbes Group has also looked at this undeveloped land of China, and since 2004, it has begun to publish the Chinese version of Forbes and produce the "Forbes China Celebrity List". ”

And the launch of the list every year will cause a storm of public opinion.

This year is even more so.

Unlike the Rich List, the Celebrity List is aimed at public figures, and in addition to counting annual income, it is also ranked in combination with relevant exposure.

Each year, 100 celebrities from the previous year to the present are selected.

After the release of the 2009 list, it immediately caused a public outcry.

Because 08 is the Olympic year, the number one is a sports star, and the little giant Yao Ming has topped the list for six consecutive years with an income of 350 million yuan, after all, at this time, he is still playing in the NBA and earning US dollars, so Yao Ming's first place, most people can expect it.

The second place is Zhang Ziyi, she has an annual income of 78 million RMB in 2008, plus the exposure rate of the fourth place, ranking second comprehensively, although everyone is a little surprised by this result, but it is acceptable, after all, Zhang Ziyi is also an international movie star, has been famous for a long time, and is not covered in all aspects.

And the third place, it really didn't make everyone guess at all, public opinion generally believes that the top three should be occupied by sports stars, such as Yi Jianlian, Guo Jingjing, etc., Zhang Ziyi's appearance is already a small upset, but I didn't expect the third place to kill a dark horse, which really surprised everyone.

That's right, it's the fairy sister Liu Yifei.

Liu Yifei ranked third on the 2009 Chinese celebrity list with an annual income of 56 million RMB, plus an exposure rate higher than Zhang Ziyi and the third place.

Public opinion is in an uproar, not that I think Liu Yifei is unworthy, throughout 08 years, although Liu Yifei has experienced being smeared, rumor-mongering and even banned for a time, but after the explosion of the two works of "Star You" and "Refuge" and joining the starry sky, and at the same time the relationship with Sun Yi was exposed, endorsing Tissot, Chanel and other internationally renowned brands, her popularity and prestige all reversed, and began an explosive straight rise.

Everyone knows this, but I really didn't expect that she could directly rush into the top three, you must know that in 2008, she was also on the list, but she was a goalkeeper, ranking 89th.

In just one year, the span is so large, it really makes people's jaws drop.

Netizens commented one after another.

"I'll go, Sister Fairy has exploded this year."

"Don't say it, I'm a fan of Liu Yifei this year, and so are many friends around me."

"My Sissi, so amazing, come on, rush to the first !! next year"

There are passers-by, fans, and melon-eating people in the comments on the Internet, as well as rational players.

"Have you found a problem, Liu Yifei is ranked third, why can't you see Sun Yi in the top ten, what did he do?"

"I'll rub, yes, don't say it upstairs, I didn't expect it, it stands to reason that Sun Yi's annual income shouldn't be higher!"

"Yes, yes, I suddenly feel that Sun Yi has nothing else except Professor Du, and the fairy sister attends various business activities by herself."

The media also reacted and began to focus on Sun Yi.

Looking at the list, Sun Yi actually ranked outside the 20th with an annual income of 10 million and the exposure rate of the 23rd, and he was not on the first two pages of the list.

Questions have been raised about Forbes' rankings.

And Forbes is also wronged, they explain:

The income from this list is only an estimate of the pre-tax income earned by celebrities in entertainment, sports and other related fields throughout 2008.

Income includes remuneration, performance appearance fees, advertising endorsement fees, competition bonuses and various copyright income.

Their personal investment and operating income is not included.

This means that the income of Sun Yi's starry sky image, they don't count, and they can't get the corresponding data.

Sun Yi shoots all his own company's films, he takes all internal shares, rarely discloses them to the public, and the director's fee on the surface is also very low, and the annual income of 10 million is still estimated with his various copyright income.

The Forbes Exposure Rankings are weighted by three annual exposures: newspapers, television, and online searches. In addition, 29 first-class magazines were also weighted for the cover stories of the year.

Sun Yi did not participate in any variety shows, interviews, including commercial activities throughout the year. In 08, there was no film promotion in China. If it weren't for the fact that he was on the news network, and because of the role of Professor Du, and a certain amount of Internet searches on his relationship with Liu Yifei, his exposure rate of these 23 may not be ranked.

And when the media listened to the explanation of "Forbes", they were also very helpless, and they suddenly found that Sun Yi in 08 had nothing else to do except play Professor Du in "Star You" and his love affair with the national goddess Liu Yifei.

The situation about the movie "Untouchable" is also lackluster, there is only a general information on the Internet, and nothing else.

The media and netizens are becoming curious.

What did Sun Yi do this year?

With such a young director, you can't just stay at home, right?

Just eat Liu Yifei's soft rice?

Why do you still eat hard?

Everyone didn't believe it, and they always felt that Sun Yi or the starry sky or something, holding back the big move, suddenly had a quiet feeling before the storm.

The media investigated for two days, but still did not come up with any clues, it seems that the key to the problem lies in Sun Yi and Liu Yifei, and only by interviewing them can they know the reason.

Many insiders who are familiar with Sun Yi are also curious, and they also want to know what Sun Yi is doing.

Zhang Yi: "@孙羿, why are you hiding so deeply? ”

Su Chang: "@刘艺菲, is the leading brother behind the scenes?" ”

Yang Mi: "@刘艺菲@孙羿, congratulations, congratulations!" ”

In fact, Liu Yifei is also quite confused, she has never paid attention to Sun Yi's affairs in this regard, she just knows that he is engaged in film industrialization, but to what extent she has done it, and how to get the next one, she doesn't know very well.

According to netizens, I really feel that my brother is a little too low-key.

For a time, Sun Yi and Liu Yifei, the star couple, once again became the focus of the public.

A group of media have crossed the sea to show their powers, and it depends on who can win the interview between the two.

In the face of the media's requests, the starry sky refused without exception.

"Brother, I'm going to interview the two of us, and they've all contacted my mom."

"Ah, have you found your aunt?"

"Uh-huh."

"What do you think, would you like to be interviewed?"

"I don't have any ideas, listen to you, and besides, there are no movies to be released now, and there is no need for publicity."

"Well, then let's not accept it first, let's talk about it when we are busy with "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic", you don't have many scenes, and I will be responsible for a special effect here, it is estimated that it will be about a week, and then we will watch it next."

"Okay."

The media couldn't contact Sun Yi and Liu Yifei, so they could only wait for the two to attend the event for an interview.

After looking around with various media, I found out that Sun Yi was about to take Liu Yifei to attend the launch conference of "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic".

"The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic of China" itself is the head movie of this year, because Sun Yi and Liu Yifei have increased their weight again.

Ask for a monthly pass, thank you!
