Chapter 346 The Top 100 Celebrities in the World
In fact, it is not necessary to exclude it, the impact has already been produced.
Even if the ratings will continue to decline due to the general trend, the quality will not necessarily be greatly affected.
Other companies have begun to imitate Dragon Scale and go down the path of high-quality dramas, and some have even reaped the benefits.
Hairun Film and Television, the first company I studied, had some dramas that were exported to Southeast Asia.
This is obviously a new profit point.
It is not easy to change from bad to good, and it is actually quite difficult to interrupt the positive cycle.
Seeing the second positive example, other companies are too jealous.
Tang Ren wants to keep Liu Qianqian alive because he wants to use her overseas influence for export.
"Xianyi" has even found an overseas broadcast platform.
The situation in the field of TV dramas can be said to be very good. The gap between what Chen Linfeng predicted in his early years is getting wider and wider.
Liu Qianqian chuckled lightly and said nothing more.
She knows best the impact Xiaofeng has on this.
Nowadays, many media, when talking about the current situation of the reform of various companies in the field of TV dramas, will invariably mention Dragon Scale and the influence of those Xiao Chen dramas.
……
April 28, an event hall in the hotel.
Chen Linfeng is still discussing the action plot of "Hurricane Rescue" with Fang Long.
The team members brought by the two people around them are also busy. They have begun to determine more specific issues such as camera positions, lenses, lighting, etc.
The running-in of the two teams is relatively smooth.
Originally there were mainly people from Hong Kong on one side and people from the mainland on the other. Chen Linfeng was worried about conflicts between them.
After all, in the film and television industry, Hong Kong Island has a long history of discrimination against the mainland, and it cannot be eliminated in a short time.
However, in Hollywood, no matter you are from mainland China or Hong Kong Island, in the eyes of beautiful Chinese people, you all have the same identity.
Just like in the later "Beautiful Civil War", the soldiers shouted "China" and then shocked the reporter who thought he was from Hong Kong Island.
People don’t bother to distinguish them.
It is the same today.
I treat everyone equally and discriminate against everyone.
At the level of Chen Linfeng and Fang Long, no one would dare to reveal their thoughts in front of them.
However, if you go further down, you won't be very cautious.
Although on the surface, beautiful Chinese people will not show discriminatory attitudes.
But the more invisible ones, the obvious indifference and alienation, intentional or unintentional neglect, can be felt by everyone.
Because of this, the two sides are almost inseparable, and there is almost no communication between them when they are not working.
This actually made the relationship between Fang Long and Chen Linfeng's team a little better.
Coupled with the deliberate guidance of the first two big guys, a team was finally achieved.
Fang Long asked when he saw Chen Linfeng staring at the discussion crowd in a daze.
“Xiao Chen, what’s wrong?”
Chen Linfeng thought of the issues discussed during his recent communication with Lu Yang and Cao Yu, so he asked,
"Brother Fang Long, when you came to Hollywood to film, would the Long family class still be discriminated against? ?”
He only knew that his men were unhappy, but he really didn’t know what was happening on the other side.
“Oh, you said this.”
Fang Long showed a nostalgic look, “In Hollywood, my team will experience this situation basically every time they change the crew. ”
Chen Linfeng asked curiously, "Then how did you solve it?"
"There's nothing to say, it all depends on your ability."
Fang Long spread his hands and said, "What we can do, he Even if we can do things far beyond their imagination, there will be no discrimination.”
“It turns out that it is really the style of the Long Family Class.”
Chen Linfeng suddenly realized, thinking about the various life-threatening actions in Fang Long's past movies, the contribution of Long Jiaban was indispensable.
Beautiful Chinese people are still pragmatic. As long as you are awesome, they will do whatever you want.
It's just that this trick is easy for Long's class, but not for him.
Except for Lu Yang, the executive director, the rest of the people brought by Chen Linfeng are mainly lighting, photography, art, etc., departments that directly affect the quality of the film.
These people are not like the martial arts masters of the Long Family Class who directly demonstrate their abilities.
It seems that we have to find a way, at least not to affect the shooting.
Chen Linfeng thought to himself.
At this moment, Sister Mei walked in happily, holding several magazines in her hand.
She raised the magazine in her hand and shouted happily, "Xiao Feng, the latest "Times Magazine", you are on the new edition of the top 100 most influential people of the year."
" Well, it seems that nothing happened this time.”
Chen Linfeng was also a little happy.
Although I participated in a photo shoot and interview with Time Magazine last month, I knew I would be shortlisted.
But this cannot be done accurately. In fact, the second year after "Star You" was broadcast, that is, last year, he was already shortlisted, but he failed to stand out in the end.
There are also more than 200 finalists this time. Whether they can enter was still unknown before, but now the dust has finally settled.
He took a copy of "Time Magazine" and, following Sister Mei's prompts, turned to the list.
Sure enough, “LinfengChen” was on the list, ranked 58th.
"Is he the most influential person?" Fang Long asked in surprise.
He looked at Sister Mei, "Miss Sun, can you give me a copy to read?"
"Of course."
Sister Mei bought a few more copies, Just for this. After a while, Fang Long praised, "Xiao Chen, you are really amazing."
There was obvious envy in his voice.
“Director, you are so awesome.” Lu Yang looked a little excited.
"Director Xiao Chen, congratulations." Li Zhizhong, the action director of the Long Family Class, was also quite amazed.
The two of them were alerted by the actions here.
Other people in the room gradually knew what happened and began to discuss in whispers.
Chen Linfeng suppressed the corner of his mouth, waved his hand and said, "It's only 58th, not worth mentioning."
Fang Long felt that he was being shown off, and couldn't help complaining, "It was the first time I was on the list, and I rushed to 58th. What else do you want? What.”
Lu Yang also said, “Yeah, director, 58 is pretty good.”
This list has been published by Time Magazine since 2004.
Fanglong's most glorious era was around 2000, when he established his status as a front-line actor in Hollywood with "Rush Hour".
After 2004, his popularity was already declining.
Time magazine’s Top 100 Most Influential People is very time-sensitive and basically selects giants, pioneers, artists, leaders, and idols who have been extremely influential in recent years.
So Fanglong has never done this.
Chen Linfeng is on the list this time by relying on artists. This seems to be because of "Infinite World".
"Star You" is also used as an important reference factor, but it is not the main one.
Just two days later, Forbes released a list of the world's most influential celebrities.
Chen Linfeng is also on the list, ranked 60th.
This is a pure surprise.
This is the first time that someone in China has entered the list.
Two consecutive lists represent the gradual deepening of Chen Linfeng’s influence around the world.
The news spread back to China and instantly aroused discussion on the entire Internet.
“Xiao Chen didn’t do much last year, so why was he suddenly chosen to be included in the world influence list? It’s strange.”
“The person upstairs probably doesn’t pay attention to physical book publishing. , so I don’t know what it means to have 2 million sales on the first day of "Infinite World 3". This is big news around the world."
"Indeed, I studied abroad in Emily Kendall and just came back recently. , there is a lot of discussion about the novel.
As long as you like to read physical books, you don’t know that "Infinite World" is a global hit."
"It feels like it's still the result of many factors. "Star You" should account for a large proportion. If you look at the list of the Times, Rain of the Nation can squeeze into the top five thanks to "Full House" and voting. , it’s outrageous.”
“Rain is obviously voted for. His works are at least one worse than Xiao Chen’s Liu Qianqian. You can see that he is not even on the Forbes World Celebrity List. He is still worse. "
"Are you polite upstairs?"
"You are really awesome. Are you not afraid of being beaten by Xiao Chen and Tian Xian Fen?"
"I am not. It’s not okay to say Liu Qianqian, I have been a fan of Tianxian for many years, and I started from the moment she grabbed the sofa.”
"You are persecuting Sissi again. She doesn't even smile in front of the media now. No matter what you think, it's all your fault."
"..."
Not only netizens, but also domestic media are concerned about this. The reaction was even stronger.
In other words, they were the first to spread the news.
"Southern Sunday News" has never been very fond of Chen Linfeng in the past.
Although it doesn't always say bad things about him like the Yanjing Newspaper, it doesn't like to catch Xiao Chen and brag about it like other media.
But this time, it was only the reporter from Southern Zhou who ran fast.
"Southern Sunday News" quickly published a report.
The source of Chen Linfeng's income is analyzed above. Forbes' celebrity lists are all very similar, and annual income is a very important reference item.
Last year alone, he sold more than 7.5 million copies of "Infinite World 3".
Counting the other two books in the series, as well as his other novels, annual sales have steadily exceeded 10 million copies.
Just counting this, the income must be more than 20 million US dollars.
There is also the movie "Police Incident", whose global box office total reached 700 million RMB. In this case, Nan Zhou earned 15 million US dollars.
There are also TV series and various other copyright incomes. There are all kinds of income, and it is not a problem to have 40 million US dollars.
This number alone is more than enough to exceed the income at the bottom of the world celebrity list.
But who doesn't know now that Xiao Chen is very good at investing and is known as the "God of Investment".
The most obvious thing is its acquisition of Summit Entertainment, which cost more than 100 million US dollars. It has obviously more than doubled its value so far.
How could he only earn so much.
Since Forbes obviously did not delve into the income of celebrity investment, Nan Zhou was just guessing.
“According to reliable information, Xiao Chen maintained a relatively conservative investment strategy between 2008 and 2009, and his investment income should not be as high as in the past.”
Finally, I guessed a figure of "500 million" RMB, which seemed to include the peak appreciation.
It is really a very "conservative" algorithm.
In response to this point, Fang Long asked him when he saw this report from Southern Zhou.
Chen Linfeng smiled and did not say anything. Anyway, he could not tell others about his income in the future.
Should I tell you that last year I made money from a beautiful country, at least ten small goals?
As for which country's small target.
Well, that's not important.
Anyway, the money is not so easy to transfer back, so some have to wait.
