A Magician with Super Powers

Chapter 96 Forbes Interview

When Li Lekang was in the limelight, Zhu Di was about to get busy. She kept making phone calls, and various business cooperation, magazine media interviews, and TV program interviews all sprung up like mushrooms after rain.

Even if she has a team to help, she still has no time to get away. This is the enthusiasm that Li Lekang faces almost every time he becomes popular, and there are many people who are interested in him.

However, Zhu Di respects Li Lekang's opinions and has her own set of ideas: Li Lekang is not in a hurry to find money for business now, he is not short of money, but more about the precipitation of his coffee position!

Just like yesterday's large-scale New York performance show, the 80,000 spectators contributed more than 20 million US dollars in ticket sales alone!

Coupled with sponsored advertisements, TV cooperation, video comprehensive income and other items, Li Lekang's performance revenue is guaranteed to be 35 million US dollars!

Of course, this is not pure personal income, and project costs, taxes, etc. have to be deducted, but this is already a rather scary figure!

You must know that in the list of the world's highest-paid actors, the tenth place is 40 million US dollars!

And Li Lekang almost caught up with one performance.

Not to mention the surrounding consumption, temporary employment, hotel accommodation and the like that he drives. It is said that one Super Bowl can drive a combined revenue of 1 billion US dollars, Li Lekang is still nothing!

So Judy saw Li Lekang's difficult-to-replicate money-absorbing model.

He doesn't need to be tired of performances like other magicians, running around for different shows, because his high-quality performance income is comparable to that of his peers for a year!

What Li Lekang lacks now is not money, but fame, artistic honors, and awards for strength... Now the situation is a bit like Leonardo DiCaprio!

Xiao Lizi was only in his twenties when he starred in "Titanic", and he already dominated the box office all over the world, fascinated many women, but he accompanied him all the way until he was in his forties, and finally won the Oscar winner.

Li Lekang's situation is very similar. He became popular all over the country at a young age, and even the world has heard about it, but there is only one honor on him, the champion of the talent show.

Moreover, this is a very variety title, with little authority.

He is not like other seniors, such as the Emmy Award, the champion of the World Magic Convention, and even the Magician of the Year awarded by the academy...he has none of them!

Although these titles and awards are just false names, they do not affect Li Lekang's popularity and income.

However, just like any popular actor, he is eager to win the Oscar winner (later).

So he also wanted to win the championship in the three-year World Magic Conference, in the competition of all magic masters, to put gold on his face.

I also want to win the annual award from the "Hollywood Academy of Magic and Art", which is known as the highest hall, so that the news media can introduce myself in the future and report this proud title.

Judy considered many aspects, so she didn't randomly accept business activities for Li Lekang, and declined many interviews and programs.

Unless it's those particularly big-name shows, the Jimmy Tonight Show and the Ellen Show can be arranged, but Li Lekang feels that he doesn't have enough talking stuff, so he doesn't want to go on for the time being.

As for magazines, "Time" is definitely the ideal target, otherwise "Forbes" is also possible. The latter is said to be interested in him, and Judy is approaching him.

There is also the consideration of world-class superstars. Global tour performances have always been thought about. Li Lekang has a relatively loose schedule recently, and Judy has already started preparing for the next show.

According to the established procedures, Li Lekang's next stop is going to China.

After all, wealth and honor do not return to their hometowns, just like traveling at night in brocade clothes.

Although it is not the same world anymore, Li Lekang still wants to go back and show a few shows.

However, performing in China is more complicated than imagined, requiring various visa procedures, various media permits, and approval from the Ministry of Culture.

It is also necessary to cooperate with a brokerage company with foreign-related qualifications, which is not something that can be said to leave immediately.

Judy began to collect the list of team members, and unified to apply for visas and apply for performance activities from now on, but it is estimated that they will not be able to leave until after Christmas or New Year.

Li Lekang doesn't need to worry about this. He is only responsible for considering a few unique magic tricks that can reflect the characteristics of Chinese culture at the same time. The programs produced are good-looking. (ps: There are not many materials, you can make some suggestions)

But it's only October now, so there's still a long time for him to prepare!

After this performance that made him a god, various business opportunities came one after another!

What kind of endorsements, commercials, and even want Li Lekang to film, but Judy thinks it is not too reliable, most of them declined.

The big stars in the United States usually don’t accept commercials indiscriminately, or they go in different directions. They are mostly in the high-end field. For example, Chanel invited actresses to come out, so Judy also pays attention to quality.

Li Lekang is also not interested in blindly accepting advertisements, and he is also very selective about appearing on shows and accepting interviews. He has a very good reputation now, and any performance is widely acclaimed.

It can also be said that there is an idol burden!

Because you can't be a top magician, but accept an advertisement for AD calcium milk, right?

It's not that it's bad, it's just that it's a bit... not quite right!

During the event in New York, Judy helped him accept an interview with Forbes.

As a well-known economic magazine in the United States, in fact, the scope of coverage is not only economics and finance, but also Forbes often talks about the annual salary income ranking of various entertainment stars and sports stars, and business development models.

Li Lekang is a very representative industry pioneer who has recently exploded - the magician.

Forbes usually pays more attention to sports stars and entertainment stars, but the emergence of Li Lekang makes them impossible to ignore!

First of all, its ability to attract money can be said to be unprecedented. A performance in New York brought in 35 million US dollars, and a talent show competition also took 10 million US dollars. Then other commercial performances and TV broadcasts cost millions. A few, these are all numb wealth figures... With a relatively low frequency of activities, he has acquired wealth beyond the reach of his peers!

Of course there is the topic of wealth.

So on a sunny afternoon, in the Ritz-Carlton Hotel, Li Lekang was interviewed by the "Forbes" media.

In the camera, he is dressed in a suit and leather shoes, with his hair combed back in a vigorous manner. At first glance, he looks a bit like a gambler.

Of course, he doesn't mind telling the media how he used magic to beat casinos in the past.

The atmosphere of the interview was very pleasant, because Li Lekang's popularity was high enough, the media gave him enough time, from childhood to adulthood, from career to planning, and then to some of his unknown secrets.

Like he actually beat the casino with tricks.

He also revealed that his magic does use high technology.

As for whether he has witchcraft?

Li Lekang smiled after hearing this: "If you think I can change a poker card into your pocket and take it out from the air, yes, I have it!"

These words made the reporter take out his own pocket unexpectedly, and in the end he really had to take out a poker card signed with Li Lekang’s name. He was surprised at first, and then smiled when he thought of the hug they had when they met: “Now I believe You have it!"

The world is like this, the more you try to tell people, the more suspicious they will be!

Li Lekang is willing to maintain his sense of mystery, a method that makes people scratch their heads and have no solution, and his thousands of fans also like the invincible sense he brings!
