On September 20, Forbes released the "2017 Chinese Celebrities List".

This year's list was released extremely early, and the time selected was also quite special, from July 2016 to June 2017, so a lot of data will overlap with last year's list.

Gu Wei is undoubtedly still number one, with a statistical income of 400 million yuan.

This number is undoubtedly inaccurate. Even if remuneration is not included, Gu Wei's new endorsement fees in the past year far exceed the data released by Forbes.

However, most of his income is kept secret, and it is normal for Forbes' statistics to be inaccurate.

There is also no change in the second place, which is firmly held by Fan Bingbing. Last year's income was 300 million.

In terms of income, he ranks third behind Gu Wei and Cheng Long, who has an income of 330 million.

Her exposure rate far exceeds that of Brother Cheng Long. After all, she is known as a woman who lives on hot searches, and there are all kinds of hype news.

After "I'm Not Pan Jinlian" allowed her to resume acting, the female-themed TV series "Win the World" she starred in and invested in became popular before it was aired, attracting Tmall Technology to buy its exclusive online broadcast rights at a sky-high price of 480 million, which has a strong ability to attract money.

The third and fourth places are Yang Mi and Zhao Liying respectively. Needless to say, these two are undoubtedly the two most popular female stars in domestic entertainment besides Bingbing.

Damimi holds the hit TV series "Three Lives, Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossom" and is known as "There will be no Bai Qian after Yang Mi".

Zhao Liying, on the other hand, has starred in "Riding the Wind and Waves", "The Legend of Chu Qiao", and "The Seventy-Two-Story Strange Building", and her movies, TV series, and variety shows are all in full bloom.

The two are also similar in terms of income, with Yang Mi earning 200 million and Zhao Liying earning 190 million.

The fifth place is Lu Han. As the most popular top male under the younger generation Gu Wei, his popularity has always been very high. Coupled with the blessing of [Running Man], he is ranked lower than Zhao Liying with an income of 210 million.

Brother Cheng Long is ranked sixth. Except for the time when his works are released, the older brother is not as exposed as young people, so even though his income is as high as 330 million, he still failed to enter the top five.

Zeng Li unexpectedly ranked seventh on the celebrity list this year. This is the first time she has entered the top ten of the Forbes celebrity list since she entered the industry.

In fact, it is very reasonable. Andy in [Ode to Joy 1 and 2], Gao Xiaoqin in [In the Name of the People], and Tang Jing in [My First Half of Life], the important roles in the three hit dramas have made Zeng's national popularity soar in the past two years. .

Although her annual income is only 90 million, which is the lowest among the top ten, she still ranks in front of Baby, Jay Chou and Li Jiaheng.

Zhang Tianai and Nazha from Gu Wei Company failed to enter the top ten, ranking within 20.

Reba, who just became popular this year, jumped from 72nd last year to 21st, making rapid progress.

"It's a pity that this list is based on June this year. Otherwise, Wu Jing would definitely be in the top three, and Zhang Tianai would also be in the top ten.

Brother Chao and his wife are very stable, 12th and 13th. They seemed to have similar rankings last year.

I remember last year Huang Xiaoming was seventh and baby eighth. In less than a year, baby has not changed, and Xiaoming has dropped to 16th place.

This is because I focus on protecting my beloved wife and don’t pay much attention to my own career.”

Gu Wei was sitting in the office, holding a fresh celebrity list in his hand and expressing his opinion.

"Boss" Not long after, Yang Liwen knocked on the door and came in.

"Sister Yang, there are two things you need to do," Gu Wei put down the list in his hand and ordered directly.

"I have selected two novels from the company's copyright library. You can take them to the screenwriting department and ask them to adapt them into TV series scripts as soon as possible."

Yang Liwen glanced at the two books on her desk. [Half-Demon Si Teng] She remembered that it was the copyright that Gu Wei asked her to buy at the end of last year.

The other copy [Donggong] seems to have been bought two years after the company was first established, which is quite far back.

"Is this the next project our company will launch?"

Since it is going to be adapted into a script, the boss must be planning to film these two TV series.

"It's almost the same, but don't worry, just prepare slowly. According to my plan, these two dramas will be filmed next year."

"The director's side"

“This is also the main thing I came to you for.

When the script comes out, you go to a director named Li Muge and invite him to direct our company's next project. "As he said this, Gu Wei hesitated for a moment, then picked up [Half-Demon Si Teng]

“Take this one first!”

"Li Muge?" Yang Liwen thought for a while.

"I know that this director doesn't seem to have a professional background. He has been filming urban emotional dramas before, and he doesn't seem to have any outstanding works."

As an old woman who has been in the entertainment industry for more than 20 years, Yang Liwen has heard of her name even if most directors don't know her.

Gu Wei smiled.

"I know. I heard that Director Li was a top student majoring in computer science at Peking University. He later entered the film and television industry by chance.

He first followed director Gao Xixi, and it was only in these years that he directed TV series independently.

I've seen Director Li's work and think he can do a good job in company dramas! "

"Si Teng" and "Donggong" are both works by Li Muge. This director is very good at using colors and is especially good at capturing the most beautiful side of women.

In these two TV series of the original time and space, Li Muge used his unique lens language to show the most beautiful sides of Da Tiantian and Peng Xiaoran, which was very good.

Of course, he is also the director of Mr. Yang Yang's "My Worldly Fireworks".

But to be honest, the investor of "Human Fireworks" is Yue Kai Entertainment. As the lead actor and investor, Mr. Yang Yang has too much say and interfered in the filming for the sake of his handsome image.

Director Li couldn't show his skills on the male and female protagonists, so he put all his efforts on the obedient Wei Daxun. The result was that Yang Yang fell and Daxun was full.

A TV series with a very bad reputation actually made an actor who is almost the third and fourth male star become famous.

Yang Liwen nodded and picked up two novels from the desk.

"By the way, Wanda will probably contact our company recently to discuss the arrangement of [Nezha] for the Spring Festival. You should do a good job in the coordination."

"Okay, boss"

After handling some matters at the company in the morning, Gu Wei went downstairs to [Wei Mingxia Animation Production Company].

"Mr. Gu~"

"Hello, Mr. Gu"

"."

The employees were busy along the way, and when they saw him as the boss, they stopped to say hello, and Gu Wei nodded in response.

"Mr. Gu, you are here~

Any orders? "Director Dumpling in the office was talking to his staff when he saw Gu Wei coming in and hurried up.

"I'm not disturbing your work."

"No, no, [Yang Jian] is currently in the preparation stage and is not too busy."

The production of "Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes into the World" has been completed, and director Jiaozi's team also took a break for a while. When they come back, they are ready to start another project of "Animation Production Company".

Previously, they were also hesitating about what theme to choose for the next animated movie. The candidates include [Jiang Ziya], [Yang Jian], [Lei Zhenzi] and other major characters in Fengshen.

Later, Gu Wei decided that the company's second animated film after "Nezha" would be "Yang Jian".

"I heard from the screenwriting department that you have sent back several versions of the scripts they provided. Didn't you find any that you liked?"

"It's not that I didn't like it. Several versions of the script actually have merits, but I always feel that something is missing.

Just like the previous production of "Nezha", although it tells the story of Nezha's growth, the core idea is still "a person's origin does not determine his future." Ao Bing is the reincarnation of a spiritual bead but does bad things, and Nezha is a magic pill. Reincarnation can do good things.

The story is relatively simple, but the thoughts are very profound.

[Yang Jian]’s several versions of the script looked very enjoyable, but the core was always a little thinner.”

The dumpling director scratched his head and explained to Gu Wei.

"Haha. You are right.

I have also read several versions of the script, which are basically adaptations of traditional mythological stories such as Yang Jian's "Splitting the Mountain to Save His Mother", "Carrying the Mountain to Catch the Sun", and "Beheading the Jiao and Capturing the Dragon". Compared with "Nezha", it is indeed a bit less interesting.

You can communicate more with the screenwriting department. After all, they are professional in designing stories.

Now the main reason is that you are not satisfied with the script, and they don’t know where the problem lies, and they can’t improve it better.”

"It's true that I was negligent. I'll have a chat with Manager Chen from their department later."

After listening to Gu Wei's words, Diaozi realized his problem and quickly admitted his mistake.

Gu Wei nodded and suddenly noticed the drawing paper he had been holding in his hand.

"Is this the new image you started designing?"

“Ah, that’s right, although the specific story has not yet been determined, we have already started preparing to design Yang Jian’s image.

At present, the team has created more than 30 different images, including young Yang Jian and young Yang Jian."

While talking, Jiaozi began to take Gu Wei to visit the various versions of Yang Jian's design drafts on the drawing paper in the studio.

"These are not all. The company's painters are still creating new images, including handsome ones, rough ones and solemn ones. There are all kinds of them. When the time comes, we will choose the right image according to the specific story. .

When we first produced [Nezha], we designed 100 versions, including Yang Jian."

The professional guards of dumplings are very recognized.

"This production shouldn't take as long as three years, right?"

"No, with the experience of [Nezha] and sufficient personnel and funds, I am confident that the production time of this film can be shortened by half."

“Okay, the most urgent task now is to finalize the script.

Director Yang, I have been working hard for you to visit the screenwriting department of the film and television company in the past few days. I will also instruct Manager Chen to focus on our film [Yang Jian] and strive to get a suitable script as soon as possible."

“No problem boss”

In the afternoon, after leaving the company, Gu Wei took a car to a high-end villa area between the East Fourth Ring Road and the East Fifth Ring Road.

This is the residence of Deng Chao and his wife in the capital. Brother Chao also invited him to come over as a guest today, which can be regarded as fulfilling his promise at the Golden Rooster Award.

After ringing the doorbell, not long after, the door was opened from the inside.

"Brother Chao."

"Come here, don't you need anything else?" The person who opened the door was Deng Chao, who was wearing light gray loose home clothes.

He took the gift from Gu Wei and let him into the house with a smile.

"What are all these things?"

"The bird's nest is for Sister Li, and the remaining ginseng, deer antler, and Ganoderma lucidum are for you. You can make it into wine and drink it. It's a great tonic!"

"Ahem. With my strength, I can't use these things at all, but because of your kindness, I can only reluctantly accept them." Deng Chao said in a pretentious manner, and then happily took the things from Gu Wei. Put it in the cupboard aside.

Gu Wei changed into his slippers and followed Deng Chao into the house.

"Gu Wei~"

"Brother Wei~"

In the living room, Chen He and Lu Han had already arrived and were sitting on the sofa eating fruit and watching TV.

Sitting next to Lu Han was someone very familiar to Gu Wei.

"Xiaotong, why are you here?"

"Brother Wei." Guan Xiaotong greeted Gu Wei sheepishly.

"You guys." In fact, Gu Wei knew what was going on when he saw Guan Xiaotong, and he raised his eyebrows at Lu and Han.

"Brother Wei, Xiaotong is my girlfriend now." Seeing that his girlfriend was embarrassed, Lu Han, who was sitting next to her, came out to explain.

"When did it happen? I remember when we were recording Running Man in Prague, Xiaolu, you said you didn't have a girlfriend, right?"

"I didn't have a girlfriend at the time. If I didn't go back to China to film [Sweetness], I would have a girlfriend."

"You guys are really fast"

"They obviously fell in love at first sight, and then they got out of hand." Chen He said while sitting on the sofa on the other side and eating an orange.

"Gu Wei is here." Gu Wei wanted to say something else, but Sun Li, wearing an apron, came out of the kitchen to greet him.

"Sister Li."

"You sit down first and chat with Xiaolu and the others for a while. You'll be ready to eat later."

"Thank you for your hard work, Sister Li."

"You're welcome, it's just like home."

When Sun Li was talking, Deng Chao stood behind her invisible side and made an expression to Gu Wei, meaning whether I was awesome or not, my status was high.

Gu Wei glanced at him with a smile, and Sun Li also noticed it and turned to look at her husband.

Deng Chao immediately became serious again.

"Daughter-in-law, you go make the dishes first. I'll chat with them for a while and then go over and help you."

Sun Li obviously knew what her husband was like, so she didn't want to expose him. She turned around and walked towards the kitchen with a smile.

"How about it, do I have a good status in the family?" Deng Chao watched his wife leave and raised his eyebrows to show off in front of Gu Wei with a proud look on his face.

"Niu, it seems like Sister Li always listens to you?"

"It goes without saying that I always say that I am the head of the family!" Deng Chao boasted arrogantly.

"Yes, Brother Chao always says one thing at home," Chen He added with a smile, "Sister Li says one thing, but he will never say another thing. He says one thing!"

After he finished speaking, Gu Wei, Lu Han, and Guan Xiaotong laughed.

"What do you know? I respect my wife and have the excellent moral character of a good man."

When Deng Chao saw that no one believed his boast, he tried to explain it more clearly.

"Chen He, don't you listen to your wife?"

"Well, let me listen." Chen He said that others were very happy, and when it was his turn, the result was the same.

"Will Xiaolu listen to Xiaotong?" Next it was Lu Han's turn.

"This." Lu Han and Guan Xiaotong looked at each other.

"We will discuss everything." Before he could say anything, Guan Xiaotong said it for him first.

"Yes, let's discuss it."

"What are you still discussing? Isn't this just what Xiaotong said?" Chen He exposed Lu Han again.

The deer smiled and scratched his head, a little embarrassed.

The few chatted for a while, and Deng Chao went to the kitchen to help, leaving four people, Gu and Wei, in the living room.

"Are you two planning to make it official, or will you continue to have an underground relationship?" Gu Wei asked, looking at Lu Han and Guan Xiaotong.

“I don’t think we need to rush to make an official announcement yet. We are both on the rise in our careers, and we are worried about the impact after the official announcement.

The main thing is that I’m afraid it will have an impact on him.”

Guan Xiaotong spoke first.

"We do have some differences on this matter. I think falling in love is not a big deal. Nowadays, there are many stars in the entertainment industry falling in love or even getting married.

And I don’t really want to be secretive, there’s nothing wrong with admitting it openly.”

Lu Han shrugged.

"Xiaolu's idea is very manly, but what Xiaotong said does make sense.

There are many actors who fall in love, but Xiaolu, you have too many female fans, many of whom are girlfriend fans. After the official announcement, your popularity will definitely be hit.

Of course, there are pros and cons, and a generous admission will also have a certain positive impact on your reputation. After all, everyone likes responsible men."

"Let's think about it again." The two of them looked at each other without saying anything.

Not long after, the food for Deng Chao and his wife was ready, and everyone began to eat together.

“Thank you Brother Chao and Sister Li for your hospitality. This dish is so delicious.

At the same time, congratulations again to Brother Chao for winning the Golden Rooster Best Actor! "

"Congratulations to Brother Chao!"

"Congratulations!"

At the dinner table, Gu Wei raised a glass and made a toast, and everyone responded.

"Thank you, thank you all. We are all family members, so there is no need to be too polite. Just have a good meal and drink today!" Deng Chao happily picked up the wine glass. "Of course, the main thing is to thank my wife for the delicious dishes she cooked today and for her usual hard work."

As he spoke, Deng Chao turned to look at Sun Li beside him.

"Daughter-in-law, half of my trophy is due to you."

Sun Li looked at Deng Chao's sudden emotion and smiled without saying anything. She was already used to her husband's character.

Lu Han and Chen He were booing around him.

"Brother Chao, I feel like you are taking advantage of Sister Li," Gu Wei said.

"How?" Deng Chao didn't know why.

"Look, you have just won the Golden Rooster Best Actor. Sister Li has already won the Golden Eagle Award twice, the Magnolia Award twice, and countless other awards. Your subtext is to tell her that those awards of yours also have Husband is half of me.”

"Well, there's nothing wrong with saying that. Wife, when you won the first Magnolia Award, I went to receive it for you.

So your military medal is half of my contribution."

Seeing Deng Chao's mean expression, Sun Li felt helpless.

"It's all thanks to you"
