Huayu 2007, Cultivation Superstar

Chapter 181 I want to be on the Spring Festival Gala!
……

of course.

It would be useless even if Lu Feng bought the house opposite.

There is still no solution to the problem of parking spaces.

"Mom, when you have time, you can go and see the new house..."

Although the location of this house is very good, it is indeed a bit old. It is almost 20 years old and it is about time to move.

Lu Feng's attitude of buying a house as if it were cabbage made his mother a little curious.

At this moment, her mother couldn't help but ask: "Son, tell me the truth, is being a star really that profitable?"

"Okay."

Lu Feng smiled and boasted a little: "For next month's "Chinese Paladin III", Tangren offered me 4 per episode. After careful calculation, it's almost 150 million in revenue. Even after deducting taxes, there's still a lot left."

After the filming of "Chinese Paladin III" was completed, it was already the end of the year.

After that, Lu Feng didn’t have any additional activities.

Now, he can calculate his income for this year.

In this day and age, it is almost impossible to make money as a singer...The copyright income from his songs can only barely cover the marketing expenses.

His main income from singing comes from commercial performances during holidays.

This year, his commercial performance fee has increased, close to 10 per show, mainly because his fame soared after the MV of "Lie" was broadcast last month.

Thanks to Zhao Ruoyao's help in attracting business for him, he earned 50 yuan from commercial performances last month alone.

Being an actor doesn't actually make much money.

"The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was filmed last year and I only made 7 yuan, which was all spent on food and drinks.

"Chinese Paladin III", because he had appeared on CCTV Lantern Festival Gala, was a famous writer, and was a popular singer, and Mr. Cai from Tangren had something to ask of him, so they offered him 4 per episode.

Hugo is also priced at this price.

As for Liu Shishi, Tangren only paid her 2 yuan per episode for the project of "Chinese Paladin III". After filming the whole drama, the amount she earned was not even as much as the pocket money Lu Feng gave her last Valentine's Day.

For Lu Feng, the bulk of his income this year actually comes from royalties!
Ling Yiyao's novel sold about 150 million copies in one year, with a 10% royalty and each copy priced at 16 yuan, which earned him about 200 million yuan.

The novel "The Accidental Murder" was published last month and its sales were explosive. The publisher finally estimated that it could sell around 200 to 300 million copies.

It is estimated that it can bring Lu Feng three to four million in royalties.

In addition, Zhao Ruoyao is helping Lu Feng negotiate several endorsement projects... As long as he can successfully negotiate two of them, Lu Feng's annual income should be able to exceed 10 million.

In this day and age, anyone with an annual income exceeding 10 million yuan can almost be included in the Forbes celebrity rankings.

Of course, the ranking will not be too high, probably between 30 and 40.

But even so, it is a good result for a newcomer like Lu Feng.

"This is only your second year in the entertainment industry, and you've already earned tens of millions? This industry is really lucrative!"

After listening to Lu Feng's detailed introduction, my mother couldn't help but feel deeply moved.

Being a celebrity seems to be more profitable than running a company.

Because Lu Feng's income basically comes from him personally...there is no such thing as heavy asset investment.

"Mom, this is just the beginning. In two years, you'll see how much money you can make as a celebrity. Let me be frank, an average listed company, purely in terms of profits, may not be able to compare to a popular celebrity."

Lu Feng could only say a few simple words.

He didn't tell his mother that the money he earned in the entertainment industry was nothing at all, just a little pocket money for him.

The bulk of his income comes from short selling in the financial market.

However, after this conversation, my mother felt much better.

Anyway, since Lu Feng, his son, is so good at making money, let his father's company make losses.

If he thought about it carefully, if his father had not been in Urumqi, Lu Feng would not have gone there last summer vacation, nor would he have met Daolang. He might not have entered the entertainment industry and would not have made so much money.

Good fortune follows misfortune, and misfortune follows good fortune.

"By the way, son, The Legend of the Condor Heroes is about to air. Can you play Yang Kang in it?"

If Lu Feng played Guo Jing in the drama, he could imagine that his mother would definitely call all relatives and friends on the day the TV series was released, and might even not let go of his elementary school classmates.

We will definitely inform them and ask them to watch "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" on time at 7 o'clock on the evening of July 19.

But Lu Feng plays Yang Kang...

This is a villain.

This made my mother feel a little complicated.

"Mom, I don't know if it will work. I haven't seen the finished film."

Lu Feng was also embarrassed.

However, it is already very good to be able to play the second male lead in his first work.

Who cares if he's a villain or not.

"Forget it, I won't embarrass you. I've seen many versions of The Legend of the Condor Heroes, so I have a rough idea of ​​what Yang Kang is like."

Looking at Lu Feng's expression, Mom knew immediately that the character of Yang Kang was definitely not a good person. "What about the filming of Chinese Paladin 3 next month? You're not going to be the villain again this time, are you?"

"Mom, don't worry this time. The character I play in the film is called Xu Changqing. Super handsome, wearing white clothes and holding a long sword, with extraordinary bearing, and taking the people of the world as his own responsibility. He is the 23rd generation leader of Shushan! A true light of righteousness!"

Lu Feng still likes the character of Xu Changqing very much.

The most important thing is that this character looks even more handsome than the protagonist Hu Ge.

Coupled with the [Handsome Man in Ancient Costume] medal he just received, it adds a lot of blessing to his performance in costume dramas.

Once the TV series is broadcast, Lu Feng can imagine that he will probably become the ancient costume god of this era!

The four most handsome men in this era must have their own place!
Maybe, I'll even be at the top of the list!

"Xu Changqing is a good character. I can tell he's more charming than Yang Kang."

My mother was very satisfied with Xu Changqing's role. She smiled happily and asked a few words of concern: "Son, what do you want to eat tomorrow? How about braised pork?"

But after asking, my mother immediately regretted her decision: "Forget it. I heard that actors have to maintain a good figure. What if I feed you too much and you get fat, and then you join the crew and the director dislikes you, that would be bad."

"Mom, one or two meals is okay."

Lu Feng was really about to cry.

Since he had been eating and drinking with Reba for a long time, he had to consider Reba's mood and hadn't eaten braised pork for a long time.

He really missed this taste.

It would have been fine if my mom hadn't mentioned it, but since she's already brought it up, how can she still regret it?
"Mom, I'll only be staying at home for a week. After a while, I'm going to Chengdu on a business trip to shoot a music video. So, you don't have to worry about me gaining weight."

Lu Feng is just a small-time star who just debuted, not even third-rate.

But even so, his schedule is very busy.

This is on the premise that he deliberately turned down many offline business activities, and just focused on the two major businesses of singing and filming, which made him run around.

Throughout the year, I don’t have much time for myself.

"Okay. During these few days at home, Mom will treat you well. My dear son, you have worked hard to make money. Whether Mom can live in a mansion in this life is all counting on you."

When my mother heard that Lu Feng was leaving next week, she felt a little reluctant to let him go.

……

This week at home.

Lu Feng was not idle either.

The main reason was that his father couldn't sit still, so he started his second round of entrepreneurship.

The more my dad thought about the brand [Three Squirrels], the more he became interested in it. He went to register it with the Industrial and Commercial Bureau the next day.

In addition, he also took Lu Feng to Lin'an to meet his partners.

Lu Feng didn’t understand at first why his father wanted to drag him into starting a business?
At the dinner table, my father explained that the pecan project they started was actually a local agricultural assistance project.

As long as the project is launched, the agricultural department’s special subsidy funds for rural revitalization will be in place within minutes.

At this moment, Lu Feng immediately understood his father's good intentions.

Since he has chosen to be a star, if he could get involved in some public welfare projects in the initial stage, especially the agricultural assistance projects in his hometown... it would undoubtedly be a huge boost to his public image, especially on the official side.

Later, after my dad’s project is launched, there will inevitably be various official reports. As long as Lu Feng’s name is mentioned a few times, it is equivalent to positive publicity!

The corresponding one is...

If Blueberry Channel has any activities in the future, such as a singing variety show, they will need one or two guests.

Lu Feng can directly get an internal quota.

Lu Feng had used this tactic once in Shanghai, and it worked quite well.

He was directly sent to the CCTV Lantern Festival Gala.

"Dad, you should start the Three Squirrels project first and inspect the factory first. In two months, I'll give you some money! Let's make this agricultural aid project bigger!"

The bigger this project is, the more people it benefits, and the more powerful the official reports will naturally be.

Maybe, by the end of the year, the provincial propaganda department will make a little effort and directly recommend Lu Feng to perform on the Spring Festival Gala.

It takes a lot of effort for ordinary stars to perform on the Spring Festival Gala.

Unless it is extremely popular and liked by people all over the country.

At this stage, it is still quite difficult for Lu Feng to reach this step.

Even if "Chinese Paladin III" is broadcast, he may not be qualified.

However, if the provincial propaganda department gives him a green channel and internally recommends him to perform on the Spring Festival Gala, then it would be equivalent to him skipping all the competition links and rising in one step.

Last time, Lu Feng received 1000 million positive reviews at the CCTV Lantern Festival Gala. If he could participate in the main program of the Spring Festival Gala this time, he couldn't imagine how many positive reviews he would get.

What if, by chance, he got tens of millions of praise points, Lu Feng would be in a dilemma... Should he continue saving, collect 1 million points, and draw an S treasure chest?
Or should I draw a few A-level treasure chests at once?

Haha!

The earlier the Spring Festival Gala starts, the better.

In a few years, the ratings won’t be as high as they are now.
