Chapter 222 Netflix's largest individual shareholder, Liu Yifei in the RV

In a blink of an eye, another month passed.

It has been two months since "Joker" was officially released in the United States.

Nowadays, it is still screened sporadically in a few countries and regions.

In most countries and regions, it has been completely removed from theaters.

In the end, the domestic box office in the United States just reached 4 million US dollars.

The box office outside the United States reached 5.4 million US dollars.

The global box office totaled $9.4 million.

The audiovisual and streaming rights of "Joker" were once again sold to Netflix.

Today's videotape market has passed its peak and is beginning to decline slowly.

The final box office and audience of "Joker" were not as good as "Iron Man".

However, "Joker" is an R-rated movie.

The reputation is so explosive again.

Plus Xu Yi's Oscar-winning acting skills.

It is foreseeable that this movie will not be forgotten for a long time to come.

In other words, there is a great possibility that a long tail effect will occur.

Therefore, the audio-visual copyright of "Joker" was eventually sold for 7000 million US dollars.

Only 1000 million meters less than "Iron Man".

Streaming media copyright is calculated at $3 per play.

That's $1 million less than the price of Iron Man.

But it is still much higher than the price of other movies.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that Xu Yi is a major individual shareholder of Netflix and Xu Yi's fame.

And now, the number of views of "Iron Man" on Netflix streaming media members has exceeded 600 million.

It is calculated based on 4 meters for each playback volume.

Netflix needs to pay Xu Yi a full 2400 million US dollars.

But Netflix is ​​not losing money.

Before "Iron Man" was released on streaming media, Netflix had 600 million members.

Now, after one year of development, the number of members has reached nearly 900 million.

The market value has increased from 17 billion US dollars to 23 billion US dollars.

At the same time, the total amount of 9400 million US dollars to be paid to Xu Yi this time will still be paid in the form of shares.

$9400 million is currently equivalent to about 4.1% of Netflix shares.

Add to the previous 4.7%.

Xu Yi now owns a total of 8.8% of Netflix shares.

He has undoubtedly become Netflix's largest individual shareholder.

……

12 month 6 number.

Beijing Happy Valley Grand Theater.

In the parking lot, on the RV.

After a swallowing sound, Liu Yifei quickly stood up and ran into the bathroom.

The ninth singing competition between China and South Korea will be held here today.

Liu Yifei is now a world-renowned "Asian little queen".

Although he is actually an American citizen.

But he was still invited by CCTV to represent China in this singing competition.

Liu Yifei was born and raised in the country.

Nowadays, most of my time and work are in the country.

The most important thing is that the so-called Chinese and Korean national anthems have a certain political color.

But it's not that serious.

It is normal to take advantage of Liu Yifei's popularity for the sake of ratings.

Of course, the person CCTV most wants to invite is definitely Xu Yi.

But Xu Yi would definitely not perform in person at a party of this level.

However, considering that Liu Yifei worked so hard, he agreed to come and show his face as an audience member.

"Really? I still have to sing later!"

Liu Yifei, who came out of the bathroom, couldn't help but frown and complain.

But then she took the initiative to sit across Xu Yi's legs and put her arms around his neck.

CCTV hopes that Xu Yi can appear at tonight's party to shock those Korean singers.

She also wanted Xu Yi to support her.

Xu Yi agreed, but put forward a condition.

Just let her wear her performance costume and do what she did just now.

She agreed without any hesitation.

You have to know that more than a month ago, when she was with Jing Tian and Yang Mi.

Not only did she try various methods to please him.

Under the leadership of Jing Tian and Yang Mi, two bad friends.

She was even wearing a maid outfit, kneeling at the door with them, calling him "Master" and welcoming him.

It was also videotaped.

So this kind of thing is nothing to her.

Unexpectedly, Xu Yi managed to hold on from the moment he got on the bus to the moment he got off!
Almost a full hour!
And she knew very well that Xu Yi definitely did it on purpose!

"Tsk, it's just lip syncing, you don't have to sing for real."

Xu Yi said disdainfully.

The national anthem performances of China and South Korea were promoted with a strong atmosphere.

It's not actually a real race.

Of course, it is not necessary to sing live.

"Yes, yes, you are the best, okay!"

Liu Yifei rolled her eyes at him.

Do you think she doesn't want to sing for real?

That was all arranged by the organizer!
Even if she could lip-sync, she definitely wouldn't want to sing for real...

There was no way, after she had practiced for so long.

I can finally sing the two songs "tiktok" and "The Wind Rises".

Although it certainly can't perform as well as in the album, at least it can't be considered a car accident scene.

But that was when I was standing still.

This is how she sang when she participated in shows and activities in the United States before.

But "The Wind Rises" is okay.

Without dance, tiktok would lack a lot of charm.

And if it is accompanied by dance, then you can only lip sync.

However, this situation is very common even in the United States.

For example, Britney Spears, who is known as the last superstar in the United States, lip-synced on stage.

Or is it lip-syncing that everyone knows and accepts.

Then the two of them were affectionate again.

Liu Yifei and Xu Yi got out of the RV together. The concert was to begin at 7: pm.

But it was Liu Yifei's first time performing at such an evening party.

Plus I have to put on makeup.

So I came a little early.

It was just a little after 6 o'clock.

But when Xu Yi brought Liu Yifei to the backstage.

I found that many Chinese singers had already arrived.

But Xu Yi didn’t see any real big-name singers.

The singing competitions of China and South Korea are held once a year, with the two countries taking turns hosting the event.

This time it is held in China.

On the surface, it is also to enhance the friendship between the two countries.

But to be honest, as the Celestial Empire.

China certainly does not really attach that much importance to its friendship with South Korea.

CCTV is just doing its job.

It is impossible to really invite a large number of big names, or even top singers.

Including CCTV's desire to invite Xu Yi, it was more for ratings.

And give those Korean singers a warning.

Instead of really taking this concert seriously.

But it’s different in South Korea.

Every singing party.

Especially the singing competitions held in China.

There will basically be a large number of big-name singers coming from South Korea.

For example, at this year’s singing competition, the “Bandit Queen” Lee Jung-hyun came again.

You can tease her by calling her the "Bandit Queen".

But her status in South Korea and even in the whole of Asia cannot be questioned.

She is definitely worthy of the title of Asian Queen.

Another queen-level singer from South Korea, Baek Ji-young, is also here.

The most popular Korean boy band "TVXQ" is also here.

After all, South Korea is a small country with a population of only 5000 million.

The domestic entertainment industry is so developed.

This means that there are many actors, stars and idols.

The competition is naturally fierce.

Even though South Korea's economy is pretty good.

But it is still far from enough to support such a developed entertainment industry.

Therefore, South Korea also attaches great importance to foreign markets.

Sometimes it is even more important than the domestic market.

Just like in Xu Yi’s previous life, the Korean country initially attached the most importance to the Chinese market.

Many Korean celebrities and artists come to China to make money.

With strong business capabilities and prices that are much lower than those of domestic celebrities, it is simply the king of cost-effectiveness.

The Chinese celebrities are all over the place.

Many Korean celebrities have also taken the initiative to learn Chinese.

However, this also brought many negative impacts to China.

For example, the erosion of Korean culture.

Especially the erosion of the fresh meat culture.

It just so happens that domestic stars can’t compare to Korean stars.

So later, taking advantage of a certain incident, a "stick restriction order" was directly issued.

Don’t allow these Korean stars to come to China to make money.

I would also like to add that the "fresh meat" culture is not a native culture of South Korea.

But it’s those brainless fans in China who prefer young and handsome guys.

That's why South Korea produces these in batches.

Later, as they were unable to make money in China, Korean celebrities had to turn to Europe and the United States.

The style also began to become more European and American.

But this is normal.

After all, this country doesn't have any real culture of its own.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have been thinking about taking the culture of China for myself.

At this time, several Chinese singers came over and greeted Xu Yi.

His attitude is also very humble.

Although these singers are not really big-name singers.

But I can represent China and participate in singing competitions in South Korea.

It is certainly impossible that he is a completely unknown person.

Many of them can be considered Xu Yi’s “predecessors”.

For example, Sha Baoliang.

Xu Yi’s first drama "Tian Long" had not yet been broadcast.

He became very popular for a while thanks to his pension insurance movie "Anxiang".

Later, when the album "Anxiang" was released, it coincided with the release of Xu Yi's first album.

The results speak for themselves.

Although the sales volume is not low, it has definitely been affected to a great extent.

At that time, Sha Baoliang was also very unhappy with Xu Yi.

But now, even if he is still unhappy.

He didn't dare to show it in front of Xu Yi.

Otherwise, let alone anything else, with Xu Yi's current influence and number of fans.

Once Xu Yi is offended, he will definitely be boycotted by his fans.

Don’t even mention whether his new album sales will be affected by that time.

I guess you can’t even attend the party!

There is also Sun Yue, who is an even more veteran singer.

The song "Wish You Peace" was once popular all over the country.

After a period of silence, she became popular again by covering songs of the "Bandit Queen".

However, the person who has covered "The Queen of Bandits" the most is definitely Hong Kong's "Water Queen" Zheng Xiuwen.

He even covered the song first, and after being discovered and sued, he reluctantly bought the copyright.

In other words, it is actually plagiarism!

Xu Yi was also very enthusiastic and greeted these singers.

Then he went into the separate dressing room and said something to Liu Yifei.

So he left the backstage and came to the parking lot again.

Then soon, he saw a familiar figure next to his RV.

This figure was none other than his former "old lover" Huang Shengyi...
