Chapter 182 Gratitude, Celebrity List

A successful variety show can significantly boost the popularity of its guests.

Yang Mi had a breakout year, with the drama "Eternal Love" at the beginning of the year making her a hot topic.

The variety show "Escape Room" is now playing an even more important role.

This can be considered a sweeping away of the gloom of shortcomings in the film industry!

As for the other guests, their popularity has increased to varying degrees.

The duo of sisters, Chen Keke and Tian Xiwei, unexpectedly achieved a result greater than the sum of their parts.

The two sisters had a pretty good relationship in "Escape Room".

His natural performance garnered considerable recognition.

Tian Xiwei's Weibo followers have grown to at least six million, further solidifying her popularity.

The show was a success, and naturally, we have to thank Chen Jingyuan.

If it weren't for Chen Jingyuan, there wouldn't be this show. Many celebrity guests would definitely be grateful.

Tian Xiwei also made a personal phone call to express her gratitude, while Chen Keke was oblivious to the situation.

Of course, Chen Jingyuan didn't care!

"Brother, I seem to have a lot of things to do lately."

"Please arrange less."

...

If Chen Keke's words were to be made public, countless people would be envious.

Many celebrities crave more gigs so they can earn more money.

As a result, Chen Keke had a somewhat rebellious attitude towards the Heavenly Gang.

"OK!"

Chen Jingyuan agreed without hesitation.

Chen Keke has indeed had a busy schedule lately, filming "The Story of Ming Lan", "Escape Room", and "Back to Field".

There's no need to arrange so many guest stars, especially since Chen Keke will also be making a special appearance in "Better Days" later.

Chen Keke, who played the lead and second lead roles, didn't have the ability or skills, so she could only make a special appearance in a role with some unique characteristics.

However, Chen Keke needs to hone her acting skills for this role!

This was a request from her mother, Liu Yulan, who didn't want to ruin a play because of her daughter.

Liu Yulan, the mother, is not the kind of person who would put personal matters before public ones; this movie requires acting skills.

If acting skills aren't required, it's fine to let Chen Keke play more roles.

Acting skills are required, and even being a daughter isn't enough!

Chen Keke had no choice but to grit her teeth and agree in order to act alongside her two girlfriends.

As time went on, the second and third episodes of "Escape Room" began to air, and the popularity of "Escape Room" continued to rise.

It's safe to say that this variety show is a success!

If it's not one of those guest scandals, then there won't be too many problems.

For any project, the worst thing is when the guests cause problems.

Variety shows are no exception; if a regular guest suddenly disappears, the editors might not know where to begin.

at the same time!

The 17 Forbes China Celebrity List was released, and originally this list had nothing to do with Chen Jingyuan.

However, the fact that Bai Lu from Lanco Entertainment Company made the list sparked discussion throughout the Lanco Studios group.

[Xiao Bai, you have to treat me!]

[Our company's first artist to make the list!!]

...

The discussion naturally included many mentions of Chen Jingyuan, the mastermind behind the scheme, as Bai Lu's inclusion on the list was entirely due to his planning.

This inevitably caught Chen Jingyuan's attention!

The Forbes China Celebrity List statistics are based on the activity and income of the past year, with the data covering the period from July of last year to June of this year.

It just so happens that Bai Lu's "Hello Mr. Billionaire" is released during this period.

Although "The Eternal Love" is quite popular, it still falls short of "Hello Mr. Billionaire".

Bai Lu ranked 61st with an income of 4000 million, ahead of Tong Yaya.

It depends on the results of the past year; otherwise, Bailu wouldn't really have a list to compete with.

Moreover, this 40 million income is actually before tax. After deducting half for tax and adding the company's share, Bai Lu will only have a little over 10 million left!

Because Bai Lu was on this list, Chen Jingyuan's gaze fell on the list.

Among them, there are quite a few people whose income exceeds 100 million, such as Huang Bai, Zhong Hanliang, Chen Weiting and others.

Yang Mi, Yang Ying, Yang Yang, Lu Han, and others have earned over 200 million yuan.

The number one spot goes to "Sister Eight Hundred Million," whose income reaches a staggering 300 million!

Compared to last year's celebrity list, it has basically doubled.

It's fair to say that each one is more outrageous than the last, no wonder so many people are desperate to get into the entertainment industry.

Of the 100 people on the list, none had an income of less than 40 million.

Even Chen Jingyuan thought it was exaggerated, and there was a lot of discussion online.

"This income is really too high."

"With such a high income, they didn't donate anything at the charity gala."

"More than 60 celebrities attended last year's Bazaar Charity Night, but only 20 of them donated."

...

Many people feel resentful, which is quite normal.

There were also questions about the accuracy of the rankings, such as Yang Ying being ranked ahead of Zhou Gewang.

Among them were quite a few inquiring about whether taxes needed to be paid!

Chen Jingyuan thought about the tax storm that would come a year later, and guessed that some signs of it would start here.

Some journalists and media outlets also delved into the companies associated with celebrities, including Huang Xiaoming, whom Chen Jingyuan was familiar with, who was associated with 57 companies.

However, since she has little connection with Lanco Entertainment, Bai Lu's placement on the list, neither high nor low, did not raise much controversy.

Moreover, "Hello Mr. Billionaire" has only been out of theaters for a short time, and its popularity has not yet completely subsided.

The release of the celebrity list has diverted media attention.

At least no one is paying attention to Chen Jingyuan anymore, after all, although Chen Jingyuan makes money in the stock market.

But it took several years, unlike some celebrities who suddenly made hundreds of millions.

Moreover, Chen Jingyuan earned his money in the stock market through his own abilities, while it's hard to say whether these celebrities' acting skills justify their paychecks.

A five-star hotel in Yanjing

"Bai Bai, you've made it onto the Forbes China Celebrity List."

He Handan was telling Bailu the good news, who had just woken up.

After filming the second season of "The Eternal Love", Bai Lu rushed to Yanjing overnight.

I was so tired that I slept until noon. I have a schedule to attend tomorrow.

She has also enrolled in a refresher course at the Beijing Film Academy, hoping to learn more systematically.

Bai Lu chose to give her all for the film "Better Days".

"Forbes Celebrity List!?"

Bai Lu's eyes were still a little blurry, but fortunately she quickly came to her senses.

Even during the White Dew season, seeing one's ranking brought both surprise and joy.

Bai Lu was already pleasantly surprised to be ranked above so many star actors.

I've only been in the industry for about two years.

Bai Lu was also very happy to see the many congratulatory messages in the work group.

Treating you to a meal? No problem!

Lugano Bleru was quite wealthy and didn't care about the cost of treating people to a meal.

After communicating with Chen Keke and others in the work group, Bai Lu calmed down.

While being listed on the celebrity list is a form of recognition, it only represents achievements from the past year.

Now we also need to consider next year's issues, and the most crucial thing is still the movie "Better Days".

As long as the movie is successful, all other projects are secondary.

The popularity and star power brought by the movie are still considerable.

Bai Lu doesn't aspire to a box office of 30 billion like "Hello Mr. Billionaire"; she'll be satisfied as long as the film is profitable.

She knew how difficult it was for a film project to succeed, and that box office success like "Hello Mr. Billionaire" was a matter of luck.

Moreover, she also wanted to prove her acting skills.

As for the award that Brother Chen mentioned, Bai Lu doesn't really care; she can only say she'll do her best.

However, her best friend and He Handan have great confidence in her, for a simple reason: a model won the Best Actress award before Bailu.

Chun-Hsia, a print model, won an award in 15 for her role in "Port of Call".

She won Best Actress at the 19th Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival and Best Actress at the 35th Hong Kong Film Awards.

This person is only two years older than Bai Lu, and was about the same age she is now when she won the award.

With such an example existing, coupled with trust in Chen Jingyuan.

If Bai Lu can perform well, she might really have a chance.

At least the Hundred Flowers Awards still offer some opportunities, as this award places more emphasis on popularity and national recognition.

The next chapter is even more exciting: Chapter 182 Thank you, Celebrity List, we look forward to your visit.
