"How strong is your earning power? How strong is it? Li Sheng, you said before that the income of third-rate celebrities belongs to the middle and lower classes in Hong Kong. What about other levels of celebrities? What level of income do they have? Please explain it in detail, so that it can be better We are mentally prepared. "Lei Juekun asked Li Mingbao at this time. "As for the income of celebrities, I will talk about some average levels. Of course, there must be exceptions. Some people are on the lower side and some are on the higher side. Even we cannot control such things. So we calculated, To calculate based on the average level, we calculate it based on the annual income. Of course, the calculation is different every year. After all, this income level depends on the general environment, just like the current August 4th. Year, I think if we start taking action now, the average income of third-rate celebrities will be less than 200,000 Hong Kong dollars in 1984, while the income level of second-rate celebrities is basically less than 800,000 Hong Kong dollars. Above 100,000 Hong Kong dollars, this is the income level of second-rate celebrities. As for first-rate celebrities, their annual income will rise to a very high level. After all, at this stage, they are basically equivalent to the main ones, and their income is too small. It doesn¡¯t show the power of first-class celebrities. So I set the rule that the annual income of first-class celebrities in Hong Kong is between 800,000 Hong Kong dollars and 5 million Hong Kong dollars. This is the income level of first-class celebrities. Star-level income starts at at least HK$5 million, and annual income is less than HK$20 million, which can be regarded as an East Asian star. As for the highest-level East Asian superstars, their annual income is at least 2,000. Starting from 10,000 Hong Kong dollars, there is basically no upper limit. This is the range of my plans for celebrities, but generally, the income of these celebrities will be this much." Li Mingbao said. own expected price. After listening to Li Mingbao's plan, Zou Wenhuai was shocked: "Is it that much? With an annual income of tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars, is this still the net worth of an actor? What actor's net worth can be as high as this level in Hong Kong? Is it possible for a celebrity with such a high net worth to appear in this place? The income of a second-rate celebrity can be capped at 800,000. Doesn¡¯t it mean that such a celebrity can buy a house in Hong Kong after working for one year? This kind of income is too high? If the income of Hong Kong celebrities is as high as Li Sheng plans, then many film company bosses in Hong Kong will not make as much as them in a year. This standard is too high, especially. East Asian superstars have an annual income of at least 20 million Hong Kong dollars. Who gives them that much money? Even if they pay dividends for every movie, we can't pay that kind of price. "Is this a high income?" As far as Hong Kong is concerned, this kind of income does seem very high, but as long as you compare it vertically, in fact, for actors of the level of East Asian superstars, their income is not very high. 20 million Hong Kong dollars seems like a lot, but if you change it In U.S. dollars, the annual income is less than three million U.S. dollars. In the actor industry in the United States, this kind of annual income is actually about the same as the annual income of second-tier and first-tier celebrities there. You know, some of their actors have annual incomes of tens of millions of dollars. Compared with them, the newcomers over there who are a little better are going to cry to death. Their salary for a movie is more than 100,000 US dollars, which is actually almost the same as the annual income of a second-rate celebrity here. In Hollywood, it's just a newcomer, a second-rate star over there. It¡¯s not unusual for celebrities to earn more than one million US dollars.¡± Li Mingbao felt that Zou Wenhuai was making a fuss. "Li Sheng, you also said that it was in the United States, but we are in Hong Kong. We have to consider the exchange rate issue. The money used there is US dollars, but the money we use here is Hong Kong paper. This It's completely different, okay? If Li Sheng sets their income so high, I'm afraid there will only be a few companies in Hong Kong that can afford to hire famous stars for filming. Hong Kong can't afford such high prices. "Zou Wenhuai said with a grimace. "If I only rely on the income from movies to make money, then the income level I have set is completely nonsense. I am not stupid, so naturally I will not do such a thing. I never said that such an income , it depends entirely on the salary. If you are happy, other film companies may not be happy either. It is not something that can be achieved simply. This requires external support. Didn¡¯t I say that before? Have you passed? Endorsements and other activities are the real source of funds. To make money, naturally we cannot just rely on the income from our film industry to increase the production of famous stars. Then wouldn¡¯t all of us be working for famous stars? The famous star system, to put it bluntly, is a system that reaches out to the outside world. Without support from the outside world, this famous star system is just an empty system.?ge. Has no real effect. Film remuneration and box office income are only a small part of my income for a celebrity star system. The real big part of income actually lies in additional income. Let¡¯s put it this way, if someone like Chen Long were to endorse a brand, then our asking price, the minimum standard for a year, would have to be millions of Hong Kong dollars. This is still the most basic. Brand endorsements are not just about one brand, but many brands. For example, top celebrities must have at least ten endorsement contracts a year in order to be considered a brand. Successful A-list celebrity. With so many endorsement contracts, Boss Zou, do you still think that their income will be less than a few million Hong Kong dollars? By giving them such high treatment, don¡¯t you just want them to make more money? If celebrities don't make money, why should we support them? Of course, we do not allow heterogeneous celebrities, but there must not be too many heterogeneous celebrities in the market. A few celebrities are enough to achieve fame. Other celebrities have to make money to survive. "Li Mingbao said. "Li Sheng, are you so sure that other industries are willing to pay celebrities for endorsements? In Europe and the United States, this is indeed a very simple matter, but in East Asia, the energy of us movie bosses is probably not that great. It's not easy to get those bosses to pay obediently. After all, the concept of brand is still a rare thing in East Asia. In Hong Kong, only Pan Disheng is the best, but even he has not found many celebrities to endorse. It is not easy to get other people to accept such conditions. "Lei Juekun frowned and said. "I know it's not easy. If it were easy, others would have come up with something like this long ago. Why would we need to make plans now? It is indeed not easy to get those bosses to pay obediently. It is difficult for us to succeed alone. But the celebrity rules I came up with cannot only be successful if a few of our bosses agree. Only when the power of the entire industry is united can the outside world understand our strength. To put it bluntly, isn¡¯t it that we raise the values ??of famous celebrities to make money just to cut meat from bosses in other industries? If we join together and have no such effect, then how can we increase our income? Regarding benefits, if you don¡¯t pay a price, why should others give you more benefits? If you want to eat meat but are afraid of being beaten, you deserve to be unable to make any money. In this world, there is never a free lunch. To increase income is just a couple of words from our mouths, so let¡¯s just go to sleep. It¡¯s so easy, but it¡¯s impossible. "Li Mingbao squinted his eyes and said. "Yes, by doing this you are indeed robbing someone else's mouth of the meat. How can you pass without paying a price? I agree with what Li Sheng said. Others in Europe and the United States can do things successfully, so why can¡¯t we in East Asia do it successfully? Since your plan is so detailed, Li Sheng, I think the feasibility of doing this is still very high. If we can contact more movie bosses and participate in this matter, our personal pressure will be less. If such a thing is really successful, then the strength of our film companies in East Asia will rise to a new level. There is no reason to refuse such a thing. "Uncle Liu said at this time, tapping his fingers on the coffee table. "It's done! If you are timid, you can't do this. I will contact other film company bosses tomorrow and ask them to come to Hong Kong to gather together and talk about Li Sheng's plan and a profitable business. I don't believe they are willing to give up. . "Zou Wenhuai said. "This matter requires the efforts of the entire industry. We can send invitation letters to influential film companies through the distribution port, so that everyone can work together to do this. And we can also set a rule. If any companies do not participate in this plan in the end, then we can not recognize the actor level of their companies and make no efforts, but they will take advantage of us in vain. Such a good thing , is not feasible. I believe that if there are such prerequisites, companies that want to gain without paying will have to think about it. Maybe it can also speed up the time for everyone to cooperate. This kind of thing requires strict rules from the beginning. If anyone can't stand it and sells out the entire industry, then he and his company will be the enemy of our entire industry. "Speaking of this, Li Mingbao's tone seemed murderous. Regarding Li Mingbao's attitude, Liu Shu and the others did not feel that it was excessive at all. Originally, such a thing was to rely on the power of the entire industry to force others to spit out more profits. If Whoever withdraws at a critical moment and gets the benefits without paying any price, then Li Mingbao's system has no meaning at all. It is not an exaggeration to define such people as enemies.??Then this matter is settled. Li Sheng, we generally understand your plan, but it will require the participation of so many companies. Li Sheng, you definitely don¡¯t have time to convince each company. They, so I hope Li Sheng, you will first create a detailed document, and then let them read it themselves, and then discuss it. This will also save time. "Sixth Uncle ordered Li Mingbao at this time.
