Chapter 335 Wei Yang's Wealth and a Big Red Envelope for Each Person

"Goodbye, Mr. Sa."

Wei Yang waved goodbye to Sa Beining, who had a complicated expression on his face. The latter was broken by his words just now. He couldn't help but doubt his life. He was still a little confused when he said goodbye at the end of the show.

Sitting back in the car, Wei Yang flipped through some news on his mobile phone and couldn't help cursing.

"I must find a lawyer to deal with them."

When recording "Let's Talk", Wei Yang said that he was not interested in money, which must be a pretense, but there was only one thing that was sincere, that is, his dissatisfaction with Forbes.

"Lost in Thailand" made a lot of money, and he was already a celebrity. The two lists of Forbes were simply adding fuel to the fire.

The rich list is actually okay, after all, there are still a bunch of big guys supporting it, and there are certain non-substantial asset references, such as company valuation, etc., which are not particularly exaggerated.

After all, the development of Blue Whale in the past two years is not a joke. Even if the core of the company is Wei Yang himself, it can't be ignored to reach this size.

Take the recently listed Guangguang as an example. This company is definitely not as good as Blue Whale in film and television production, but it has made good progress in distribution, variety shows, media and other fields.

At present, Guangguang's stock market value exceeds 4 billion, and even because it is the main distributor of "Famous" and "Lost in Thailand", its peak stock market value was close to 5 billion.

Boss Wang of Guangguang regretted that he wanted to slap himself a few times.

If he had listened to Wei Yang's advice and invested in "Lost in Thailand", the market value and actual profit would have been enough to make Guangguang and even his personal value soar.

Thinking about the fact that he personally introduced this cash cow to Wei Yang, Boss Wang was a little autistic...

At present, the scale of Blue Whale is definitely not as good as Guangguang, and its own development is more focused on film and television production and artist management.

It is not as good as Guangguang, but it is not too far behind. More importantly, Blue Whale has a very high profit margin, especially in several projects in 2012, which made crazy money and can even be regarded as the most profitable company in the entertainment industry.

Even if such a company is not as good in assets and scale, but its core business is too dazzling, it will be highly favored by the market.

According to industry estimates, if Blue Whale goes public, its market value will be at least 3 billion+, and 5 billion is not difficult if there is some favorable news.

Considering the future prospects of the company and Wei Yang, as well as the current crazy rising entertainment market, there is a lot of room for development, and it may even become a monster stock.

If calculated in this way, Wei Yang, who owns most of Blue Whale's shares, is still greatly underestimated.

According to normal estimates, it is not too much to give Wei Yang a net worth of 5 billion, but a considerable proportion of this money is fictitious.

For Wei Yang, unless Blue Whale goes public, such an estimate is meaningless, and it is also explained clearly.

But the first place in the Forbes celebrity list is a real calculated income, which actually exposes his approximate annual income.

And if it is just the first place in the domestic list, it is fine. Wei Yang has won it before, but this time he got the first place in the world, which is too big a fuss.

Even some media in Japan, South Korea and even Europe and the United States have made related reports.

Some expressed doubts, thinking that this data is false, and some were surprised at the strong ability of a star to make money.

Not to mention the domestic situation, it was simply a blast!

They didn't see that most of the income came from film and television investment or company dividends, but only saw that Wei Yang made more than 1 billion a year.

This is not a martial ethics, and it completely put him on the fire, so Wei Yang even thought about suing Forbes.

The purpose is not to make Forbes apologize or anything, but to force the other party to make concessions and change the rules.

Find a way to separate him from the company, only calculate his personal income, and the company's income is an asset and is not included.

Or simply kick him out of the celebrity list, he doesn't need to stay on the celebrity list at his current level.

Otherwise, this will happen every year in the future, and the annual income will easily be hundreds of millions or even billions, and sooner or later people will be eyed.

No matter how valuable the company is, no matter how much money is on the books, there are ways to fool around and explain, even to do two projects, earn 1 billion, "invest" 1.2 billion, and suddenly become a pauper.

If the personal net income is listed, it will be too sensitive and difficult to operate.

It sounds like stealing a bell while covering one's ears, but sometimes, this process is what is missing...

...

After leaving CCTV, Wei Yang returned to Shanghai and held a celebration party for "Lost in Thailand" in a five-star hotel in Shanghai the next day.

The first Chinese-language movie to break 1 billion yuan was produced by Blue Whale. This is a milestone achievement. If we don't promote it well and enhance the company's influence, it will be a big loss.

Wei Yang and the three main creators of "Lost in Thailand" smashed the ice sculpture with 1 billion yuan.

"Thank you for your hard work."

At the celebration banquet, Wei Yang personally toasted with Xu Zheng and the other two to express his condolences and thanks.

During the hot release of "Lost in Thailand", the three main creators were also busy with roadshows, especially Xu Zheng. If it weren't for the celebration, he would still be busy now.

"This movie is inseparable from your contributions and efforts. I have discussed with the bosses and prepared some gifts. I hope you will accept them."

As he said, Wei Yang took out three envelopes and handed them to Xu Zheng and the other two according to their names.

"Lost in Thailand" is basically his personal investment, but Wei Yang has been saying that he cooperated with several bosses to share the firepower.

"Lost in Thailand made a lot of money, which shows that we are lucky together. Let's cooperate more in the future and make money together."

"Boss Wei, please support me."

Lost in Thailand was a big hit, and Xu Zheng and his friends became more famous and prestigious. They were no longer the Ah Meng of the past, but they still didn't dare to show off in front of Wei Yang.

They made a profit, but Wei Yang made a bigger profit.

It's funny to say that Xu Zheng wrote, directed and acted in this movie, so he should have made the most contribution, but in the eyes of many people, Wei Yang was the one who made the greatest contribution.

There are also people who believe in his outstanding and wise vision, so many people want to cooperate with Xu Zheng, and even more people want to cooperate with Wei Yang.

In the eyes of many people, Xu Zheng is just a blind cat that meets a dead mouse, and Wei Yang, who has a [treasure hunting eye] and successfully marketed Lost in Thailand, is the real god.

No matter how much Wei Yang made from filming in the past, it was not as shocking as the Midas Touch in Lost in Thailand.

This kind of dramatic plot with a little legend and sudden wealth is too touching.

Wei Yang chatted with a few people for a long time, and left in a hurry when he heard a leader coming. At this time, Xu Zheng and his friends looked at each other and opened the envelope.

The envelope was very thin, with only one check in it. Huang Bo and Wang Baoqiang both received 2 million, while Xu Zheng's was 10 million.

"Boss Wei is very generous."

Huang Bo smiled. His salary for starring in "Lost in Thailand" was only 3 million, and now he got a "big red envelope", so he was naturally very satisfied.

Not to mention Wang Baoqiang, his salary was even lower, and with this "red envelope", it was equivalent to double his salary.

Both of them are actors. Normally, after filming and getting paid, whether the project makes money or loses money has nothing to do with you.

Of course, there are some bosses who are more generous and will give a red envelope when they make money, but such a large amount is indeed extremely rare. Wang Baoqiang thought he was dazzled at first.

But think about it and it's understandable. After all, "Lost in Thailand" made too much money.

In comparison, their salary is not very conspicuous, and it is inevitable that they have some imbalanced mentality. In addition, Wei Yang is willing to win cooperation and give a big red envelope so that they can meet in the future. Anyway, the wool comes from the sheep.

Huang and Wang are actors, and they have their own film remuneration, so 2 million is not a small amount.

Xu Zheng's situation is quite special, and the 10 million cannot be regarded as a red envelope, but a kind of dividend.

Originally, according to Wei Yang's intention, he was to be given 20 million, after all, the "囧 series" still needs him.

But later he felt that the difference in the amount was too big, which would easily make Huang and Wang think too much, so it was nothing, so he just gave it secretly.

More importantly, Blue Whale received a lawsuit and found that the copyright of "Lost on Journey" that Xu Zheng claimed to have obtained was fake, and the other party now demanded compensation.

Blue Whale Cloud has already consulted, and the possibility of winning this lawsuit is not high, at least it will cost a few million.

So Wei Yang waved his hand, and Xu Zheng's 20 million became 10 million.

Damn, he got something for nothing, and if he didn't want to make things awkward now, Wei Yang wouldn't give him 10 million...

Compared with the satisfaction of Huang Bo and Wang Baoqiang, Xu Zheng was not satisfied with the 10 million.

Again, everyone has different roles. The two are actors, and the bonus in addition to the film remuneration is already a pleasant surprise. Xu Zheng is the core of the entire project, and he believes that he has made great contributions to this project.

Wei Yang took 400 million, and he got 10 million, which must be unhappy.

However, at this time, Xu Zheng forgot that he had already taken all the money from the director and the actors. According to the contract, he did not have to give him the 10 million. The cooperation between the two parties was not a joint-stock system, but an employment system.

Xu Zheng took a project and used it as an excuse to seek certain remuneration and positions. Wei Yang satisfied him. He got his own remuneration and rights, and whether the project made a profit or a loss had nothing to do with him.

Wei Yang made a lot of money, but he took the funds and risks.

Now just looking at the profit of "Lost in Thailand", Xu Zheng felt that he lost money, but what if "Lost in Thailand" lost money?

Xu Zheng wiped his mouth with the film and director's fee and left, and Wei Yang had to fill the hole.

But even if Xu Zheng understands this truth, it is difficult to avoid this idea, just like when Wei Yang worked for Zheng Dong at Blue Whale, the latter took the lion's share, and he couldn't help but grumble in his heart.

There is no way to balance this kind of thing, especially for those with greater ambitions. Even if you share 30 million or 100 to 200 million, he still feels that he is losing money.

It's just that Xu Zheng is not confident enough now, and he dare not challenge Wei Yang. He has to suppress his dissatisfaction in his heart and wait until he is fully grown.

Wei Yang actually understands Xu Zheng's character. The 10 million is mainly to convey an attitude of buying a horse's bones with a thousand gold, indicating that Boss Wei will not treat people unfairly.

To put it bluntly, it is done for others to see, and it doesn't matter whether Xu Zheng is personally satisfied or not.

Although Xu Zheng has made a comeback at this stage, his foundation is still shallow, and the copyright team and other things are all in Wei Yang's hands. He can only be honest in the short term.

After letting him make one or two more movies, and squeezing out the value expected by Wei Yang, it doesn't matter whether Xu Zheng can stay or not.

From the beginning, he had no intention of having a close relationship with Xu Zheng. They just wanted to work together to make some money. If they did well, they would continue. If they didn't, they would go their separate ways...
