Chapter 1461 1463 [The richest man in China]

  The listing of Kunpeng Real Estate made Xiang Nan the focus of media attention again.

  Before that, although he was already a well-known writer, the novels and scripts he had written had worldwide influence. However, due to the image of the writer, he has always been poor and self-confident, with a breeze in his sleeves. So even though Xiang Nan is already very rich, people still subconsciously think that he has little money.

   Now with the listing of Kunpeng Real Estate, people suddenly discovered that Xiang Nan is already a billionaire super rich. This caused an uproar in the media and surprised the public.

   What shocked them even more was that Xiang Nan's property was not limited to Kunpeng Real Estate. The well-known Jin Manying Copper Pot Hot Pot is also Xiang Nan's industry.

  In addition, as early as the end of the 1980s, he bought large amounts of stocks in Microsoft, Oracle, and Adobe. Now nearly ten years have passed, and the prices of these stocks have also doubled dozens of times.

   Microsoft stock alone is worth three billion dollars. Coupled with the stocks of Oracle and Adobe, Xiang Nan's net worth is enough to wrestle with the new richest man, Bill Gates.

   These news, after being disclosed by the media one after another, triggered waves of public opinion frenzy, and also made Xiang Nan's popularity soar. It even became synonymous with [Fortune], attracting the worship of thousands of people for a while.

  In the late 1970s, at the beginning of the reform and opening up, people were still ashamed to talk about money. But after nearly two decades of development, people nowadays not only love money, but also worship money crazily.

  They regard the words of the rich as their standard, learn from them, and worship them.

  In the book market, the best-selling books are not novels or teaching materials, but celebrity biographies, success studies and chicken soup for the soul. It can be said that even if a rich man farts, some people will call it delicious.

   Therefore, Xiang Nan, who is now the richest man in the Chinese and is expected to become the richest man in the world, has reached the peak of his reputation in the mainland.

  …

   Seeing this, Xiang Nan acted quickly and donated generously.

  Donated successively to national public welfare projects such as Hope Project, Sunshine Project, and Poverty Alleviation Project, with a total amount of up to one billion RMB.

  The reason for donating so much money is because Xiang Nan knows that the 5,000-year Chinese culture has always belittled businessmen. No benevolence for the rich, no profiteering, no money management... These negative labels are firmly attached to the businessmen, and they have long been ingrained, and they cannot be removed.

  Although in recent years, with the reform and opening up, the influx of Western culture has gradually changed people's views on businessmen and wealth. But after all, Chinese culture has a history of 5,000 years, and it has already penetrated into everyone's bones. It is impossible to completely change the situation, and it may not be possible in another hundred years.

  Under this ideology, one must be extra careful in doing business. Otherwise, a little mistake may be undone.

  Xiang Nan does business, although he has always operated legally and paid taxes according to the law.

  But once a person becomes famous, he will be stared at with a magnifying glass, and his every move will be infinitely magnified. Even if there is nothing to do at first, it has a different meaning after zooming in.

   What's more, Xiang Nan knew that his foundation was not too clean.

  Business is fine, but private life is too messy. It's better than some of the top streams. It's fine if it doesn't explode, it's trouble if it explodes.

  So donating some money now can be regarded as helping yourself to accumulate virtue.

   After donating such a large sum of money, after public opinion reports, it also attracted praise from the public. Being rich is kind-hearted, which also makes Xiang Nan's reputation even better.

  …

  In July, "The Happy Life of Poor Zhang Damin", directed by Feng Xiaogang and starring Feng Gong, Xu Fan, Li Mingqi, etc., was officially released.

  Before it was released, the name of the movie was changed to "It's Okay to Have Fun". No way, the name of "The Happy Life of Poor Zhang Damin" is too long for the audience to remember.

  After it was released, the box office feedback was pretty good. The audience is still relatively buying this movie.

   First, the script is solid and the characters are vivid, just like looking at the people around you; second, the lines are humorous and the rhythm is relaxed. Although it is a realistic movie with a sad background, it is easy for the audience to accept.

   Unlike some movies, the background color is sad, and the content is also sad. After the audience watched it, they were sad for several days. That kind of movie, the box office can't be high.

  In the end, "It's Okay to Be Happy" earned a box office of 40 million yuan, which is not bad compared to the cost of less than 8 million yuan.

   After two films were successful at the box office, Feng Xiaogang was touted by the media as the number one director of commercial films in the mainland.

   I bought a new car, moved to a new house, and during an interview, I choked with the reporter and almost fought.

  Xiang Nan knew that he had suffered too much before, and now that he is successful, it's normal to get carried away.

  But he still reminded Feng Xiaogang not to be too ostentatious. You know, if you are full of losses, you will benefit from modesty. Even he had to behave with his tail between his legs. After being named the richest man in the Chinese community, he quickly donated money.

  He, Feng Xiaogang, is just getting started now, so what are you talking about.

  …

  In the same month, "Carry Love to the End" officially landed on CCTV 8.

  This drama has a total of 28 episodes, and each episode costs 60,000 RMB. It's not too expensive, but what Xiang Nan likes is the publicity effect of the CCTV platform.

  After the TV series are broadcast on CCTV, they will be sold on other TV stations, and the sales will be much easier.

   This is the first youth idol drama in the mainland, after it landed on CCTV 8, it really caused a lot of repercussions.

   On the one hand, the actor's appearance is good enough. Both Xu Jinglei and Li Yupeng are young and beautiful. In their prime, handsome men and beautiful women can attract a large number of audiences just by looking at their looks.

   On the one hand, the acting skills are not too bad. Fu Dalong, Huang Zhizhong, and Xin Boqing are all considered to be acting school. Li Yipeng and Xu Jinglei's acting skills are not high, but they are definitely not low, so their acting is more contagious.

   Unlike idol dramas twenty years later, apart from being good-looking, the actors’ acting skills are completely outstanding, which makes people feel nothing at all.

   On the one hand, the plot looks a bit **** now. You love me, I love him, he loves you. But in the 1990s, this kind of plot was relatively new.

  So it really attracted a lot of viewers, especially young viewers.

   Because of this, Xu Jinglei became an instant hit and became a popular female idol. Li Yapeng, Fu Dalong, Huang Zhizhong, Gong Beibi, etc. have also gained a lot of popularity.

  Zhao Baogang also became a leader in the field of TV dramas by directing this TV series, and also won a reward of 500,000 yuan, which almost moved him to tears. Ten years of busy work at the TV Art Center is not as good as half a year at Kunpeng Films.

   And Xiang Nan earns even more.

  This TV series has earned more than 30 million yuan just by selling the broadcasting rights of TV stations, not counting the income from the distribution of audio-visual products and peripheral products.

  However, when Xiang Nan thought about it afterwards, there was actually still a sum of money that should have been earned, and that was the income from advertising placement.

  Twenty years later, the income from advertising placement has become one of the most profitable methods for film and television dramas. Some film and television dramas have not yet started filming, and the cost has already been recovered by advertising alone.

   After all, Xiang Nan is not a professional producer of film and television dramas, this business, he has never thought of it, it really shouldn't be.
