Chapter 286 Discussing the new direction of future film and television

As early as a few months ago, the media revealed that Yang Hao was worth more than 30 billion yuan, and many people in the entertainment industry were discussing that Yang Hao would definitely be on the Forbes China Rich List this year.

Many people in the circle want to see how much Yang Hao is worth.

October has arrived and the Forbes Rich List is finally out.

Wang Jianlin topped the list with 2150 billion.

Alibaba followed closely with 2050 billion.

Tencent Ma ranked third with 1650 billion.

Wahaha, Baidu, Suning, Country Garden and other companies followed closely behind.

Yang Hao ranked 320th with a net worth of 48 billion yuan.

Yang Hao is the most talked-about director and star in the entertainment industry. Once the news that he ranked 48th on the Forbes China Rich List was revealed, it quickly topped the Weibo hot search list at an incredible speed.

This attracted many netizens to watch and comment.

"Hi! Brother Hao is really awesome. If he wasn't on the list, it would be fine. Once he was on the list, he jumped straight to 48th place."

"Have you noticed that on the Hurun Rich List, there is only one celebrity from the entertainment industry, Hao Ge."

"It is said that the entertainment industry is very profitable, so why is there no other star on the list except Brother Hao?"

"If Yang Hao and I equal our assets, I will also be a billionaire."

……

Yang Hao also looked carefully at the Forbes Rich List. On this list, Yang Hao is indeed the only one who came from the entertainment industry.

Although Jia Yueting of LeTV is closely connected with the entertainment industry and ranks 420st with a net worth of 31 billion, he started out as a video website developer and is strictly speaking in the IT industry.

Although Huayi has a market value of more than 220 billion yuan, its equity is dispersed. The combined net worth of Wang and Wang Xiao is less than billion yuan, which is far from the threshold of billion for the Hurun Rich List.

The Forbes China Celebrity List ranks celebrities based on multiple dimensions, including their income, popularity, and influence of their works.

Since the list is released every May, Yang Hao had no choice but to look at the 2015 list.

It was found that Fan Bayi was ranked first on the 2015 Forbes Chinese Celebrity List, but her annual income was only 1.26 million.

Jay Chou ranked second with revenue of only 1.08 million.

As for Da Mimi, Liu Yifei, and Liu Shishi, their income is even less, only around 50 to 60 million.

People say that the entertainment industry makes money, but if you look at the Forbes Rich List, you will find that compared with real estate and the Internet, the entertainment industry is really just a small pond.

Different parties have different reactions to Yang Hao's inclusion on the Forbes China Rich List with a net worth of 320 billion yuan.

Yang Hao is the most successful student from Beijing Film Academy in recent decades and a banner of Beijing Film Academy in the entertainment industry.

In recent years, every time the enrollment season comes, Yang Hao will be brought up by the teachers in the admissions office of Beijing Film Academy and promoted as a role model.

Even Yang Hao's artistic photo was printed on the cover of the Beijing Film Academy's admissions brochure.

It has to be said that Yang Hao has been stirring up trouble in the entertainment industry in recent years, causing Beijing Film Academy to slightly surpass the Central Academy of Drama and Shanghai Theatre Academy in terms of reputation.

For many art students, their first application target is the Beijing Film Academy. Only if they fail to get into the Beijing Film Academy will they consider the Central Academy of Drama or the Shanghai Theatre Academy.

There are countless famous directors, movie actors and actresses who have come out of Beijing Film Academy, but only Yang Hao has made it to the Forbes China Rich List.

The school leaders decided that they must invite Yang Hao back to give a speech to their younger classmates.

As for the important task of inviting Yang Hao back to school, it must fall on Yang Hao's class tutor Xu Xiaodan.

"Yang Hao, when you are free, come to school and give a speech to your younger classmates. Tell them how to better integrate into the entertainment industry after graduation." Xu Xiaodan said kindly over the phone.

"Okay, teacher, I'll confirm the schedule and get back to you later."

As expected, the Forbes Rich List is a list of slaughtered pigs. He went back to the school to give a speech. With his net worth of 320 billion, shouldn’t he donate some money to the school?

Moreover, the amount cannot be too small, otherwise it will definitely be used by netizens to blacken it.

After hanging up the call with Xu Xiaodan, Da Mimi’s WeChat voice message came again.

"Honey, you are so rich! I am worth not even a fraction of yours." Da Mimi deliberately said in a coquettish little voice.

Seeing that Yang Hao was worth 320 billion and was on the Forbes Rich List, Da Mimi was proud of Yang Hao and thought that she was quite good at judging men. She had followed him since before he became famous.

But at the same time, Da Mimi's heart was also bleeding. Yang Hao is worth 320 billion, of which 160 billion belongs to ByteDance's Douyin app.

According to Da Mimi, Yang Hao only invested a few hundred million RMB in this project.

All in all, in just a few years, the amount has increased almost forty to fifty times.

Although I can't come up with hundreds of millions of RMB, I can still come up with tens of millions.

If I had listened to Yang Hao and invested with him, wouldn’t I be a billionaire now?
Thinking of this, Da Mi Mi's pussy started to feel pain.

The eleven members of Rocket Girls returned to the hotel after a tiring day of commercial performances.

When Wu Xuanyi logged into Weibo, he found that Yang Chaoyue’s boss Yang Hao was on the hot search list again.

"With a net worth of 48 billion, he ranks th on the Forbes China Rich List."

After seeing the news, Wu Xuanyi covered his mouth in surprise.

"Chaoyue, Chaoyue, look at your boss, he's worth 320 billion!" Wu Xuanyi quickly walked into Yang Chaoyue's room and exclaimed loudly.

"Wow! The boss is so rich." Yang Chaoyue also exclaimed when seeing her boss's net worth.

After the exclamation, Yang Chaoyue felt lost again.

The reason why she wants to be an idol is to become a top star in the entertainment industry, to make money, and to be closer to her boss in status.

Now it seems that the gap in status between me and my boss has become even bigger.

The loss only lasted for a short while, and soon, Yang Chaoyue, who was naturally optimistic, felt happy again.

"My boss is worth 32 billion. I have contributed at least one-third of his worth."

During this period, Yang Chaoyue has been constantly accepting notices and commercial performances every day. According to Yang Chaoyue's estimation, she has earned tens of millions for Yang Hao.

If you calculate carefully, it is only one in three thousand!
Tian Xiwei has been enrolled at Shanghai Theatre Academy for two months.

After being developed by Yang Hao, Tian Xiwei's figure has become more impressive and her charm has become more radiant.

Soon, she won the title of the most beautiful campus girl at Shanghai Theatre Academy with her pure and sweet face and devilish figure.

She doesn't regret being kept by Yang Hao at all.

And she doesn't think this is keeping someone, she can only say that this is a relationship that will lead to no result.

After seeing Yang Hao's net worth of 32 billion on the headlines of Weibo, Tian Xiwei became even more determined to follow Yang Hao.

Anyway, I am still young, only 19 years old. I will follow Yang Hao for ten or twenty years and make money first.

Da Mimi and Liu Yifei don’t have a very harmonious relationship, but they still play together with Liu Shishi.

At least when Yang Hao is not around and there is no need to compete for a man, Da Mimi and Liu Shishi can still maintain a good relationship.

Because of this, when Liu Shishi was playing with Da Mimi one day, she accidentally discovered a secret of the other one.

Da Mimi actually had a child. This news was like a bolt from the blue, hitting Liu Shishi's heart.

In recent years, Da Mimi has been following Yang Hao, which is an open secret in the entertainment industry.

There is no need to guess who the father of Da Mimi's child is, Liu Shishi knows it all, it must be Yang Hao without a doubt.

Originally, Liu Shishi felt that she and Da Mimi were on the same starting line, but now she knows that she has fallen behind.

When Liu Shishi saw that Yang Hao was worth 320 billion yuan on Weibo, she had a bold idea: should she also give birth to a child for Yang Hao?
-
Yang Hao's net worth of 320 billion has caused quite a shock to most people in the entertainment industry.

Especially since Yang Hao has only been in the industry for four years, he has already built up such a huge business.

What can you do in four years?
It’s not even enough for the King of Sunglasses to make a movie!

A tall tree attracts the wind. This is absolutely a true saying.

Ever since Yang Hao was listed on the Forbes China Rich List.

More and more people come to the company to beg for alms.

The subdistrict office held a basketball game but had no funds, so they asked Haori Film and Television Culture Media for sponsorship.

The district is holding a calligraphy competition for senior cadres, but is short of funds, so it is looking for sponsorship from Haori Film and Television Culture Media.

Even several nearby universities occasionally have their student union external relations departments come to solicit sponsorship.

Although the sponsorship funds are not much, tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands can be handled each time, but when they are added up over many times, it becomes a considerable amount every month.

However, what makes Yang Hao very pleased is that these sponsorships can also be regarded as consumer rebates, which will increase the system cashback amount.

If you calculate it this way, the loss is actually not that much.

The Beijing Film Academy campus posted the notice three days ago.

The announcement stated that Senior Brother Yang Hao would return to school to give a speech in three days.

Who is Yang Hao? Anyone who attends an art school knows him.

A billionaire producer, triple crown winner of the Spring Festival, and a 30 billionaire, he has all the titles under his belt.

Especially since this is Yang Hao’s alma mater, although he has graduated for two years, the Beijing Film Academy still has the legend of Yang Hao.

"Have you heard? Senior Brother Yang Hao will come to Beijing Film Academy to give a speech in three days."

"Is it true that Senior Brother Yang Hao is coming to Beijing Film Academy to give a speech? You are not lying to me, are you?"

"How could this be false? If you don't believe me, go check the notice board yourself."

"I am really looking forward to Brother Yang Hao's speech. I wonder what he will say?"

"Brother Yang Hao is so handsome in the movie. I wonder if he is as handsome in real life now as he is in front of the camera?"

……

Before Yang Hao came to Beijing Film Academy, various discussions about Yang Hao had already begun among students.

Three days later, Yang Hao arrived at Beijing Film Academy as promised.

Xu Xiaodan, Xue Xiaolu and Beijing Film Academy President Hu Qiang were all there to greet them at the door.

There is an eye-catching banner hanging at the gate of Beijing Film Academy.

Warmly welcome outstanding alumnus Yang Hao to return to school to give a speech"

"Teacher Xu, Teacher Xue, and Principal Hu." Yang Hao greeted them one by one.

"Welcome home." Principal Hu's speaking skills are very good. Yang Hao felt warmed by the word "home".

Accompanied by Xu Xiaodan, Xue Xiaolu and Beijing Film Academy President Hu Qiang, we had lunch together and chatted for a while about the current situation of the entertainment industry and its future development trends.

"Yang Hao, I've always heard that you have a good eye for film and television investment. When online dramas were not yet popular, you invested in "Yuzui" and ignited the online drama market. Do you think there will be any new directions for the development of film and television in the future?" Principal Hu interrupted during the conversation.

Principal Hu's question was very profound. In an instant, everyone who was chatting fell silent, and everyone wanted to listen to Yang Hao's profound opinion.

These teachers have rich theoretical knowledge, but after all, they spend most of their time in ivory towers. In terms of industry sense and foresight, they may not be able to compare with Yang Hao, a first-line practitioner in the entertainment industry.

Yang Hao thought for a moment before answering, "Principal, have you ever played Douyin short videos?"

"Of course I have played it. It's the most popular app this year." While speaking, Principal Hu took out his mobile phone and waved it in front of Yang Hao.

Seeing that Principal Hu had played Douyin short videos, Yang Hao felt relieved. Otherwise, he might not understand what he said next.

"At present, Douyin short videos are limited to 15 seconds in length, but I have received internal information that the length will be increased to five minutes or even longer in the future."

“Once the length limit is lifted, it means that more forms of short videos will appear.”

“If some of the jokes on the Internet were filmed by professional photographers and professional actors, have you ever thought about what the effect would be?”

"You can write a script based on the excitement of online novels, hire three or five actors, spend 100,000 or 200,000 yuan on production, and shoot dozens of five-minute short plays in a few days."

"Douyin now has more than 400 million total users, tens of millions of daily active users, and the total number of users is still growing at a terrifying rate."

"As long as a paid model is launched in the future, this kind of short drama will have great potential."

What Yang Hao just said is the short drama that will become popular in the next few years.

In the future, the number of short dramas registered nationwide each year will reach 3,000 to 4,000, with a market size of 30 to 40 billion yuan, which is in no way inferior to the annual movie box office.

In particular, short dramas such as "The Dragon King with Crooked Mouth" and "The Domineering President Falls in Love with Me" are very popular abroad.

After listening to the short play told by Yang Hao, Xu Xiaodan, Xue Xiaolu and Principal Hu all looked at each other in surprise.

"Yang Hao, three or five people, a production cost of one or two hundred thousand, and a few days to shoot dozens of episodes? Why do I feel that these short dramas you mentioned are all shoddy and bad dramas?" Xu Xiaodan asked in confusion.

After hearing Xu Xiaodan's words, he looked at the other people present. From their expressions, he could tell that they all had the same idea.

Alas! Everyone present was influenced by the orthodox film and television production model, and it was difficult for them to think outside the existing framework. For a moment, they simply couldn't understand why anyone would like to watch such a bad movie.

Strictly speaking, short plays are just bad plays, or just awkward plays.

It's rotten, but it's cool!

The rise of short dramas first requires that the number of short video users reaches a certain level.

The second is the impact of the epidemic.

Three years after the epidemic, even if restrictions are relaxed, not many people dare to invest in filming movies for fear of a recurrence of the epidemic.

In this context, short dramas that cost tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars and take only a few days to shoot have become a new trend.

Another reason is that under the impact of the epidemic, many students in the performing arts department are facing the situation of having no films to shoot after graduation.

In order to fill their stomachs, they can only accept short plays that cost eight hundred or one thousand yuan a day.

Short videos have cultivated users for short dramas, and the impact of the epidemic has provided film and television practitioners and investors for short dramas. The combination of the two has led to the rise of short dramas. (End of this chapter)
