This actor just wants to verify.

Chapter 971 Top of the Writers Rich List (asking for monthly votes)
Although he said he would stay at home to accompany his pregnant fiancée, Hao Yun was actually not idle.

It is impossible to trim Hei Nuo's donkey hooves all day long, or brush Hei Dou's hair, or cut Hei Mi's nails.

He has edited "Gone Girl" and it's time to publish it.

Hao Yun has published quite a few novels since his debut, which can be regarded as a gift given by the system when the script is given.

But these seemingly insignificant gifts have made Hao Yun the envy of literati.

The group of literati seem to have a halo on their heads, representing a group of people who are knowledgeable, cultured and well-educated.

In fact, it is okay to say that literati are knowledgeable and have some culture, but when it comes to cultivation, they do not have that much.

It seems that the group of literati are born with some character flaws. Our ancestors even invented a term called "literati look down on each other."

It is very ironic that when writer A looks down on writer B, it is mostly because writer A’s weight is lighter than writer B, so he tries his best to belittle him; if writer A’s weight is heavier than writer B, he will never be stingy with words of praise.

What did Hao Yun do to anger the literati?
I'm rich!

That’s right, the reason why he made the literati feel “light” was that he was so rich.

The literati have no control over the money earned from making and investing in movies, and they generally only look down on their peers.

The key point is that a few days ago, the 2009 China Writers Rich List was announced, and Zheng Yuanjie became the second richest writer with 2000 million yuan.

The richest person is Hao Yun.

An outsider tops the list of the richest writers.

Who can I go to for justice?

According to incomplete statistics, Hao Yun’s royalties this year total 1400 million... US dollars.

"The Martian" alone brought Hao Yun $1000 million in royalties in Europe and the United States.

In fact, even without "The Martian", Hao Yun's royalties would still rank among the top three.

"Those Years", "My Captain, My Regiment", "The Message", "The Battle of Changsha", "The Sun Also Rises", "The Longest Day in Chang'an", "Ode to Joy"...

Covering various types, large quantity to satisfy your hunger.

Many of them can be considered bestsellers, and some are even sold in Europe and the United States.

There's no way. They like Hao Yun's "The Martian" so much that they can't help but ask if the author Legion has any other works.

It didn't take much asking, and I actually found seven or eight books.

However, these are basically in Chinese, and they can't understand them after buying them.

Where there is business opportunity, there is motivation. As soon as the publishing house saw that someone was willing to read Legion's novel, it quickly arranged for it to be published overseas.

People who read books are often strange.

If you put a book called "My Captain, My Regiment" in front of a foreigner, he may not be interested after reading the introduction.

But if you take another "masterpiece" by the author of "The Martian", everything will be different, and book fans will be much more tolerant.

$1400 million in royalties and the honor of having his works sold abroad.

Literary reviews and comments that openly praise or secretly criticize Hao Yun are very popular in the literary world.

This is industry correct.

Even some experts and professors would come out to curse Hao Yun from time to time, confronting his book fans and establishing themselves as an upright person.

There were even fans of other writers who fired various shots at Hao Yun.

It’s not Zheng Yuanjie who was suppressed by Hao Yun.

In the 20s, Zheng Yuanjie's fairy tales were popular all over the country, and letters from readers poured in. In order to properly preserve these thank-you letters, he bought several properties in the capital at that time, and the house price at that time was only 90 yuan.

Now that I think about it, this is the most fairy-tale story.

How can I write fairy tales when I have so many houses?

The one with the most arrogant fans is last year’s second place, who is this year’s third place, a young writer named Guo Xiaosi.

Because he and Hao Yun were not in the same industry and there was no chance for them to cooperate with each other, Xiao Si unscrupulously bullied Hao Yun on many occasions in public.

He assigned Hao Yun the "Seven Deadly Sins".

One is to make a living by his looks, and this seems to be impossible to refute.

The second is seeking fame and reputation, a common reason for writers to look down on each other. Whoever is famous is seeking fame and reputation.

The third is to harvest fans. As long as the fans spend money, it is naturally harvesting fans.

The fourth is worshipping foreign things. Why can’t CNSA be the one to rescue Mars? Why must it be NASA?

Five of them are hired ghostwriters. Hao Yun's works have different styles, so it is obviously impossible for him to write them alone. With a net worth of tens of billions, he has hired a high-quality team of at least twenty people to continuously output content to him.

Six of them are gigolos. Hao Yun started out as a grassroots and only with the help of An Xiaoxi did he have constant resources and people were willing to invest in him.

Seven are having promiscuous relationships. People in the entertainment industry are not clean.

Intellectuals are so vicious. When the seven deadly sins came out, Hao Yun was really a little... well, not particularly scared.

Hao Yun didn't even know about this matter until he returned to China.

Because Wu Laoliu felt that this was not a big deal at all and there was no need for public relations at all.

It's not just the entertainment industry that doesn't need saints. Saints are not needed at any time or place. No one is perfect except as a human being.

These so-called seven deadly sins have no killing power at all to Hao Yun.

And who the hell is Guo Xiaosi?

Under the noses of the bigwigs in the film and television industry, he is really nothing.

After returning from their global trip with Zhang Liangying, Wu Laoliu focused on dealing with the negative public opinion related to Aunt Hua and Chen Kaige.

Aunt Hua was being dragged down by the stock price and had been secretly pulling it down.

It is necessary to pull down the stock. Otherwise, investors will almost forget about Huayi's stock.

Huayi's stock price peaked at 50, but then a major shareholder raised the stock price twice to cash out, and now it's hard to even reach 40. They also know it's not time to cash out yet.

The leeks are still just seedlings, but the major shareholders lack confidence and feel it will be too late if they don’t run away.

As for Chen Kaige, he did not mention his name.

When I was doing a program, I said that nowadays movies have become too commercialized.

If everything is developed based on the market, the attributes of film as a cultural art will no longer exist.

In fact, this is the most troublesome thing.

On the one hand, what he said does make sense. There have always been controversies in the artistic and commercial aspects of movies.

As a veteran artist, it is reasonable for him to express his views on the industry.

On the other hand, he did not name Hao Yun and Heidou Media.

But there is no dispute as to who it was.

If we were talking about it in the past, it might be Ma Dagang, but in the film market in recent years, people who have done well commercially are Hao Yun, Ning Hao and others.

All I can say is that a tall tree attracts the wind.

There is no point in responding tit for tat; we can only start from other aspects.

For example, using the recognition of mainstream media and institutions to fight back.

Heidou Media does not just make commercial films, as evidenced by its recognition at the three major European film festivals and various domestic film award ceremonies.

In addition, songs by Hao Yun and Zhang Jingying have also been popular abroad.

Isn’t it an achievement to sell movies overseas and actively develop domestic films?

The higher-ups actually attach great importance to this.

Heidou Media bought some notices and focused on analyzing the "private goods" in the novel "The Martian".

How did Hao Yun, a Chinese author, discredit NASA in his novel and how did he affirm CNSA's achievements in the aerospace industry over the years?

These things are actually a kind of cultural "invasion".

In addition, things have been very lively recently, so the accusations from Aunt Hua and Chen Kaige did not have much impact.

First, Hao Yun and An Xiaoxi officially announced their marriage and the proposal was successful.

There is also news that Zhao Benshan spent 200 million to buy a private jet, becoming the first mainland star to own a private jet.

Old Zhao is indeed a bit too high-profile.

Even Hao Yun had heard that once he passed Shanhaiguan, he would look for Benshan if he had any problems.

Just a short sentence is enough to prove how powerful Zhao Benshan is.

I heard that he was also invited by Wang Jiawei to star in "A Bag of Masters".

Then, Aunt Zhang Ziyi was embroiled in scandals - ink-throwing scandal, fraudulent donation scandal, role-changing scandal, breakup scandal...

I guess it’s because the house he lives in is very big and there are doors everywhere in the house.

Finally, Zhang Weiping blasted Han Sanping and Huaying Company for monopolizing the market and suppressing other companies and works.

This matter also intersects with Heidou Media.

Some press releases cited the example that Huaying deliberately compressed the screening schedule of Heidou Media's films in order to produce "Red Cliff" and "Keep Talking".

There was also a temporary adjustment in the schedule, and the screenings of Black Bean Media's films were used to play "Red Cliff" and "Keep Talking".

This is not a fabricated story.

It really did happen.

However, Heidou Media did not take it too seriously, and Hao Yun also knew Han Sanping and knew that he would not play such a small trick that would not affect the overall situation.

It must be the people below, or the people from "Red Cliff" and "Keep Talking" who are working hard.

Therefore, Heidou Media did not bring this matter to the surface at that time.

Now it looks particularly like Heidou Media bought the press release, so Wu Laoliu had to invite Han Sanping to dinner and personally clarify the matter.

We cannot rely on the friendship between Hao Yun and Han Sanping and allow this misunderstanding to accumulate and ferment, otherwise it may become a flashpoint of conflict between the two sides in the future.

Hao Yun plans to visit Han Sanping's home to pay New Year's greetings around the New Year.

After returning to China, he faced a lot of troubles, but they were not big deals, so Hao Yun was very confident in Wu Laoliu.

The number one general, Wu Laoliu, is very useful.

He even helped plan Hao Yun's wedding. Not only did he plan Hao Yun's wedding, he also had to plan his own wedding.

According to the original plan, he and Zhang Jingying would get married during National Day.

However, both parties are very busy with work, and it is very difficult to coordinate a time for the wedding.

So it has been postponed until now.

Their wedding date was set for after the New Year, a little later than Hao Yun and An Xiaoxi's.

In Wu Laoliu's words, even if Zhang Jingying is not pregnant, they are not in a hurry.

Listen, this is human language.

After Hao Yun came back, there was one more thing to be confirmed about the wedding.

That is whether to invite the media and accept sponsorship.

It's the same thing.

There would be no need to invite the media if they don't accept the sponsorship. Neither Hao Yun nor An Xiaoxi are the kind of people who are too high-profile.

If you accept sponsorship, you will definitely have to invite the media.
