Huayu has been doing one good deed a day since 2001

Chapter 300: Aspiring to be sixth on the global rich list and aiming for fifth.

Old Li said he wanted to push forward the (dear) project as soon as possible.

But in reality, during the massive return-to-work surge after the Spring Festival, Xiao Yang was the busiest person!

He was the first assistant director.

Old Li only needs to wait for himself to fly to Shenzhen, then to other places, and once he joins the film crew, filming will begin.

In the days following Xiao Tong's departure, Li Wenyu continued to immerse herself even more deeply in the Time Travel Department.

He's been working on the overall design drawings for the Type 95 Thousand Mile 2.1 prototype for almost two months now.

Whether the research, design, simulation, and subsequent experimentation will proceed smoothly.

There are also revisions, etc.

This is a series of major events.

On the contrary, the Type 92 Long March 1.1 prototype needs further optimization.

That can be left to the expert team.

He has already built the basic framework, and a small batch of prototypes has been produced.

We should trust the many top engineering talents in mainland China when it comes to upgrades, after all, they can handle anything from flying in the sky to running on the ground and swimming in the sea.

Those were all the work of top experts.

March 8th is International Women's Day.

Old Li returned to the media building intending to check out the acting skills of Zhang Ziyi, He Bing, Yang Xue, and Nie Yuan, among others.

He appeared on the 15th floor and saw his brother-in-law, Guo Mingjie, waiting in the secretary's office.

After all, they are family. Since they've already come, they shouldn't be treated like ordinary visitors and have to wait in the public waiting room.

Old Li greeted him with a smile, "Brother Jie, you came pretty quickly."

Guo Mingjie quickly stepped forward and offered a cigarette, saying, "If you're not enthusiastic about shooting, you've got a problem with your brain. Haven't you seen how many players there are for various shooting games?"

He still felt it was a bit dreamlike, unreal.

Old Li has now reached a level where he can afford to do all those things?
He's a big shot, the richest man in mainland China, but he's just rich.

Has it evolved to the point where the rich can do whatever they want?

Old Li decisively sent Da Meiyuan to audition Zhang Ziyi and others to assess their acting skills.

Now, Da Meiyuan is on a winning streak, using borrowed attribute points to quickly advance to (91/100), allowing her to immerse herself in the role for two months ahead of schedule.

Her acting skills are comparable to those of the three major European film festival award winners.

As Lao Li set off again in his car, Guo Mingjie, sitting in the passenger seat, asked curiously, "This year at the Hong Kong Film Awards, your family will be competing against each other."

"The competition gets even more exciting when it comes to the Golden Rooster, Huabiao, and Golden Horse Awards."

"Brother Yu, how did you manage to handle things so harmoniously? Just curious, here to watch the drama unfold."

Old Li was dumbfounded. "You really want to go along with each side's own interpretation?"

The Hong Kong Film Awards are scheduled for April 15 this year, but the nominees were announced in February.

Xiao Tong (whose film "The End of the Road") was nominated for Best Film and Best Director, while Pang Bing (whose film "The Vanished Lover") competed against Tong Liya.

He Qing was nominated for Best Actress for "Ocean Heaven," while Dong Xuan was her lover vying for the Best Actress award.

Another actress who won the Best Actress award is Zhang Bozhi, who debuted in "Protégé".

The competition for Best Actor is also very exciting, with Li Wenyu, Zhou Xingchi, Huang Bo, Chen Kun, and Huang Xiaoming among the nominees.

There were five nominations in total, but Lao Li didn't want them and gave them to A-Jie.

But this was Ah Jie's own initiative to leave the industry; his performance in Huo Yuanjia was not bad.

Basically, it's just a matter of queuing up and getting fruit.

Xiao Tong has to please Pang Bing well before she can win the Best Director award.

Of course, he's the best director in the double yolk competition.

After a few teasing and joking exchanges, Old Li led Guo Mingjie into the Qianli headquarters.

Old Guo looked suspicious. "Why does this part feel a bit too quiet?"

after a while.

Guo Mingjie saw two energetic young men sitting at computer consoles in the underground training area, controlling four drones and shooting at targets 200 meters away.
Guo Mingjie couldn't stop exclaiming "Holy crap! Holy crap!" on the spot.

What did he see? ?

The four small planes didn't seem to have anything exposed or hanging outside the fuselage.

How did they start shooting?!

This situation is enough to shock ordinary people.

But Li Wenyu knew that in other places, groups of three to five people had already started operating computers and drones.

We conducted a drill simulation with a small team of about 30 people in a platoon.

Times are developing and progressing.

In another year, when the Type 95 rifle is released, its effective range will be several hundred meters.

Can radio systems also undergo major upgrades?

In addition, it can be used with mobile devices such as smartphones and game controllers.

This allows a group of people to quickly advance, remotely controlling dozens of drones to fly several kilometers ahead, and then engage in friendly competition with platoons and companies.

By then, drones, smartphones, and remote controls will be easier to carry.

There is also the Sky Eye system, which uses high-definition camera transmission.

Then, thermal imaging search?
Li Wenyu, a pioneer of this era, has such a huge advantage.

The steps taken should be both fast and of high quality.

Of course, it's definitely not appropriate for Guo Mingjie to know about the situation in other bases.

His brother-in-law is also a coach at the training base, just like Lei Zi, and he's doing alright.

During this period, two batches of energetic young men have come to the headquarters of Qianli to learn technology.

Soon, the drones ahead ran out of blanks and returned to base.

New machines are taking off on the computer.

Guo Mingjie finally came to his senses, his face filled with shock.

What kind of science fiction is this? How could a young man like him witness something like this?

Guo Mingjie lit another cigarette and took a few deep drags. "Time Traveler? You own it all by yourself? How can there be such an unreal monster?"

He wanted to complain.

Even the (Speed) series' most beautiful woman.

Then there's Wang Kai in (Lone Agent).

How would you fight back if you encountered such a drone ambush in real life?
It was controlled by a computer from hundreds of meters away; ordinary weapons don't have that much range.

Not to mention in real-world metropolises, a straight-line distance of a few hundred meters may contain a large number of buildings that obstruct the view.

Li Wenyu chuckled, "Come on, I'll teach you."

During this period, Lao Li gave some of the animations to his new friends.

The animation department at Time Animation has been established for a long time.

In the animated version (The Wandering Earth 2), there are thousands of mini drones.

Engage in a fierce aerial battle with fighter jets piloted by real people.

He heard that many of his friends who watched the aerial combat animation for the first time were so shocked that they were speechless.

Those friends not only watched the animation, but also knew about the development of Time Traveler!

This is essentially a fact proven by the aerial combat depicted in the animated film.

It seems distant, not from this era, yet it doesn't seem so far away.

The animation department's small-scale trial of special effects was very successful.

…………

A little after 8pm on the 4nd.

Li Wenyu returned to the media headquarters building, and Da Meiyuan soon arrived at the president's office as well.

"Brother Yu, Zhang Ziyi and He Bing's acting skills are fine; they both delivered excellent performances."

"As expected of your personal guidance, I felt like I was reincarnated. My acting skills suddenly exploded, and I was able to overshadow Zhang Ziyi when acting opposite her."

"When Ziyi was so impressed by my flattery, she couldn't even speak properly."

Da Meiyuan is currently riding high on her success.

John Wick 3 is still bombarding the world, with over 6 million views in China alone.

The United States has also accumulated $91 million, regardless of whether it will eventually break $100 million in the United States alone.

The difference between these two numbers is significant.

Peninsula has been in theaters for over five weeks and has achieved a remarkable box office of HK$5.1 million.

Currently, John Wick 3 is the highest-grossing and most popular Chinese-language blockbuster in South Korea.

It easily surpassed John Woo-2's 3.8 million and The Little Man's 4.3 million.

$2.34 million from China, South Korea, and the United States.

This number is absolutely astounding.

In other parts of the world, even in Europe, John Wick 3 doesn't compare to John Wick 2. However, the cumulative numbers in island nations like Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand won't be bad, and will most likely exceed 5000 million dollars.

This is a sure way to break the $3 million mark again.

John Wick trilogy alone has grossed between $8.5 million and $9 million.

In addition, let's have (my dear) a film with an award-winning, charity-themed female lead.

This year's big screen has a slight trend towards Gao Yuanyuan.

Before acting opposite Zhang Ziyi, Da Meiyuan felt that her acting skills in dramatic scenes had improved rapidly under Lao Li's guidance.

But they don't have much confidence.

She only calmed down after winning against Zhang Ziyi in the scene.

Li Wenyu chuckled, "How are your recent advertising endorsement rates going?"

Da Meiyuan sat on the lap and laughed even more heartily, “Yunnan Baiyao offered me 2000 million yuan a year for endorsement fees, and Bawang shampoo is also 1888 million yuan a year.”

"These big companies are really willing to spend money."

Yunnan Baiyao accompanied The Voice of China's dominant broadcast.

In January 07, the monthly sales exceeded 1 million RMB.

In February, sales exceeded 150 million.

The first season of The Voice of China consisted of fourteen episodes, with the final episode airing on March 4th, the Lantern Festival.

The finale achieved a viewership rating of over 45%.

This sponsorship by Yunnan Baiyao is the most extravagant battle fought for all enterprises across the country.

It's practically a golden endorsement of The Voice's advertising effectiveness.

After all, in 2006, Yunnan Baiyao toothpaste's average monthly sales were only 2500 million yuan, with an annual target of 3 million yuan.

The Voice of China sold over 300 million yuan worth of goods in a single quarter, just three months after its broadcast.

This also boosted Yunnan Baiyao's market value to over HK$300 billion.

The Voice of China has also started airing in Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand.

Even when Yunnan Baiyao sells its products elsewhere, it needs to renegotiate with local TV stations if it wants to continue advertising, but the advertising effect is still good.

A stunningly beautiful woman who's currently dominating the global market? She's definitely the spokesperson Yunnan Baiyao is madly pursuing.

Old Li nodded, "Not bad, your advertising fees are almost catching up with Jackie Chan's."

Jackie Chan endorsed Bawang shampoo, which cost 06 million yuan in 1500.

But this year, 2007, it rose to 3200 million a year.

In 2007, Liu Feiren held 14 endorsements and earned 1.6 million yuan.

Da Meiyuan happily shook her peach, "When are we going to Shenzhen? Xiao Yang has already chosen a little boy actor. We really need to put in some effort to communicate with the child during filming."

"You've broken into the top ten globally now, haven't you? You definitely have."

One of the world's top ten richest people.

During the post-Lunar New Year work resumption rush, they went deep into the front lines and wrote, directed, and acted their own shows.

It's estimated that the (Dear) crew will cause a small sensation wherever they go.

Old Li was speechless.

Before the 08 financial crisis, internet companies and other industries expanded too rapidly.

This propelled his ranking to new heights.

To put it simply, his sole control of a media company valued at 1000 billion USD is worth 125 billion USD.

With over 1100 billion views on Weibo, his 45% stake would be over 60 billion dollars.

With Tencent's revenue exceeding 60 billion, its 11% share would amount to another 700-800 million US dollars.

With these three assets, Mr. Li's net worth has reached over 190 billion US dollars, easily surpassing last year's figure.

Old Li, this handsome 26-year-old, is truly the perfect embodiment of good looks and wealth.

…………

March 12th is Arbor Day.

At a filming location in Shenzhen, Li Wenyu took the lead in hosting the opening ceremony and skillfully directed the team to get things running.

The first scene in the film crew involved Lao Li being made up to look old, with his face becoming puffy and his cheeks bulging, making him look like he was in his 30s.

He opened a small internet cafe in a village within the city of Shenzhen, facing a group of teenagers who came to surf the internet.

The dispute arose because the other party could not produce an ID card.

This kind of filming happens easily. The leading group of "ghost fire" teenagers is Han Geng, who has long hair, looks very "ghost fire," and is a bit like a "punk" style.

This world, influenced by Lao Li, has adopted a 10s-style fashion idolization starting with My Love from the Star.

But the "Shamate" style still has a small trend and market, and Audition Online is too popular.

As the filming progressed naturally, Pony and the pig farmer, who were watching from the outside, both had expressions of expectation mixed with surprise.

As the two were smoking and whispering, Zhang Ziyi came over and greeted them warmly.

Demonstrate high emotional intelligence.

We chatted briefly, then the audience yelled "cut!"

Old Li took the initiative to call out, signaling Han Geng and the others to prepare for another round and start over.

Little Ma chuckled and joked, "That young man looks like he has some idol qualities, but his acting isn't good enough. Or was he too nervous acting with Chairman Li?"

"Chairman Li is so down-to-earth."

“I thought that at his level, he was completely out of touch with the lives of ordinary citizens.”

"I didn't expect him to act so naturally."

This version of the story is based on events that occurred in 03.

The male and female leads in the drama also spent several years searching for their son.

In 03, China was just like it was, with internet cafes of all sizes, both legitimate and illegitimate, everywhere.

Zhang Ziyi smiled and praised them, saying that Little Ma and Pig Farmer's acting skills must be pretty good too.

He exclaimed, "President Li is a genius whose abilities cannot be explained by natural science."

Let alone students like Han Geng who are acting opposite Li Wenyu, they would be too nervous and make mistakes in their performances.

Even if you replaced her, Lao Zhang would still be nervous.

As for Zhang Ziyi coming to greet Brother Ma, it wasn't to flatter him.

Little Ma and Pig Farmer came as guests to show their support.

Da Meiyuan didn't go to greet her, but Zhang Ziyi felt that as a well-known actress, it wouldn't be bad for her to act as a greeter and warm up the atmosphere.

Little Ma nodded emphatically, "This guy's made it into the top ten of the global rich list. He's not playing around in China anymore. Tonight's opening banquet is all about me and Lao Ding."

Excluding Weibo, Time Media, and Tencent Holdings.

Li's assets have exceeded 190 billion US dollars.

Including 360 Group, Time Renren, JD.com, and a series of other companies, you wouldn't say it doubled.

Reaching $300 billion shouldn't be a big problem.

If Huang Gua continues to cunningly transfer assets, Li Wenyu will be in trouble before the financial crisis erupts.

While we may not break into the top five globally, we are quite confident of securing sixth place and aiming for fifth.

This guy plays a 30-something-year-old internet cafe owner so professionally.

Even the thrill-seeking Pony Ma wants to try it out, waiting for the Tencent version of (Lost and Found) to launch.

Jiang Wen directed and starred in this; should he make a cameo appearance as a traffic cop?

These charity films follow a somewhat formulaic approach of seeking fame.

But if it truly helps countless families in China who have lost their children.

Its practical significance remains very strong.

Yang Xue also came over at this time to exchange pleasantries with He Bing and Nie Yuan.

These people quickly shifted the topic back to Da Meiyuan.

The previous week was the sixth week of John Wick 3's release, which is considered an extended screening period.

Even so, John Wick 3 still grossed 8200 million yuan at the Chinese box office, bringing its total to 6.16 million yuan.

That's equivalent to 7.27 million RMB nationwide.

The total accumulated amount of money involved in the Hong Kong Jockey Club's "Rapid 3 Storm" has also exceeded 100 million.

This is the fourth film from mainland China to break the 6 mark!
Today is the opening banquet, tomorrow is the celebration banquet.

Jackie Chan's 12 Zodiacs is also doing well, easily surpassing 300 million RMB in mainland China with 1.05 million RMB in the third week.

Judging from the trend, it is highly likely to break into the top ten of the rankings.

Da Meiyuan's path to dominance in the female celebrity circle has been truly glorious.

As everyone knows, Dear is a beautiful woman who won awards, did charity work, and dominated the big screen in 07.

As she continued praising him, Yang Xue said enviously, "This is clearly a relationship between an older woman and a younger man. With a little dressing up, Sister Yuanyuan and President Li look like the man is five or six years older."

"This master of traditional Chinese medicine is still the best!"

A group of people looked at each other.
