An early October night.

The heat of July and August has gone away, and it has gradually become cooler. On such a night, the gathering among several men has reached the time when the drunkenness is getting stronger.

A man wearing a pair of light gray slacks and a white turtleneck shirt picked up his wine glass, clinked a glass with his good friend, and then drank the beer in one gulp.

This man's facial features are very three-dimensional.

The towering cheekbones, slightly sunken cheeks, and angular chin all bring a strong visual impact to people. According to ancient physiognomy, it is "a face like a crown jade, high cheekbones, and eyebrows like

"Knife sharpening".

Because of this.

The waitress who had brought in a box of beer not long ago had just come in, her eyes always glanced at this man intentionally or unintentionally, but this man's eyes were not very bright, as if there was a kind of dejection.

Originally, he had no idea of ​​going out today, but two or three friends kept inviting him, and they hadn't seen each other for a long time. Even though they were all in Hong Kong City, except for him who had nothing to do, the other few people just came.

Returning from a business trip abroad.

Listening to several friends talking about career-related matters, he did not interrupt and just listened as a bystander.

In the past, he had always been the protagonist of gatherings like this, but after that incident broke out, he got divorced and all his savings were spent on foreign lawsuits, which made his life now not only a bit restrained, but also unable to provide income.

The source of the business is gone.

In the past... not to mention that others begged him to film, but they definitely had to rely on some connections to invite him. But now, he put aside his dignity and asked people to take the initiative. On the surface, they said they would consider it, but in fact they turned around and completely forgot about him.

Cleaned.

The entertainment industry is indeed an impersonal circle.

When his career was going smoothly, everyone he met was smiling, and some people even called him "Teacher Gao". How about these two or three years!? Those who used to call him "Teacher Gao" occasionally met him again, not only

Without the previous enthusiasm and politeness, sometimes I can’t wait to call him “him” before he has gone far, and then I can say anything.

But this person can only understand some truth after being beaten into a trough.

He has learned more truths and experiences in recent times than he has in the past thirty years combined. His friends are still talking, and they have extended his career to how much money he made last year.

One said he made more than 30 million last year.

Another said he made $13 million in futures last year.

There is also a slightly less number, only more than 8 million.

As for authenticity... Gao Feng is too lazy to bother with it. You can tell by trying something like this. As long as you borrow two to three million, you can tell who is genuine and who is fake. Of course, it is natural that he does not exclude others who have indeed made a lot of money, but

Although he didn't want to borrow money from him, he had no idea of ​​borrowing money anyway. Even though he did not have much money, he had not yet reached the point where he could not afford two or three million.

A skinny camel is bigger than a horse.

This is the case with him.

Although the lawsuit almost wiped out his savings, he bought a lot of luxury goods at the peak of his career, such as luxury watches, luxury cars, and various expensive bags. At that time, he had some considerations... mainly because of meeting

There have been several instances where the money I finally earned was squandered by my wife, so I hid it.

It's a good thing that he hid this, otherwise his life would be difficult now.

So from two or three years ago to now, he has been relying on selling this kind of things to maintain his life at a good level. The quality will definitely decline, but it has not reached that level yet.

Seeing that several people were still bragging, Gao Feng picked up the beer bottle and filled his own glass. He didn't care about the others and just picked up the wine glass.

Suddenly, one of his friends focused on him, smiled and said, "Gaofeng, your ex-wife has a movie released today, do you know!?"

Gao Feng's hand holding the wine glass stopped for a moment.

Finally, he took a sip and nodded to show that he knew.

How could he not know about Ye Xuan!?

He accepted a purely commercial film from a female perspective, and the investment was huge. Even at the peak of his career, he did not have such an opportunity to star in it. In addition to this film, Ye Xuan also served as the female lead in director Feng's new project "Alive"

.

Even he was amazed by the speed of his career development.

But... he also heard that Ye Xuan was in a relationship with Chen Jiahui, who had been rising up at an alarming speed in the past two years. If he hadn't been in the entertainment industry, he might have thought it was a fake.

After all, apart from Ye Xuan's parents, as Ye Xuan's ex-husband, he should be the person who knows her best. With Ye Xuan's character, he would definitely not be able to do such a thing.

It just so happens that he has been in the entertainment industry, and he had a relatively high-profile period. He can't compare with top artists, and he can't reach the first-line level. He only played the role of male lead and second actor in some romantic dramas. As for movies

... He has also appeared in some supporting roles, but he has not played a leading role, so he is absolutely sure that if his ex-wife can get the kind of top-notch resources from Chen Jiahui that even he has never had, it must be...

Thinking of this incident, Gao Feng's eyes became more complicated.

But there is nothing unusual about this. He has been in the entertainment industry for such a long time and has already seen the other side of the entertainment industry. This is a high-end trading situation.

Especially when it comes to the female lead in such a big production with hundreds of millions, she relies solely on her acting skills and her compatibility with the role. Even if she is a natural actor, if she does not have that kind of relationship, she will never be able to fall into the shoes of his ex-wife, who has a name and a surname.

There are so many actresses!

"You know!?"

Seeing him nodding, his friend quickly let out an exclamation of exclamation.

"Your ex-wife is really great now. How much is the production fee for "Resident Evil"? It seems to be more than 400 million. She can also get such resources."

Gao Feng didn't seem to hear what his friend meant, so he opened another bottle of beer and filled it for himself.

Meaningless things.

He divorced Ye Xuan a long time ago, and now no matter what he does, it has nothing to do with him.

"Gaofeng, you have been in the entertainment industry before, so do you think that as long as the box office data of "Resident Evil" comes out today, it means whether Ye Xuan can gain a foothold in the film industry!?"

"kindness"

Gao Feng nodded again.

"Then once she establishes herself, does that mean she can earn hundreds of millions a year in the future!?"

this time.

Gao Feng's friend did not have any indescribable meaning in his words. Instead, he asked the question very seriously.

"..."

Gao Feng wanted to say how easy it was to earn hundreds of millions a year. You must know that he had been in the entertainment industry for so many years and his total assets were only a little over 100 million. But as he spoke, he suddenly remembered the situation of his ex-wife.

It's really not the same as him.

First of all, Ye Xuan is the female lead in a big-budget movie.

Once the box office is good, she not only has a masterpiece, but also proves that she can be a crucial box office anchor for a movie.

Secondly.

The projects he took on after that were bound to be female leads. In this case, commercial performances and endorsements were not something he could compare to at that time. His highest endorsement fee was for a luxury product, totaling 15 million.

.

If his ex-wife took over as an A-list actress after the success of "Resident Evil", the starting price should be between 20 million and 40 million. However, such endorsements are rarely signed for only one year.

Between three and five years.

I just calculated this number in my mind.
Chapter completed!
