Chapter 79 money history

Cecilia Cheung made her comeback and took over Huang Baiming's movie "The Strongest Thing" with a salary of 10 million yuan, but she resigned from the movie of Er Dongsheng, who helped her and was kind to her (not yet released), Hong Kong media broke the news , said that the real reason why Cecilia Cheung and Er Dongsheng's cooperation failed was that Cecilia Cheung "raised the price on the ground", and Er Dongsheng scolded her for being "ungrateful" and "rebellious" behind her back.Both parties denied the rumors, and Cecilia Cheung's agent said "there is no such thing", but Er Dongsheng's long-time friend and partner Fang Ping's words seemed meaningful: "Honestly speaking, which big star is not greedy for money?...Now all The big stars are so expensive, those of us behind the scenes are very miserable."

Fang Ping's sense of injustice has its own origin. Three years ago, Cecilia Cheung's salary was only three million, but three years later, it tripled.Some people attribute this to the scarcity of charismatic actresses, and Cecilia Cheung's staunch performance in the private photo incident has increased her influence. Of course, her evolution and her non-replicability are the reasons for her skyrocketing salary. However, putting this kind of analysis in the context of skyrocketing star remuneration, and the SARFT even stated that it will limit remuneration is still incomplete. The reason for the completeness may be that stars with pricing power have to re-determine in the era of inflation. own value.

A history of money is a history of continually redefining value.If you want to see this process more easily, star pay is really a good sample - their money is always in the open, and they are always the first to be affected by the ups and downs of the times. Top stars' pay is this sample The sharpest part of the business - they are often the leaders in repricing. In 2010, Chaplin's salary reached one million US dollars.This standard has been maintained for several years, with ups and downs, but not much, until 1963, when Elizabeth Taylor set a new benchmark with "Cleopatra", and she received a million-dollar salary.Ten years later, Marlon Brando received $3 million for "Last Tango in Paris."

Since then, it has become more and more urgent, and the rate of salary increase is getting faster and faster. In 1991, Schwarzenegger won the highest film salary in history-15 million US dollars for "Terminator 2". This record was quickly refreshed. A salary of 20 million US dollars was offered, making him the first member of the 20 million club.It has become normal for big-name actors to participate in box office dividends. In 2010, "Forbes" listed the top ten highest-paid actors and actresses in Hollywood, ranking first in the income of Johnny Depp and Sandra Bullock. They are $75 million and $56 million, respectively.This income is not simply a one-time remuneration, but also includes box office dividends and advertising revenue, but obviously, the money benchmark for top stars has become higher and higher.

world harmony.Chinese filmmakers are also constantly using numbers to confirm where they are in.In the early 1930s, in the era of silver dollars, the "Star" company paid Hu Die a monthly salary of 2,000 yuan, which was an astronomical figure. The monthly salary of Hu Die's father, Hu Shaogong, who works in the department, is only 60 yuan.Forty years later, in the 1970s, Shaw's most profitable actor, Yue Hua, earned 30,000 Hong Kong dollars, and Xie Xian's salary in the 1980s, when he was the most popular, was 40,000 Hong Kong dollars. A set is only 360,000 yuan. Then, with economic growth and inflation, star remuneration rose to 3 million to 5 million yuan. By 2010, the first-line male star Donnie Yen’s salary was 20 million yuan, and Cecilia Cheung’s 10 million yuan. The remuneration is obviously for a reason, and it cannot be regarded as outrageous.However, the standard of living guaranteed by a salary of 10 million yuan may not be much higher than Hu Die's 2,000 yuan.

Inflation does not come alone. The Modern Times: The World from 1919 to 2000 says of the post-Versailles hyperinflation in Germany: "Such an upheaval must have political consequences." The Age of Hyperinflation , Usually also in turbulent times, people not only have to resist inflation, but also resist all kinds of unexpected losses caused by the current situation.It was still Hu Die. In 1941, after the Japanese army occupied Hong Kong, in order to escape the Japanese control, she fled Hong Kong in a hurry. Unfortunately, after being robbed, Hu Die suffered a serious illness after being severely injured, and then returned to filming again.

"How many secrets a person needs to hide in order to spend his life skillfully", this is a suspected poem by Tsangyang Gyatso circulated on the Internet, and there is also the lyrics of the popular song "Chasing the Sun" in the 1980s: "In order to chase the sun, I stepped on a red cloud", if the key word in the two sentences is changed to "inflation", it seems to be very smooth.Life is too long, and there is no one-and-done solution. There are plenty of means in this world to stimulate people to work non-stop to support its prosperity. Southerners often say "Hands stop talking", although it is sad, it has no complaints or anger. , because that is the true meaning of life.
