Chapter 096 Forbes Interview
When Li Lekang was in the limelight, Judy was busy. She kept calling, various business cooperation, magazine and media interviews, and TV program interviews all emerged like mushrooms after a rain.
Even though she had a team to help, she still had no time to get out. This is the enthusiasm that Li Lekang faced almost every time he became popular, and there were many people interested in him.
However, Judy respects Li Lekang's opinions and has her own set of ideas: Li Lekang is not in a hurry to make money in business, he is not short of money, but more of the precipitation of his status!
Just like yesterday's grand New York performance show, 80,000 audiences contributed more than 20 million US dollars in just ticket revenue!
In addition to sponsored advertising, TV cooperation, comprehensive video revenue, etc., Li Lekang's performance revenue guaranteed at $35 million!
Of course, this is not pure personal income, and it also requires deduction of project costs, taxes, etc., but this is already a pretty terrifying number!
You should know that the tenth place in the ranking of the world's highest-paid male actors is $40 million!
Li Lekang almost caught up with it with one performance.
Not to mention the surrounding consumption, temporary employment, hotel accommodation and so on, it is said that the Super Bowl can drive a comprehensive $1 billion in revenue in one round, and Li Lekang is still a slight witch!
So Judy saw Li Lekang, a difficult-to-replicate money-making model.
He doesn't need to be tired of performing and running around different shows like other magicians, because his high-quality performance income is comparable to his peers for a year!
What Li Lekang lacks now is not money, but fame, artistic honors, and strength awards... Now the situation is a bit like Leonardo DiCaprio!
Little Little Little was only in her twenties when she starred in "Titanic", and she had already dominated the world at the box office. She was fascinated by many women, but she was still with her until she was in her forties and finally won the Oscar winner.
Li Lekang's situation is very similar. He was popular all over the country at a young age and even heard of it in the world. However, he has only one honor in detail, the title of the Got Talent.
Moreover, this is a very variety show title and has no authority.
He is not like other old seniors, such as Emmy Awards, World Magic Conference champions, and even Magician of the Year awarded by the Academy... He doesn't have any of them!
Although these titles and awards are just false names, they do not affect Li Lekang's popularity and income.
But, just like any popular actor, he is eager to win the Oscar (post).
So he also wanted to win the championship in the three-year World Magic Conference to gold in the competition among all Magic Masters.
I also want to win the annual award of the "Hollywood Magic Academy", which is known as the highest palace, so that the news media can introduce themselves in the future and report this proud title.
Judy took into account many aspects and did not accept business activities for Li Lekang indiscriminately, and refused many interviews and programs.
Unless it is a very big show, Jimmy Show Tonight and Allen Show, it can be arranged, but Li Lekang feels that his topic of conversation is not rich enough and he doesn't want to go on it for the time being.
As for magazines, Time is definitely an ideal object, otherwise Forbes is OK, the latter is said to be interested in him, and Judy is contacting him.
There is also the consideration of world-class superstars. Global tour performances have always been under consideration. Li Lekang's schedule has been relatively loose recently, and Judy has begun to prepare for the next stop of the performance.
According to the established procedures, Li Lekang's next stop is to go to China.
After all, it is like walking in a night clothes with wealth and honor.
Although it is not the same world, Li Lekang still wants to go back and show off a few games in a glorious way.
However, performing in China is more complicated than expected. It requires various visa procedures and media permissions, approval from the Ministry of Culture, and cooperation with brokerage companies with foreign-related qualifications is not a matter of leaving.
Judy began to collect a list of team members and apply for visas and performances from now on, but she probably had to leave after Christmas or New Year.
Li Lekang didn't need to worry about this. He was only responsible for considering a few distinctive magic tricks, and at the same time, it could reflect the characteristics of Chinese humanities. The programs produced were only good-looking. (ps: There was not much material, you can give some suggestions)
But it's only October now, and it's still a long time to prepare for him!
After this performance that gave him the gods, various business opportunities followed one after another!
There are all endorsements, advertisements, and even those who want Li Lekang to film, but Judy thinks it is not very reliable, so most of them declined.
Big stars in the United States usually do not accept advertisements randomly, or in different directions, they are mostly in high-end fields. For example, Dior and Chanel hired actresses to take action, so Judy also pays attention to quality.
Li Lekang is also not interested in taking advertisements, and he is also very particular about interviews when it comes to the show. He now has a good reputation and any performance is widely praised.
It can also be said that I have an idol burden!
Because you can't be a top magician, but you're taking an AD calcium milk advertisement, right?
It’s not that it’s bad, it’s just a little bit...it’s not that good!
During his New York event, Judy helped him take an interview with Forbes.
As a well-known American economic magazine, the scope of the scope of the field is not only economics and finance, the annual salary rankings and business development models of various entertainment stars and sports stars. Forbes also often talks about it.
Li Lekang is a very representative industry pioneer who recently emerged as a magician.
Forbes used to pay more attention to sports and entertainment stars, but Li Lekang's emergence made them impossible to ignore!
First of all, his ability to attract money can be said to be unprecedented. A performance in New York brought $35 million in revenue, and he also won $10 million in the Got Talent Competition. Then other commercial performances and TV broadcasts are often millions, and tens of millions are not a minority. These are all numb wealth numbers... With a relatively low frequency of activity, he has gained wealth beyond his reach for his peers!
Of course, there is a topic of wealth.
So on a sunny afternoon, at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel, Li Lekang was interviewed by Forbes media.
In the camera, he is wearing a suit and ties, with a big back and a full of energy. At first glance, he has a bit of the temperament of a gambling god.
Of course, he didn't mind telling the media how he used magic to defeat the casino in the past.
The interview atmosphere was very pleasant. Because Li Lekang was very popular enough, the media gave him plenty of time, from childhood to growth, from career to planning, and then some secrets that he still doesn't know.
For example, he really defeated the casino with tricks.
He also revealed that his magic is indeed useful for high technology.
As for whether he has witchcraft?
After hearing this, Li Lekang smiled: "If you think I can turn a playing card into your pocket and take it out like this, yes, I have it!"
This made the reporter unexpectedly take out his pocket, and he really took out a poker card with the name Li Lekang. He was surprised at first, and then he thought that they had hugged him when they met, so he laughed: "Now I believe you have it!"
This is the world. The more you want to tell people, the more suspicious they are!
