The decline of TVB, across the Xiangjiang I believe everyone can smell, especially in the rapid rise of ViuTV, almost forced TVB to a dead end.
After Chen Guoqiang stepped down as chairman of the board of directors, the new authorities pulled Zeng Zhiwei as deputy general manager, and after Zeng Zhiwei entered the top level of TVB, he staged a "palace fight" drama to exclude dissidents.
He immediately summoned the old Department Wang Zulan back to the nest and served as the chief creative officer.
Subsequently, according to Hong Kong media reports, in order to return to the nest, Wang Zulan actually gave up a salary of 100 million yuan in the mainland!
As soon as this title came out, it brought out the meaning that Wang Zulan did not forget his old owner and was serious about righteousness.
But whether it was Wang Zulan who was serious about love and righteousness, or Zeng Zhiwei who saved the old subordinates from danger, and listened to Sister Rice's good nagging.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="7" > "children of poor families" earn money early</h1>
First of all, we can't underestimate the ability of Wang Zulan, who is the most successful male artist in Hong Kong's "North Drift", and he has developed the myth of his small man counterattack from Hong Kong to the mainland.
Wang Zulan's family is generally poor, born in a public house, he also has a pair of younger siblings below him, a family of five depends on his father to support, when life is the hardest, the whole family relies on eating the cheapest fishmeal to feed.
There are many versions of Wang Zulan's father's profession, truck drivers, policemen, etc., but his father unfortunately fell ill and died while he was in college.
The family is not well-off, Wang Zulan learned to work part-time to earn money and supplement the family, fortunately he has a good start.
As a teenager, Wang Zulan followed dubbing master Lu Xiong to dub films and commercials, and in 1998, he joined Radio Television Hong Kong to perform radio dramas, and was later recommended to become a screenwriter and host of the Hong Kong and Taiwan Cultural Education Group.
In 1999, he was electrocuted on the big screen for the first time, he starred in the action comedy "Sunshine Police", cameoing as a kidnapped student, the role was not much, the time was not long, but it opened up Wang Zulan's film and television road.
Since 2000, Wang Has also starred in mathematics and science education programs on the Hong Kong education channel ETV. At that time, Wang Zulan, who was only 20 years old, was very young, and the appearance of the big brother next door.
The key is that so many part-time jobs have not delayed his study, no matter how busy and how late he finishes work, he will always insist on going home to study for 2 hours.
Therefore, when he graduated from university in 2003, Wang Zulan also won the excellent results of the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts first-class honors.
To this day, when Wang Zulan teases his height, he still uses the excuse of desperately studying and delaying sleep:
"Ask me why I grew less than 170 centimeters, because I grew up for a while to work and read, God is fair, gave me good grades and good income, and refused to give me good height." 」
The four words "promoting strengths and avoiding weaknesses" have been applied to the extreme in Wang Zulan.
He knew that he could not rely on his appearance to shine, so he desperately rushed to the road of talent, with excellent eloquence and writing ability, Wang Zulan stepped into the background of TVB.
After graduating from college, he went to TVB's artist department to introduce himself, and the other party mocked him: "Do you think that your appearance is worthy of the audience?" ”
Wang Zulan replied humbly and soberly: "The audience also needs psychological comfort, they will definitely have a sense of accomplishment as soon as I appear, and I can also line other male artists Wei An!" ”
With this spirit of sacrifice, he officially signed a contract with TVB the following year.
From his growth process, it can be seen that Wang Zulan opened his own "gold" road early, not only earning extra money to supplement the family, bearing the tuition of his younger brothers and sisters, but also planning his career direction in advance, with a sober positioning and not afraid of humble earning ability, Wang Zulan's success laid the foundation.
In 2005, director Ye Nianchen took a fancy to Wang Zulan and asked him to star in "Exclusive Trial of Love", and in 2007, Wang Zulan starred in the sitcom "Colleagues Three Points", in which he played Lou Hua, a role that made Wang Zulan's acting career usher in the first small peak, and also attracted the attention of TVB.
In the same year, Wang Zulan partnered with Li Sijie and Ruan Zhaoxiang to form a new generation of "Fulu Shou", and also began the comedian journey of the little Wang Zulan.
In the future, Wang Zulan can perform so well on the "Hundred Changes Big Coffee Show", which is related to this show.
After several years of tempering, Wang Zulan is more and more able to "treat people in the world", and he has gained many opportunities in TVB around Fengyuan, "Pearl of the Orient", "Storm of Hearts", "Learning Police Out of the Change" have his figure of playing soy sauce, and even have anti-string roles.
But acting is not the main business, Wang Zulan also successfully stood in front of the host microphone of major variety shows and award ceremonies with a good tongue that can speak the Tao.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="30" > from inspirational turnover to human "rollover"</h1>
The career is booming, but those small roles of gag jokes have not actually laid a piece of wealth for Wang Zulan, and what makes him really taste money is after he moves to the mainland market.
In January 2012, the first season of "The Hundred Changes Big Coffee Show" invited Wang Zulan as a guest, this kind of show is exactly his talent, Wang Zulan showed a strong control ability and a relaxed and funny atmosphere, the program effect is excellent.
As a result, the shrewd program team immediately started Wang Zulan's idea, signing Wang Zulan several issues at a "low price" of 50,000 yuan per episode, but did not expect that this became a watershed in Wang Zulan's career and a stepping stone on the road of "gold hunting".
From imitating Zhang Guorong, Liang Chaowei, "Four Heavenly Kings" to the popular "Huluwa", almost every episode of the show can cover both emotional and funny aspects, and fan love and ratings have achieved a win-win situation.
As a result, Wang Zulan's value rose from 50,000 yuan per episode to 350,000 yuan per episode.
From the first season to the third season, in two years, Wang Zulan has earned more than ten million real money and silver in this show, probably more than the sum of his previous assets in TVB.
At the same time, Wang Zulan also made two comedy films,"Laughing Gong Zhen Wulin" and "Black Comedy", as well as a costume comedy "Food as a Slave", and his income was naturally not low.
It can be seen that Wang Zulan, who is well versed in the way of making money in the entertainment industry, has grasped the time point of borrowing money from his own ability with great precision, and successfully took off during the rising period of his career.
Wang Zulan, who became famous, and then ushered in the highlight moment of life, "Run Bar Brothers" began broadcasting in 2014, this national super high variety show, to this day can still be regarded as a trump program.
The average viewership in the first quarter was as high as 4.27%.
The average ratings of the second season broke a new high, reaching an average of 4.75%, and in a few seasons, not only did the satellite TV and program groups earn a lot of money, but several members doubled their value and ranked among the top of the artist list.
At first, Wang Zulan's popularity was not as good as other members of the team, but he successfully gained a large number of fans with the "Leak Picking King" personality.
Traffic is income, and the five seasons of "Running Man" opened the peak era of Wang Zulan's income.
Some media broke the news that Wang Zulan's personal single-season salary rose from 2 million to 6 million, and from 6 million to 8 million, and even rumors that the last season of film remuneration exceeded that of Zheng Kai, the little cheetah, reaching 13 million.
In this way, Wang Zulan's salary for "Running Man" alone is close to thirty million. The capital operation of the entertainment industry is faster than that of the business world, and with this funding, coupled with Wang Zulan's many years of experience in the entertainment industry, he wants to double the money in his hand, which is simply easy.
If anyone does not believe that this group of film remuneration income is exposed, look at Wang Zulan's next large-scale purchase, which has been a good proof of his income level at the peak of his acting.
In 2013, Wang Zulanhao spent 13.2 million Hong Kong dollars (equivalent to 10.874 million yuan) to purchase a 170-square-meter sea-view house in Yajing Garden, Tai Po, Hong Kong.
Don't misunderstand, this 360-degree invincible sea view room is not Wang Zulan's own residence, it is what he wants to give to his mother. After marrying Li Yanan, he naturally wants to allocate more luxurious real estate.
In 2015, Wang Zulan threw 114 million Hong Kong dollars (equivalent to more than 90 million yuan) to buy a 260-square-meter mansion in Yilong Bay, Hong Kong's New Territories.
Wang Zulan's bold hand set a record for the transaction of strata properties in the New Territories East at that time.
Shocking the New Territories East is not nothing, and then in 2016, the "Leak King" bought another low-rise landscape room with a large garden in the same unit for 37.06 million Hong Kong dollars, and gave it to Wang's mother.
In addition, in order to facilitate her sister to take care of Wang's mother's daily life, Wang Zulan also spent 8 million Hong Kong dollars nearby and bought a suite for her sister.
The Hong Kong media could not sit still, seeing Wang Zulan's operation method of buying a house such as buying vegetables, the Hong Kong media, which has always been able to pickpocket, listed a list of Wang Zulan's larger income since his debut.
This table clearly shows the huge income gap between the mainland and Hong Kong.
During his stay in Hong Kong, his income was up to 300,000 to 400,000 yuan, and he could participate in activities, shoot dramas and perform on shows in the mainland.
The list is only a count of the "Running Man", "Hundred Changes Big Coffee Show" and other ace programs to Wang Zulan's one-season offer, which is almost the same as the content of the previous revelations.
So far, Wang Zulan has completed the arduous process from part-time earning money to holding 200 million properties.
However, this did not end, and he also had the idea of going it alone.
In 2017, Wang Zulan established a "handicraft" company in Beijing and purchased an office building in Beijing's Chaoyang District for 15 million yuan as a base for his company in the mainland.
The husband and wife joined hands and recruited soldiers to prepare to continue "wild fishing" in the interior.
Everyone knows that Hong Kong artists have been running away and coming to the mainland, and the biggest reason is because the money in the mainland performing arts market is easy to earn, and Wang Zulan's company has promised to match artists from Hong Kong who have come to the mainland, and everyone will make quick money together.
Unfortunately, a variety show defeated Wang Zulan's passerby popularity and also broke his wishful thinking.
In 2020, "The Man Who Does Housework" invited Wang Zulan and Li Yanan, and Wang Zulan, who had been spoiling his wife before, was "picky" about his wife in the show, and the disgust was overflowing, which instantly triggered public anger.
Netizens almost one-sidedly hate this "leak king", wang Zulan, who thought that he would "skyrocket" because of this, did not expect to overturn in this show.
Wang Zulan can be summed up in one sentence: "Success is also Xiao He, and defeat is also Xiao He."
His success stems from the audience's love, ordinary looks, low height, general origin, can go to the top of the entertainment industry, is an inspirational representative of the turnaround of small people.
But who would have thought that the human design overturned so quickly, Wang Zulan's exposure was the same as his collapsed reputation, and it quickly turned into "ash".
The anxious Wang Zulan messed up the square inches and began to step up the way to earn fast money.
Live streaming with goods has become his main business for a period of time, a live broadcast of more than one million viewers, directly into the account of 6 million yuan, achievements and income is still OK, but it is difficult to return to the previous peak.
< h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="70" > conclusion</h1>
I don't know if you have noticed that after Wang Zulan quit "Running Man", his luck also faded.
Words such as inspirational for small people and turning over of small people are no longer used in him, but are instead plagued by derogatory images such as "money" and "false".
Now, will anyone think that Zeng Zhiwei "summoned the old ministry back to Hong Kong for emergency relief"? Perhaps it should be regarded as Zeng Zhiwei leaving a back road for Wang Zulan more appropriately.
For Wang Zulan, everything he had earned before was enough.
200 million Hong Kong dollars of real estate in hand, and rose to the management of TVB, fame and fortune, the name of "the king of leaks" is really not a white description of him, this time he not only quietly turned over, and can withdraw from the whole body, ask how many people in the many Hong Kong stars in the north?
