In fact, some people have calculated Yu Dong's net worth for a long time, but it is basically not accurate because most people still don't know the specific relationship between Yu Dong and Jimmy.
Deep Space China has an agency holding agreement, and the information on Deep Space America's side is not made public, so many people think that Yu Dong's total shares are smaller than Jimmy's.
When these people calculate Yu Dong's income, they can also calculate his royalties and copyright income over the years.
But even for royalties and copyright income, most people cannot calculate it accurately, because no one except the Deep Space Company knows how many works Yu Dong has copyright income from.
As for the figure of one billion U.S. dollars, it was actually a wild guess made by a TV commentator from Baodao. He randomly found some information, put it together, and then came up with such a figure.
What is the concept of a billion dollars? Last year, Forbes published a list of the 400 richest people in the United States. The first place among them was Bill Gates, who has a net worth of more than 60 billion U.S. dollars, and the last place has a net worth of
It's more than 500 million US dollars.
In other words, Yu Dong can squeeze into this list, and he is not at the bottom.
After being pestered by reporters for a while, Jin Chengwu, who was lagging behind Dong and others, also caught up.
Seeing Yu Dong, Jin Chengwu wanted to say hello, but because he was surrounded by reporters, he could only nod.
Yu Dong also smiled and nodded in response, and then pulled Cheng Yanqiu into the building.
…
The Baodao Golden Melody Awards has a short history, from 1990 to now, it is just the tenth session. However, it has developed very well in the past few years, and its gold content is getting higher and higher.
However, this year's Golden Melody Awards ceremony seemed a bit shabby. The auditorium was very small and there was a cramped stage in front of it, which could not even support a dance program.
There is an auditorium with a very steep slope close to the stage, but even with the increased slope, the auditorium was not able to accommodate many people.
Yu Dong and Cheng Yanqiu were placed in the middle and front. This was already the most spacious place in the auditorium, but it still made Yu Dong feel a little crowded. When they came from the aisle, they would accidentally step on other people's feet.
Along the way, many people greeted Yu Dong, but most of them did not recognize Yu Dong and could only nod in response.
After a while, someone came to the empty seat next to Yu Dong.
He was a middle-aged man wearing glasses and a little fat. When he saw Yu Dong, he greeted him very enthusiastically: "Teacher Yu Dong, what a coincidence, we are sitting together."
Seeing the man, Yu Dong raised his eyebrows and said, "You are Mr. Duan, right?"
Duan Zhongtan laughed and said, "You can just call me Zhongtan. Calling you Mr. Duan is too foreign. I heard on my way here that you were coming to this year's Golden Melody Awards, so I was thinking that my position would be separated from yours."
It’s not far away. I’m looking for an opportunity to say hello to you. I didn’t expect that the two of us are sitting together.”
"Well, it's quite a coincidence indeed."
Yu Dong didn't expect Duan Zhongtan to be so enthusiastic. Duan Zhongtan is the boss of the Rolling Stones and is supposed to be a rival to Deep Space Music. Not long ago, Deep Space Music poached their new group Mayday.
However, Mayday has not yet fulfilled its talent. Maybe it is not particularly important in Duan Zhongtan's eyes. They just lost a combination with some potential.
Furthermore, although Deep Space Music and the Rolling Stones are in a competitive relationship, there is more than one Deep Space Music company.
Duan Zhongtan can see clearly that although the current development of Deep Space Company in the Baodao market is not as good as that of China and the United States, it will not be long before Deep Space will definitely dominate Baodao's entertainment industry.
Although the Rolling Stones and Deep Space Music have a rivalry, there is no need to regard each other as enemies, so when he saw Yu Dong, Duan Zhongtan greeted him warmly and wanted to build a good relationship with Yu Dong.
Yu Dong was not very interested in Duan Zhongtan. He came to the Golden Melody Awards purely to accompany his wife to see Xiao Zhou, so he only treated Duan Zhongtan politely.
"Mainland's economy has developed very well in recent years, and so has its music."
Yu Dong nodded: "It's not bad. The mainland's economic development is also a good thing for Baodao, and it will help cross-strait economic and cultural exchanges."
At this point, Duan Zhongtan suddenly stopped talking and changed the subject: "I heard that Deep Space Company will release several more movies this year, and they will definitely be big hits."
Seeing Duan Zhongtan change the subject, Yu Dong glanced at him meaningfully, and then said with a smile: "Deep Space has its own movie plan every year, but we hope to make some achievements in music. Rolling Stone
As a well-established company in the Taiwanese music industry, the future development of deep space music in Baodao still needs Mr. Duan’s care."
Duan Zhongtan twitched his lips, "Easy to say, easy to say."
While the two were chatting, the hosts Xiaoyan and Tao Zi were already on stage. Duan Zhongtan smiled and said, "Oh, it's about to start."
Yu Dong nodded, "Well, let's begin."
…
The venue was so small, so of course there were no performances. After the host came on stage, he first gave a warm-up speech and then started awarding awards directly.
The Best Male Dialect Singer and the Best Female Dialect Singer were first awarded to Huang Yiling and Shen Wencheng respectively.
After the two most inconspicuous awards were awarded, the Best Singing Group and Best Newcomer awards were awarded to Southern Duo and Lin Xiaopei respectively.
And from here on, some awards have something to do with Jay Chou.
In fact, when the Best New Artist award was not given to Jay Chou, Yu Dong and others were relieved. This proves that Jay Chou's possibility of winning the Best Pop Vocal Record has greatly increased.
However, the subsequent Best Record Producer and Best Lyricist awards were not won, which made Jay Chou, who was sitting in front of Yu Dong and the others, a little nervous. After all, there were only two awards left, and there were not many chances of not winning any more.
When it was time to win the title of Best Composer, Yu Dong saw Jay Chou sitting in front of him with his hand on his chin motionless.
Yu Dong couldn't help but smile. It looked like this kid was as steady as an old dog, but actually he was probably extremely nervous inside.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Li Zongsheng, who is in charge of awarding awards, also likes to tell the truth. He took the movie in his hand and said to Ouyang Feifei next to him: "It seems to be two words."
As soon as he said his name was two words, there was a sudden burst of shouts of "Shunzi" and "Shunzi".
Because among the five nominees for Best Composer, only Shunzi has two characters, the other four are Jay Chou, Yuan Weiren, Fang Wenliang and Pan Xieqing.
Ouyang Feifei looked at the card and rolled his eyes, "You made a mistake. It's three words."
Li Zongsheng showed a "sudden" expression: "Oh, yes, there is another word covered by my hand, it is indeed three words."
After what he did, the other shortlisted composers breathed a sigh of relief, and Shunzi's mentality almost collapsed.
Originally it was just two words, and it was basically her, but now it seems that among the five people, she is the only one who has no hope.
Li Zongsheng gave up the lie for a moment, but did not try again and directly announced his name: "Congratulations to Jay Chou! "Lovely Woman"!"
After the results were announced, Yu Dong saw Jay Chou sitting in front of him suddenly stand up.
After Jay Chou stood up, he was stunned for two seconds before he remembered and turned around.
Turning around, he first hugged Yu Dong, and then when he was about to hug Cheng Yanqiu, he suddenly stopped and instead bent down to greet him. Then he walked onto the stage surrounded by people next to him.
Yu Dong and the others also sat down. He smiled and said to Cheng Yanqiu, "Fortunately, at least I can guarantee that I won't leave empty-handed."
Cheng Yanqiu curled his lips, "It should be given to "Indian Old Turtle Dove"."
Hearing Cheng Yanqiu's casual thoughts, Yu Dong laughed. When Cheng Yanqiu heard that "Lovely Woman" was shortlisted for best composition, she had complained a lot.
Cheng Yanqiu believes that "Indian Turtle Dove" deserves the award more than "Lovely Woman".
"Didn't you say it yourself? There is no unified standard for music aesthetics. You can't ask these judges to have the same aesthetics as you, right?" Yu Dong said with a smile.
Cheng Yanqiu rolled his eyes and ignored Yu Dong.
Jay Chou on the stage had already started to "thank you".
His acceptance speech was really lackluster. He basically thanked everyone he could except thank you.
"Thank you, Teacher Cheng, and thank you, Brother Dong. I thought they wouldn't come, but I suddenly called two days ago and said they wanted to come. But at that time, I was not only excited, but also a little worried. I was worried that if I didn't get the award, I would be in front of the two of them.
Embarrassed. Now that I have won the Best Composition Award, I am relieved. At least I will not be embarrassed. This is my first Golden Melody Award, but it will definitely not be the last one. Thank you everyone."
After giving his acceptance speech, Jay Chou was about to go down, but was stopped by the host Tao Zi, "Jay, Jay, don't go down yet, let's chat with everyone first."
Jay Chou quickly ran back holding the trophy.
Tao Zi came up to him and said with a smile: "First of all, congratulations to Jay Lun for winning the best composer. You just debuted this year. It's really gratifying to win such a weighty award."
"thanks, thanks."
"Jielun, you just mentioned that Mr. Yu and Mrs. Yu were also at the scene today. It seems that they really value you. Now that you have won the best composition, they must be very happy. I heard that it is Mrs. Yu
The discerning eye discovered you, is this true?"
Jay Chou said: "Speaking of discovery, I want to thank Brother Xian. Brother Xian first took me on the road of professional music, and then I was lucky enough to be discovered by Teacher Cheng and Brother Dong, and then I got the "Jay Chou"
Album. I also want to thank my mother, who forced me to learn piano since I was a child, so when I met Teacher Cheng and the others for the first time, I was able to attract them with the piano. Teacher Cheng is a very powerful pianist."
"Haha, Mrs. Yu is a very good pianist, we all know that. Do you think it is your piano skills that have attracted you attention?"
Jay Chou nodded: "Yeah."
Tao Zi joked: "Have you heard that? You must learn piano well in the future, maybe someone will find out one day. Okay, I won't waste your time. You go down and take your seat first. There will be the last one later.
There is a prize to be awarded.”
Jay Chou turned to leave, but Tao Zi added: "If you think you can win the next award, you can wait in the audience first."
It was originally a joke, but what Tao Zi didn't expect was that Jay Chou actually didn't return to his seat, but stood under the stage, waiting silently.
When Yu Dong saw Jay Chou waiting under the stage, he twitched his lips and couldn't help but said: "This guy is an idiot."
Cheng Yanqiu said with a smile: "I think Xiao Zhou is quite funny, and even though he doesn't speak, he is actually quite conceited. He really feels that he should win the Best Record Award."
Yu Dong nodded and expressed his approval. Jay Chou may look a little shy on the outside, but he is very conceited in his heart.
Of course, if a creative person doesn't have any ego in his heart and doesn't think his work is the best, then he might as well stop creating.
The last award was given by Luo Dayou and Zhou Huajian. These two people were more straightforward.
The main reason is that Luo Dayou is more straightforward. After coming up, he directly announced his acceptance to Zhou Huajian without even saying a word: "The winner of the best pop album is - Jay Lun!"
When he heard his name, Jay Chou in the audience directly supported the stage with his hands and jumped up.
This special way of taking the stage shocked both Luo Dayou and Zhou Huajian.
Jay Chou was much more calm when he went on stage for the second time, but he had already finished all the acceptance speeches he could say. After he went up, he thanked him again for the same ones he had just thanked.
Jay Chou broke many records tonight. For example, he is the youngest winner. He has just turned twenty this year. When the album "Jay Chou" was released, he was only nineteen years old.
He is also the first person to win the Best Album Award just after his debut, which has never happened before.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! A twenty-year-old young man won the best album and best work in the first year of his debut. It can be said that he made history.
Sitting in the auditorium, Yu Dong looked at Jay Chou who was surrounded by people on the stage and nodded with a smile. He knew that this kid would create a lot of history in the future and make a colorful scene in the Chinese music scene.
After the award ceremony, there were interviews with reporters and celebration sessions, but Yu Dong and Cheng Yanqiu did not participate.
Cheng Yanqiu said he wanted to have some snacks during the day, so after coming out of the Sun Yat-Sen Memorial Hall, Yu Dong asked his entourage to take them to the South Airport.
This is a small night market. Before, Yu Dong asked Wu Qingyou, the owner of Eslite Bookstore, what night markets he recommended in the North City. Wu Qingyou recommended the South Airport. He said that there are more locals in the South Airport and the taste is better.
good.
After arriving at South Airport, Yu Dong immediately understood why there were more locals here. Because the place is relatively remote, it is not easy for tourists to come here.
Following Wu Qingyou's recommendation, Yu Dong took Cheng Yanqiu to buy a glutinous rice dumpling to be packaged, and then ordered two portions of Yamauchi chicken rice, and that was it for dinner.
The weather is getting warmer, and the night market is still quite lively. You can see locals wearing big pants and slippers everywhere walking through the streets, and the tables around are also filled with locals.
The couple did not put on any disguises, and no one noticed them. When they arrived, the boss looked at them twice, but maybe because the couple's appearance and temperament were more outstanding, he did not say that he recognized them.
In fact, there are fewer people in Baodao who can recognize Yu Dong than in the United States and mainland China.
The media in the United States is developed, and Yu Dong has appeared in the United States a long time ago, so many readers know what Yu Dong looks like.
Although the media in mainland China is not very developed, there are intensive reports about Yu Dong, and TV stations like CCTV will also broadcast news about Yu Dong. As time goes by, more and more people will know Yu Dong's face.
It's different here in Baodao. Although many people here know Yu Dong's name, they don't know much about Dong's appearance. People in Baodao don't pay much attention to the looks of people who are not singers or film and television stars.
But that's okay, at least they can eat in peace.
Yu Dong and the others hadn't finished finishing the glutinous rice balls in their hands. As soon as the chicken rice they ordered came, four young men aged sixteen or seventeen came over from the table next to them.
Just listen to one of the tall and thin young men say: "Today's Golden Melody Awards ceremony."
"Oh, it's strange that you still pay attention to these." A chubby guy wearing glasses next to him joked.
"You don't usually listen to music, so why don't you care?"
"I only listen to songs and don't care who wins the award. And my mother said that these awards are all handled internally, and really good songs don't get awards."
"Okay, "The Butterfly Effect" will be released next week, should we go to the cinema to watch it together?"
"I don't want to watch it. I want to save money to buy games."
"Didn't you just buy the collector's edition of "Escape"? What game do you want to buy again?"
"Lianliankan, I play it on the computer. I heard it will be online on Baodao in May. My cousin told me that many people in the United States are playing Lianliankan."
"I also need a computer, but I don't have a computer at home."
"Don't buy it. The DVDs are out. My uncle showed them to me two days ago."
"Really? Is it a genuine disc?"
