Nowadays, many stars are not developing on the road of performing arts, and the sideline behind them has gradually become the main business. Some open hot pot restaurants, some open clothing stores, and they can be found everywhere. Let me give you some examples.
: 1: Edison Chen
In those years, Edison Chen was very popular in the entertainment circle. It is because of those photos that his acting career has been declining. However, his fashion clothes are becoming more and more popular, which makes him internationally famous and sought after by many young people.
2: Dong Xuan
Dong Xuan was also very popular with the audience at that time, but because of her marriage, she rarely appeared in public view. However, what she cooked in Beijing Parent-child Restaurant is very popular. Only half a month after opening, her turnover exceeded one million, and her career reached its peak.
Nowadays, many stars have turned their acting career into a sideline, but the original sideline has become their main business.
The entertainment circle has experienced ups and downs, and many stars have been popular for a while, but then they gradually disappeared. Many of these stars are not very good in performing arts on the surface, but in fact they are thriving in other fields.
I. Summer rain
Yu Xia's debut was the pinnacle. With the debut of Sunny Days, she won six Grand Slams, namely Venice International Film Festival, Singapore Film Festival, Golden Horse Award, Golden Rooster Award, Golden Phoenix Award and Beijing University Film Festival, which was a smash hit and was recognized by the majority of fans. But once he disappeared from the screen for a long time, which made people mistakenly think that he was out of breath.
Actually, it's not. His first hobby was extreme sports such as skateboarding. Before he entered the entertainment circle, he had won the honor of Qingdao skateboarding champion. It was just a mistake to make a movie.
Now he just spends more time on skateboarding, skiing, magic and other "play" projects, and the effect is quite good. Now he is a professional referee of the national skateboarding competition. Won the Swiss Tierishan Cup amateur snowboarding champion. 20 14 became a special commentator on snowboarding in Sochi Winter Olympics. In order to be a commentator for the Winter Olympics, he refused Tsui Hark's invitation!
Second, Edison Chen.
It's no exaggeration. If the computer hadn't broken down, no one might be able to stop Edison Chen's China entertainment circle now. He is not only handsome, but also a first-class actor. Especially those movies with Shawn Yue, Infernal Affairs, the initial D and Jianghu are not classics. And "dog bites dog". It can be seen that although Edison Chen was a small fresh meat at that time, its professional level was not comparable to that of small fresh meat now!
Now he has completely quit the entertainment circle, but his street brand career is still very prosperous. At present, CLOT has a fashion brand and JUICE, a fashion brand collection store. Now CLOT has become the most powerful star fashion brand in China, with an annual income of over 70 million, and its business scope has covered clothing design, public relations marketing, marketing and other fields. JUICE, a fashion store brand, is also the agent of international fashion brands such as Supereme, and has a good position in the minds of young people in first-tier cities!
Now Edison Chen is not a big star, but a standard overbearing president and female slave. Sending a daughter is also a big gift. Last Christmas, the gift for my daughter was a box of Supereme and LV with a value of 500,000 RMB!
Third, Hu Haiquan.
Influenced by the partner, the entertainment circle is stagnant, but the sideline business is booming. In addition, Hu Haiquan's sideline income is much higher than that of the entertainment industry. Comparatively speaking, the entertainment circle is like his sideline!
In addition to owning the controlling stake in the entertainment company Masterculture, his more prominent source of wealth is his nine funds, collectively referred to as "Haiquan Fund", with a fund management scale of nearly 2 billion. Now Haiquan Fund has become a venture capital fund of the National Industrial Guidance Fund, and has invested in many projects, among which Tiger Securities, Big Coffee Auction, Garbo Car Rental and so on are familiar to us.
In order to invest in his career, Hu Haiquan also made great efforts. For example, I participated in "I am a singer" a few years ago, and I was still nervously preparing for the fund exam in the lounge during the rehearsal.
Fourth, Zhou Jie.
Zhou Jie, who was once called "French Kissing Actress" and made a great splash on the set, got into trouble because of various pressures. Now his most popular expression packs are probably those!
Many fans once thought he was down and out. In fact, he has been making his own business map for so many years. He founded his own wine brand, owned wineries in France, opened a catering company and owned several Thai restaurants in Beijing. Now it has contracted thousands of acres of land in Northeast China, established its own farm and rice base, and owned its own organic rice brand.
How many trenches are there on the farm? Just look at the pictures and you will know that there is only Zhou Jie's manor in the vast open space, and it has been designed as a chitu. Zhou Jie usually drinks tea and entertains friends on the farm when he is free. I don't know how chic life is …
In the entertainment circle, there are many stars who are successful in sideline business, such as Huang Xiaoming, Jimmy Lin and Nicholas Tse, but there is one person who surprised me, because he used to be a member of a singer group. As a group, he has been in the public eye for many years, but after his partner was exposed, he was forced to fly solo. This is Hu Haiquan. What was once the most beautiful was popular all over the country. Unexpectedly, his sideline was several times better than his singing career.
44-year-old Hu Haiquan owns 57 companies, participates in investment, sets up business incubators and runs milk tea shops, acting like a business tycoon, which is a successful example of a star doing sideline business.
Hu Haiquan, who is usually very low-key, has become the person who accompanies the most stars in the entertainment circle in China. Maybe he is not the most popular or famous, but his value and assets must be amazing. He is a talented musician. In reality, he must be a very clever businessman!
Therefore, Hu Haiquan, who works hard in music, is actually the "invisible rich man" in the entertainment circle!
