Speaking of Donnie Yen, what is your impression of him? Is it the image of a patriotic star or a Wing Chun master, Ip Man. Or a maniac who loves to show off his affection to his wife for 18 years. Looking back at the evaluation of him by the media and the audience, it seems that most of them think that he is relatively low-key. But in fact, the assets he owns are anything but low-key and invisible. Back then, the Donnie Yen and Zhao Wenzhuo drama scandal caused quite a stir. The stars took sides and were bombarded by the fans of the two families. Therefore, Donnie Yen's salary was also made a fuss by the media. With an actor's salary of 30 million yuan, he was offered a price of 5 million yuan to serve as a producer. This is how he got the highest reputation in the universe.
It is said that the media is chasing rumors, but Donnie Yen never directly answered the salary question, leaving only one sentence: When my bank deposit was only 100 Hong Kong dollars, no one asked me for US dollars. This statement does not explicitly deny rumors that the salary is too high. Donnie Yen's remuneration has been the subject of media attention since Ip Man. One of the most important reasons for Ip Man's fire is undoubtedly the fact that our country's starry sky is broken, and Chinese kung fu movies may be about to go bankrupt. As the last star in Hong Kong, Donnie Yen was famous internationally at that time. He participated in Ip Man at the age of 45. Therefore, from Ip Man 1 to Ip Man 4, Donnie Yen's salary has also increased. Taking away one-third of the film investment from the 30 million investment, his remuneration doubled several times. The investment in Ip Man 4 isn't small, and the returns aren't disappointing either. It directly broke the box office record of Kung Fu movies with more than 1 billion and has high enthusiasm in Southeast Asian countries. Huang Baiming praised it in the interview.
But in fact, since Fist of Fury in 1995, Donnie Yen's income has not been low. Some netizens broke the news that according to a report published in a magazine that year, Fist of Fury received a remuneration of HK$5 million, which may be related to his remuneration. Part-time martial arts instructor but he could get it that year. To reach this number is very impressive. News broke that when he traveled to Hollywood for a guest appearance in Blade, he was paid around $1.5 million, a salary that at the time was in the tens of millions. The next few movies, Hero of the West and Killer Wolf, remained between 8 million and 10 million. By 2008, the number of rumors about Ip Man had increased to 30 million. These are still prices that don't include box office dividends, let alone earnings from bad movies made over the years. It's probably the best proof that stars date, that the martial arts movie landscape is almost entirely dominated by Donnie Yen.
With a salary, I have a house, just like many celebrities are keen on buying a house. Donnie Yen is as crazy about buying real estate as his beloved wife Shishi Wang. Earlier, some netizens speculated that Donnie Yen purchased 6 properties 14 years ago and was valued at 300 million that year. Two of them belong only to the name of the wife and the beloved wife did not run away. Just then Wang Shishi spent US$35 million to purchase two properties. Since it was not a first-hand purchase, only stamp duty was paid for 5.18 million. This really makes the house slave jealous. Before Hong Kong Star Singapore became a hot property purchase, it was caricatured in cartoons in Singaporean newspapers. Of course, the couple didn't miss the follow-up craze. According to Singapore real estate agents. They found several prime locations worth between $5 million and $10 million.
Donnie Yen lives a low-key life and buys a house in a high-profile manner. Do you think his asset valuation is a bit impressive? After viewing a realistic rendering of the high-end home they were looking for, six words of unattainable dreams floated across their foreheads. Whether it is the exterior design or the greening of the community, you can see that it is very special and full of money. Real estate investing is no surprise among home buying stars. The most surprising thing is that Donnie Yen has unusual business acumen. In the late period of Hong Kong film production in 1997, he established a film and television company. He made his film directorial debut in 1997 with the film Legend of the Wolf Warrior. Since then, the company has begun to operate its director's new Tangshan Brothers Dance of Killing and other works.
Let me add some less popular knowledge: Brother Leslie Cheung’s Fairy Tale of the Star and the Moon, which is a thriller love novel also published and produced by the company Donnie Yen.
After Donnie Yen won the last box office hit in the golden age of Hong Kong movies, Donnie Yen resumed his career planning and began to do business outside the circle. A search for the company on the website revealed that it has registered multiple trademarks related to Donnie Yen's name covering various fields. I haven't seen relevant news about the medical equipment and scientific instrument categories yet, but the trendy brands are indeed his subordinates. It is a brand of fashionable sunglasses which has a high-end positioning. Prices are naturally a world you don’t understand for rich people.
In this way, he became the head of a fashion brand. Donnie Yen also co-founded a superhero film company in 2013. Mind is really the number one thing among celebrities. There are more houses and businesses so naturally there will be more luxury cars. Ferrari, said to be an entry-level supercar, is now very collectible. How many boys have dreamed of me ordering a Porsche for my wife and being scammed by the news and filing a lawsuit against the car dealer and staff.
I must say the salaries of celebrities are really chilling and it will be even more shocking if you do business wise without compensating. But I still hope that Donnie Yen will pick up the scripts and stop making bad movies. The age of the lead actor is a big issue. The physical strength and filming of some famous action movies are a treat for everyone.
