with the entry of capital, in recent years, entertainment stars are all worth a lot of money and often earn tens of millions of dollars. And its biggest support is social influence and fan economy. And because of the scarcity of stars and the rush of capital, listed companies that spend a lot of money to bind stars can be found everywhere.

for companies, star IP is risky, so binding should be cautious. On April 12, film star Bai Baihe was exposed for "having an affair in marriage", which immediately sparked a heated debate. According to a hot search on Weibo, the related topic has been discussed by netizens 480 million times. As of the press deadline, Bai Baihe and his wife have not made a reply.

in fact, there are not a few entertainment stars whose wealth has fallen as a result of negative news such as "cheating". Some industry insiders who spoke on condition of anonymity said in an interview with reporters: "in 2013, film and television star articles were confirmed to be unfaithful, and the popularity of former popular young students greatly decreased. Since then, the number of their works and the status of the industry have plummeted." still haven't got rid of the sequelae of 'derailment'. More importantly, after the affair, the film the article participated in was' boycotted'by netizens, and the investors who signed with it at a high price became a 'scapegoat'. "

"it is not known whether Bai Baihe's work will be boycotted. It is certain that investors will take into account the impact of this negative news when selecting co-stars in the future." The above industry insiders believe that.

so, what is the value of Bai Baihe at present?

in 2011, Bai Baihe starred in 33 days of being lovelorn, and then soared in the entertainment industry. Until 2015, Bai Baihe served as the heroine of Monster Hunt. The film finally earned 2.438 billion yuan at the box office, breaking the domestic box office record at that time, and Bai Baihe was named "Queen of 4 billion at the box office."

in this context, Bai Baihe's salary is also rising. According to people familiar with the matter, Bai Baihe currently earns between 8 million yuan and 10 million yuan for film and about 500000 yuan per episode for TV series.

at the same time, Bai Baihe also set up his own studio and became a star boss. Industrial and commercial materials show that at present, Bai Baihe (formerly known as Bai Xue) is the legal representative of Shanghai Baibaihe Film and Television Culture Studio and the legal representative of Nanjing Dehe Film and Television Culture Studio, which can be the shareholder of Mutual Entertainment and e-sports.

was founded in January 2016 for Mutual Entertainment. Bai Baihe, as a star investor, paid RMB 10,000 and subscribed for a capital contribution of RMB 1 million, accounting for 8.19% of the company's total share capital. At the same time, Bai Baihe also served as the company's "Chief Dream Officer" and served as the producer and producer of the upcoming cinema animated film "Simei".

what is interesting is that as a star investor who can entertain each other, Zhang Ziyi actually contributed 37800 yuan, and only subscribed 873000 yuan. Obviously, in this company, Bai Baihe's "star" value is more valuable than Zhang Ziyi.

it is understood that within one year after the establishment of mutual entertainment, two rounds of financing have been obtained. In October 2016, at a strategy conference for mutual entertainment, Wang Ke, the company's founder and CEO, announced the latest financing, with investors including low-light venture capital, Flint Capital, Yinhan Games, etc., when Wanke announced that the company was valued at nearly 1 billion yuan. According to this ratio, Bai Baihe's capital contribution of 10,000 yuan instantly became 81.9 million yuan, an increase of more than 8000 times.

on the other hand, Bai Baihe's star price is even more prominent in the company e-sports. Data show that e-sports is an incubator under Datang Network, which was founded in June 2016. according to relevant reports, e-sports completed round A financing two months after its establishment, with an initial fund-raising amount of 90 million yuan. Bai Baihe actually contributed 0 yuan and subscribed 450000 yuan, accounting for 2.27% of the total share capital of the company, and appeared as a star partner. According to the above amount, Bai Baihe has earned 2.043 million yuan by virtue of this investment.

"it has long been common to exchange fame for equity," said one brokerage analyst. In the entertainment industry, stars use their influence to contribute a small part of the capital, or simply do not contribute, they can get a stake in an entertainment company. This has become a common phenomenon in the industry. On the one hand, big-name stars are scarce, and it is very difficult for small and medium-sized entertainment companies to hire A-list stars, so they can only rely on money. On the other hand, stars also enjoy it. After all, VC is a business without capital. It is definitely easier to make money than filming, and there is no limit on the number. You only need to stand on the platform and get millions of dollars. "
