New York 2006

Chapter 126 Forbes World Celebrity List
In Los Angeles, California, Kristen Stewart was sitting alone in the living room of her home, reading the unpublished third installment of the "Twilight" novel series, "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse."At this point she saw the middle part.

"Due to the menacing army of vampire newborns, in order to protect Bella, the two feuding races, werewolves and vampires, will unite to resist the new danger."

What blood!

Kristine thought to herself as she read the novel, but she only dared to think about it in her heart and did not dare to say it out loud.

In the film adaptation of the "Twilight" novel, novel author Stephanie has very great rights, second only to producer Zhu and Logic.Most importantly, the author of the novel didn't like her very much.

Things still have to start with Christine becoming the heroine. Under normal circumstances, film projects are completed by completing the script, confirming the director, and then the director and producer select the actors.

However, some time ago, because Logic's game company wanted to gamify the novel "Twilight" and also promote the movie, it had to determine the male and female protagonists in advance, and then model them based on their images.

Zhu Haowei, general manager of Logic Pictures, and Stephanie, the novel's author, both wanted to hold an audition.

Let Logic stand with other actresses to see if they feel CP.But at that time, Logic was in New York preparing for a world tour.So he refused the audition and let Zhu Haowei sign him directly.

Because the heroine had not passed the audition, Stephanie had always felt uncomfortable, but she did not dare to get angry at Logic, so she could only point the finger at herself. During this period of time when she was studying the script, she had not been feeling good about herself.

"Oh, Logic knows how to spend money randomly. This bloody movie may not make money. If you like me and want to please me, it would be great to express your love to me directly. What's wrong with investing 5000 million? You have to do this Do something to please me."

Kristen Stewart said to herself that this is not narcissism on her part, but it is based on facts.

"Twilight" is obviously a novel with a female protagonist and a female perspective, and boys generally don't like it.

Moreover, Logic directly confirmed himself without going through an audition.It's obvious that Logic prepared this movie for her, and he clearly wanted to please her.

He is about the same age as me, so handsome, so talented, and rich.It would be great if he took the initiative!
Kristine thought wildly in her mind about a girl's troubles.

Is Logic a little shy? Should I be more proactive?But he has a girlfriend?Didn't he take the initiative with me before?But why didn't he take the initiative later?Where is he now?I seem to miss him a little.

Kristine picked up the pillow on the sofa and threw it: "It's so annoying!"

"What are you worried about?"

Kristen's best friend walked in with a Forbes magazine in her hand. Kristen glanced at it and saw that the cover of the magazine was Logic, which troubled her.

Kristen pointed at the magazine in confusion and said, "What magazine is this? Why is Logic on the cover?"

"This issue of the magazine is on the Forbes list of the world's [-] most powerful celebrities. Logic was ranked second on the list for the first time, so the magazine directly put him on the cover."

Kristen opened her mouth in surprise and said in disbelief: "Second!?"

The "Forbes" list of the world's [-] most powerful celebrities is usually released in mid-to-late June of the year.

The statistics are based on the entertainment-related income of film and television actors, directors, producers, singers, models, writers, athletes, etc. around the world in the past twelve months, as well as their exposure in print media, television, radio, the Internet, and social media , and then carry out comprehensive ranking.

On the cover of the magazine, Luo Ji was wearing a suit and a blue tie, with his hands clasped in front of his chest. His expression was cold, and his face was dimly lit in the light and shadow.He looked very imposing, like a domineering president.

The female best friend said: "Logic is simply a walking money printing machine. If you look at the first article in the magazine, it is a detailed report about him."

Kristen took the magazine and read it. The title of the article was.

"Who is Logic?" Who is Logic.

"In the past twelve months, Logic has occupied the first place in the ranking of searches for "Who is" on Google. Like everyone else, I am very curious about the past life of this blockbuster singer. What kind of thing? Let me introduce the 16-year-old singer’s experience of becoming famous.”

"Logic, whose real name is Felix Slott Rowe, was born in New York on August 1990, 8. He grew up in Greenwich Village as a child. His father is..."

Kristine looked at the article introducing Logic's past experiences. Except for a few new information, other major events in the article were the same as reported in the market.She had read many articles that were almost the same.

The only difference is that this article contains many interviews with people around her, as well as several photos of Luo Ji when she was a child. This is the first time she has seen it in the media.

Pointing to the photo of Luo Ji with a blush on his face when he was a child, his girlfriend said, "Isn't it cute? It just melts my heart."

"It's really cute."

The female best friend continued: "He was so pitiful when he was a child. He lived in an environment like an RV camp, with drugs and guns everywhere. His past was so tragic!"

"He's successful now!" After Kristine finished speaking, she continued to read the article in the magazine.After the magazine introduced Luo Ji, he emerged from the RV camp and became famous.Finally, I started to introduce topics related to the World Celebrity List.

"Logic ranks second on this year's Celebrity [-] list for the Internet over the past twelve months, behind Britney Spears. Logic ranks ninth for magazines and eighth for television."

"Logic's overall ranking in these social influence indexes is relatively high, but the highest weight in the rankings is revenue. Let's take a look at Logic's entertainment revenue in the past twelve months!"

"Logic's album, single physical record sales, digital record sales, plus mobile phone ringtone sales, total personal income before tax is 6723 million US dollars. Ordinary singers cannot earn so much from their records, but Logic has his own record company , he can get the bulk of the proceeds.”

“Logic’s songs have been used in film and television soundtracks, advertising songs, radio and television broadcasts, etc. The income from his YouTube videos, his own commercial performance income, and his endorsement advertising income totaled 1424 million US dollars before personal tax. .”

"Logic's global concerts have a total personal pre-tax income of 2080 million US dollars."

Kristen Stewart's eyes widened: "So Logic alone made $1.02 million in cash in the past twelve months?"

"Yeah, that's why I said he is a walking cash transport machine." My best friend stepped forward and took Kristen's hand: "I saw a report this morning that Logic came to Los Angeles. Do you know?"

Kristine said: "I really don't know this."

The female best friend said: "So when Logic is in Los Angeles, will there be a party for him to enter the Forbes celebrity list? He is still ranked second. Only Oprah has surpassed him on earth."

Kristine thought for a while and said, "Wait a moment, let me make a call and ask?"

The female best friend said with envy: "You have such a good relationship, you can call me at any time."

At the Burbank Studio in Los Angeles, Luo Ji was filming a Pepsi commercial not long ago.But now the filming has encountered some technical problems and the crew has taken a break.

So Luo Ji went to his private dressing room, found a chair, and started playing with his cell phone. Not long after he started playing, a call came over, and Christine's voice came from the cell phone.

"Logic, congratulations, you have become No. [-] on the Forbes World Celebrity List."

It's one thing to be worth hundreds of millions, but it's another thing to be able to earn hundreds of millions of dollars in cash a year.After the Forbes celebrity list came out today, the messages and phone calls congratulating him have not stopped.

"Haha, I didn't expect that the rankings in previous years would not be so weak. I only got such a high ranking because I encountered a good opportunity."

"Where are you in Los Angeles now?"

Luo Ji asked in confusion: "How did you know that I came to Los Angeles? My schedule is quite confidential."

"I saw it in the media." Kristen continued: "You know, paparazzi are everywhere."

Luo Ji smiled cheerfully and said, "I'm currently shooting a commercial at a studio in Burbank."

"By the way, are you going to throw a party for this?" Kristen asked quietly.

At this moment, Luo Ji saw Taylor walking in from outside, so he quickly said to Kristen on the other end of the phone, "I have something to do here."

"Hey Hey hey."

Kristen shouted into the phone, but Luo Jiji hung up. Luo Ji looked at Taylor with a smile, and Taylor asked, "Who called you just now?"

Luo Ji said without changing his expression: "A friend of mine called to congratulate me. He came to congratulate me on becoming No. 2 on Forbes' celebrity list!"

Luo Ji knew that although Taylor didn't say it, she definitely didn't like Christine, who was about to shoot a romantic vampire movie with Luo Ji.

"Your career is so successful that I will be very stressed."

Taylor continued in a joking tone: "I don't want to be called Logic's girlfriend by the media, I want to be called Taylor Swift. It will be difficult for me to deal with you being so good."

Although Taylor said it in a joking tone, Luo Ji knew that it was actually her true thoughts.

Taylor is good at everything, but he is too ambitious.Although Taylor is usually polite to the media, his character seems a bit weak.But she is actually very strong and wants to do her best in everything.

"Then you have to work hard on your own, there is nothing I can do." Luo Ji said with a smile: "I can't yell to the media, don't call Taylor Logic's girlfriend, call her the super invincible beautiful girl Taylor!"

"Hahaha, you can definitely say that to the media." Taylor held Luo Ji's arm and said with a happy smile.
