At the end of 2011, an entertainment website conducted a survey on the "second generation rich
" that women most want to marry, and ranked first, beating Jingshao. His father is a billion-dollar textile giant, and as the sole heir, Feng Shaofeng will take over the family business.
However, Feng Shaofeng prefers to be called the "rich generation". In fact, he is a very good earner. His salary standard is 201,000 episodes. In 2011 alone, his income from TV series exceeded 10 million, endorsements of Clarins, Tissot, Ermenegildo Zegna and other brands, as well as film remuneration and commercial performances, his annual income reached 20 million.
There are many "rich second generations" who know how to spend money, but few who know how to make money. At the end of 2011, Feng Shaofeng told us his story from "second generation rich" to "second generation rich"...
I will bring back as much money as I can in the future,
I will leave as much wealth as my father can leave me.
If there are no accidents, this is how I should live: When I am in a mansion, I get out of a sports car. At around three o'clock in the morning, I went to visit my company and learned some business skills. A few years or more later, I became the chairman. If I'm lucky, I'll continue to expand my business. If I'm not lucky, I might close my business. Of course, I'm going to have a kid with a life of his own, and so on and so forth.
But a decision by my dad changed my life. When I turned 18, he said I was an adult so I would only be responsible for the specific costs of education. As for life, enjoyment and entertainment, it's all my own business. He told me very directly that he would leave me as much wealth as I brought back from now on.
So, when I got to high school, I started thinking about my future. After comparing my own strengths and weaknesses, I decided on my future direction - the entertainment industry. I played the violin in elementary school, participated in drama clubs, speech contests, and served as a host. I think this is my advantage.
Shanghai Theater Academy When I came to our school to recruit students, I successfully passed the exams in three majors, and with excellent scores in the exams, I was admitted to the theater without taking the exam, and became the only student in the acting department to receive a scholarship.
My college career is very utilitarian and realistic. Many students are enjoying campus life carefree, falling in love, watching movies all night, or playing online games. But I rarely have such free time. I am very busy and know various directors, producers, and agencies. I was employed right after graduation at a time when unemployment after graduation was becoming more common.
But it is still difficult to find a job. No big investment characters can be found, and no senior support is available. I can only audition here and there, and walk-on players also do supporting roles. I hope I can go from a newcomer to a familiar face, and then from a green leaf to a red flower.
but I never succeeded. There are too few opportunities in Shanghai. After two years, apart from supporting myself, I had almost no savings. I decided to go to Beijing to develop. When I arrived in Beijing, the total money I had in hand was 8,400 yuan.
rented the basement for half a year and spent 3,000. I went to the supermarket to replenish daily necessities and spent 1,200. My total wealth has shrunk by half. But I didn’t even have time to worry about money. If I don’t get the role, I’ll be starved for up to two months.
This is the question he gave me before.
Now it is the question of whether I want it or not.
I persisted. When I was at my poorest, I ate a pack of Baixiang instant noodles for 40 cents for a month. The sequelae are that to this day, I feel nauseous when I smell instant noodles, and I change the channel immediately when I see an advertisement for instant noodles.
All efforts are not unrewarded. The rewards I want come little by little. I started with a reward of a few hundred dollars, and slowly turned it into four figures, and then five figures. I finally returned to a normal life, without worrying about food and housing.
Because the salary is not high, I can only take the route of winning by quantity. At most, I have seven or eight movies and TV series on at the same time. I walked through every lane in Hengdian skillfully. When I leave the shed and go into that group, I change into several outfits a day. By the standards of a third-rate actor, my income is close to that of a first-rate actor. The value of
from zero to 100,000 yuan is one hurdle, and the value from 100,000 yuan to 1 million yuan is another hurdle.Once you pass this threshold, money will come fast and furious. Then my desire for my father's property grew less and less.
It used to be a question of whether he would give it to me, but now it’s a question of whether I want it or not. I told him frankly that I didn’t want to give up my hard-earned career and go into business. I said that I wanted to continue being an actor and that I wanted my father to continue working in the company. I will only consider coming back when his energy is limited and he can't bear it anymore, or when I get tired of being in the entertainment industry. I feel very proud when I say this.
Use the money you earn,
Acquire the shares of my father's company
In the circle, no one knows that I am a "second generation rich", and no one believes that I am a "second generation rich". After returning to Beijing, there was a car accident, intracranial hemorrhage, two broken ribs, a cracked ear, and the car was completely scrapped. The first thing I said when I woke up was to ask the crew not to change people. I will definitely get better. After being hospitalized for 21 days, I returned to the set and continued filming.
In the end I became famous and became a first-line actor. Making money has become an easy task.
When my personal assets exceeded 10 million, I took my parents on a luxury trip to Hawaii. Stayed in the presidential suite where Whitney Houston stayed throughout the entire trip, rented a yacht to go out to sea, and took a Rolls-Royce convertible RV without walking.
The most expensive gift I gave them was a 400-square-meter villa in Hongqiao. My mom moved in and never wanted to leave. I laughed at her: "The house I live in is much more luxurious than the villa I bought. It is too big to be smaller." My mother's answer was: "Living in the house I bought is different from living in the house my son gave me."
My time as an actor is running out and my father is getting old. He said he wanted to retire early and travel the world with his mother. As for when I will retire, it all depends on when I am willing to go back and take over.
But I haven’t thought about it yet. I maintain a workload of several hundred TV series a year. I divided the income into two parts: one part is the total salary of the TV series, and the other part is the income other than the TV series. The latter is used to spend money to meet daily needs, buy things I like, and honor my parents, while the former is my confidence and capital to return to the business world in the future.
The TV series didn’t cost a penny, it was all used to buy stocks. Only buy the stock of Dad's company, put it on hold, and never sell it. I hope that one day I can become the number one individual shareholder of my father's company instead of inheriting my father's shares and joining the board of directors.
