What’s New about Han Han and Guo Jingming?

In recent years, Han Han(韩寒) has become so fascinated with racing cars that he is even willing to spend all his income from writing on them. He says, “In the past, I spent at least one million yuan on racing cars. But from the year before last, I have begun to make money from renting my cars as much as from writing.” It is rumored that he got 40, 000 yuan by renting cars the year before last. But he says that he could have earned 10 times more if he had not signed a contract with his present racing team. In spite of his large income, he says, “I never buy things of famous brands, and I rarely buy clothes for myself. I spend no more than 5,000 yuan on clothing in a year.”

Just like Han, Guo Jingming(郭敬明) , another idol writer born in the 1980s, is also pursuing his development in the entertainment circle. Guo will sign a contract with Li Yuchun’s broker(李宇春的经纪公司) . If he succeeds, he will enter the film and recording industries, striving to become an all-around artist.

韩寒、郭敬明近况

近几年韩寒迷上赛车，甚至不惜把写作挣的钱全花在赛车上。韩寒表示：“虽然以前花了至少上百万元在赛车上，但从前年开始，我已经通过比赛挣钱了，而且挣得和写作差不多。”外界曾传言韩寒前年借赛车收入40万元左右。对此韩寒却说，如果不是和现在的车队有合约，他另签车队可以多10倍的收入。尽管收入不少，但韩寒自爆说：“我从不买名牌，很少给自己买衣服，一年算下来，给自己买衣服鞋袜的钱不会超过5000元。”

就在80后偶像作家韩寒钟情赛车之际，另一80后偶像作家郭敬明也在积极拓展其在娱乐圈的新空间。郭敬明将与李宇春所在的经纪公司签约，正式成为李宇春的师弟。如果郭敬明签约成功，他将向影视和唱片业进军，争做全能艺人。
