Although one of the episodes of DuckTales mentions that Scrooge’s safe contains “607 trillion 386 trillion 947 trillion 522 billion dollars and 36 cents”, in reality, Forbes estimated his fortune at almost $65 billion.

15 richest fictional characters. The list was headed by the hero of "DuckTales" Scrooge McDuck, also known as "Uncle Scrooge". The richest drake made $65.4 billion in mining and treasure hunting. McDuck prefers to keep his fortune in the form of gold coins in a vault. He also sentimentally keeps an old dime, the first money he made on his own by shining his shoes.

The top 3 is closed by the father of the vampire family from the Twilight saga, Carlisle Cullen. On long-term financial transactions and investments, the immortal doctor made a fortune of $ 46 billion.

The list of the richest fictional characters also includes "Iron Man" Tony Stark. Despite the fact that Stark (played by Robert Downey Jr.) lost his Malibu mansion in the last film of the franchise, income from Stark Industries Corporation allowed him to take fourth place. Tony Stark is worth $12.4 billion.

The list also includes media mogul Charles Foster Kane from Citizen Kane (5th place, net worth $11.2 billion), Batman Bruce Wayne (6th place, net worth $9.2 billion), Lord Tywin Lannister from Game of Thrones.

He is followed by the hero of the television series Two and a Half Men, Walden Schmidt, who sold his program to Microsoft for $1.3 billion. Lara Croft artifacts (12th place, $1.3 billion). Mr. Monopoly from the popular board game became the 13th, his fortune is estimated at $ 1.2 billion. The heroine of the Downton Abbey series, Mary Crawley, with a legacy of $ 1.1 billion, took the penultimate place. Rounding out the rating is Jay Gatsby from The Great Gatsby ($1 billion).

Forbes ranks the richest fictional characters every year. The list includes heroes of literary works, films, television series and games. The rating participant must be known for his wealth in the world where he lives. It should also be the fruit of the author's imagination, so the heroes of the folk epic are not considered. When assessing the condition, the potential impact of the current economic situation on the character's assets is taken into account.

When Dan Harris turned 25, he was able to fulfill the dream of, probably, many film school students: he made his own film, that is, he directed it and wrote the script for it. And it does not matter that the picture went almost unnoticed, despite the fact that Sigourney Weaver, Jeff Daniels, Emile Hirsch and Michelle Williams starred in it, and with a budget of 10 million, the tape collected less than 300 thousand dollars in the world, that is, mere pennies. But on the other hand, the audience, which is not bad at philosophical family-type dramas, quite positively assessed the work of Dan Harris: on IMDb, the average score for Fictional Heroes is 7.3, on the CP it is only one tenth of a point less. Well, young by all standards, the cinematographer began to earn a name for himself, however, "Fictional Heroes" so far remains the only directorial work of Harris. An interesting fact is that Harris himself in the big movie started with adaptations of the comics about the "Isk-Men", and then worked on the "Return of Superman".

Weaver, Daniels, Hirsch and Williams are an average American family that lives according to all the canons of society, without standing out from the crowd of other similar families. But one day she is shattered by a terrible misfortune: the eldest son commits suicide His motives are unclear, everyone is in shock from what happened, meanwhile, numerous injuries are found on the body of the middle son, but he stubbornly remains silent where all these bruises and abrasions come from. The mother cannot reach him either, although she is at least trying to do something in the current situation, but the father stubbornly does not notice that loneliness and split reign in his family few people care about anyone, and the father of the family himself seems to be protected from other members of the cell society. Meanwhile, the middle son, who has closed in on himself, begins to learn the secrets of his family, which were carefully stored in the farthest closet and covered with centuries of dust, but still the skeletons began to fall and the last, largest skeleton can shock the guy, closing him from everyone else forever .

This is such a heavy, serious plot that Dan Harris succeeded in. It is necessary to follow what is happening carefully. Perhaps at first not all scenes will be clear, the question will arise “Why is this all here?”, But in the future everything will be sorted out so that the viewer can get a whole picture of the relationship to the family, around and inside which all this dramatic action takes place. Dan Harris tried to balance very clearly between the development of the picture and its dialogue basis. I can say that he did not always succeed. But this mistake can be attributed to his youth and inexperience. In order for the episodes of the film not to sag, not to fall out of the general series, the actors tried very hard. Sometimes they even tried too hard. And this is not something that seemed fake, rather, too deeply tragic, and there were scenes that did not seem to require this. And after a while, this excessive saturation with tragic emotionality and fragmentation of the characters leads to outright fury from these suffering faces.

And it would be all right if they suffered from the loss of a loved one, but it is noticeable here that all the heroes of "Fictional Heroes" are maximally focused on themselves. For example, Sigourney Weaver is a high-flying actress, she holds the lion's share of the picture, but only in places you can see that she restrains her charisma a bit and provides space for other actors. But the scenes with his middle son, played by Emile Hirsch, Weaver played really great. Emile Hirsch himself looks good against the background of Weaver, but when the scenes are given to his hero, then he bites into them with his teeth, trying to prove that he deserves something next to Weaver and Daniels. We know, Emil, that you are a good actor, but the excessive emotionality of your hero happened to give no reason to believe in your image. But dull as a mattress, Jeff Daniels looked like the most prosaic character, but at the same time the most natural. Although I wanted to give him a slap and say: “Look around: your family is collapsing, and you are sitting in an armchair!”.

This is what happens while watching the family drama "Fictional Heroes" in some places what is happening touches you, takes you to the quick and these scenes leave behind memorable episodes, they are so well staged. But there were also moments when it was not clear that the actors made up a common, integral team, as if they existed separately with their images. Although in any case, the performers deserve praise. And we can attribute the flaws in the film to the youth and inexperience of the director and screenwriter Dan Harris.

Remember what kind of fictional characters in the Soviet Union were somehow connected with the idea of ​​selling something? Only chicken Murzilka comes to mind in a scarf, a beret and a blue postman's bag over his shoulder. He, so to speak, (albeit with a stretch!) “ sold” children's magazine of the same name.

Alas, apart from Murzilka, we cannot remember a single fictional character who would be specially fictional in order to better and more fun sell this or that product or service. And all because the idea is - Western. The idea when to promote a product is not just borrowed, but more often invented from scratch - a fictional character!

Why is it so tight in Russia with imaginary characters written specifically to promote brands? And it's just that in Russia there was no such kind of literature! In our country, due to our historical realities, such an interesting genre as the genre of advertising has not developed. Although a related genre - the genre of political propaganda, visual agitation and caricature - existed quite tolerably well!

In general, a toy, fairy-tale character who shouts out some kind of advertisement, personifying his product by himself, is a fairground, farcical character, most often and historically - this, of course, is a puppet doll, parsley, punch, harlequin. Just imagine such a historical picture: a medieval European fair, where at the same time they sell everything and entertain with a simple puppet show, and you will understand everything. mask dolls Italian commedia dell'arte, most likely, formed the basis of this genre, which we are trying to describe and recreate here.

So, the Doctor and Lawyer dolls with their hilarious faces that have undergone professional deformation advertised themselves and their service industries - the pharmacopoeia and the notary. Well, Harlequin, who was small without education, but quick to learn any craft, may have advertised one or the other, depending on where he was taken to earn extra money and what curiosities came out of it. Harlequin, like some ubiquitous "Gavrila", either served as a baker - and baked a bun, then as a woodcutter - and chopped willow at the same time ...

In Russia, buffoonery in any of its forms has long been expelled by the Church from everywhere. Therefore, the fun fair and the puppet booth, inseparable from it, flourished only in the south - in Little Russia, that is, in Catholic Ukraine, since Catholics are generally tolerant of dolls. (Catholics even depict saints not as flat images painted on the plane of wooden icons, but as three-dimensional, “real” painted statues or miniature dolls).

Thus, if a European Catholic selling his goods at a fair could be helped by a wooden or rag Barker-Fictitious Character-Doll, then in Russia the merchant-seller himself had to shout out his own advertising ditties.

And here, gentlemen, the lottery is being played.

An ox tail and two fillets! ..

Another teapot is played without a lid, without a bottom -

Only one handle!

Funny? Intelligible? Yes, however, no fictitious characters... It turns out, however, this is what happens: in Russia, the genre of perky oral advertising is developing, just like in Europe, but... without its main amusing hero - a funny invented doll.

Time passed and the revolution in printing made it possible to make printed products - penny and mass. Thus, the genre of fair advertising moved to a stamped leaflet, to a newspaper, to a feuilleton, and became two-dimensional. We have received an advertisement of modernity, such as everyone knows it today. Advertising characters have become easily recognizable comic book characters. But here, too, Russia took a special path ...

After all, any printed matter is, first of all, literature. And there was a special attitude towards literature in Russia, it was almost sacralized! The written word "had no right" to enter into any connection with "low" genres, such as - advertising, of course, in the first place! Written culture in Russia has always been an elite, sacred affair, working only to serve “lofty” goals and objectives. Hence, in the end, the widespread development of the propaganda poster (we would call it today - social advertising), an abundance of political cartoons and ... no funny fictional characters advertising, for example, soap ...

Several centuries have passed isolated development of the genre of advertising texts. At times, the genre almost dried up and died, because free trade itself dried up and died. Therefore, it is not surprising that the only fictional character doll who worked as an “advertiser” in Russia was the chicken Murzilka. Well, and to some extent, of course, the Olympic Bear. However, we still have a long way to go. Already in terms of artistic writing, Russia has always been the best!

Let's look at some examples. True, it was not without borrowings here either.

Carol Ebersold and her daughter Chanda Bell Carole Aebersold and Chanda Bell) are accustomed to dealing with Christmas elves, as well as most American families who grew up on fairy tales and cartoons about Santa Claus, his village and faithful fairy-tale helpers - elves. (American children have known since childhood that Santa Claus communicates with ordinary children with the help of magical elves who watch children for a year until next Christmas to inform the Good Wizard who has been well behaved and deserves a generous gift.)

A puppet elf is a common Christmas present for little Americans. True, before this invention, children were not allowed to touch the magical elves with their hands, so that they would not lose their magical power. Having matured, the inventor Carol decided to correct this annoying flaw and came up with her own elf, which you can touch with your hands. She invented The Elf on the Shelf, an interactive Christmas toy.

The Elf on the Shelf is an interactive toy, a doll dressed in a Christmas red costume that can “fly”. During the day, the magical elf sits on a shelf watching the children's behavior, and at night "flies" to the North Pole to Santa Claus to inform him of their good or bad behavior. And every morning he returns home, landing in various places in the house (thanks to the caring hands of his parents), allowing children to start the day with an exciting search for “their magical elf”.

You can tell this elf about what gift you want for the New Year. Along with the elf, there is also a book that tells young children about the life of elves and Santa Claus at the North Pole in a magical village. Interactive Christmas toys are very popular with American families. They write about it on Facebook and post videos on YouTube.

Since the launch of this interactive toy on the market (in 2005), 1.5 million “elfs on the shelf” have been sold along with the book. Carol Ebersold's CCA & B. is a small company with only 16 employees. But the scale of its activities is impressive. The popular Shelf Elf toy has not only become a national phenomenon, it has become a real bestseller that is sold in 10,000 stores across the country. The book about elves (which Carol released self-published) was immediately named “the best-selling book of the month” and hit the very top positions of the top parades.

Elves on the shelf from Carol Ebersold are loved not only by children who still believe in miracles. They are simply adored by parents, because this magical Christmas toy makes children obedient. In her presence, children always behave well!

Moms - entrepreneurs in America already form a full-fledged class of interpriners who are able to solve any problem with the help of unique business ideas and build a successful business on it.

Two entrepreneurial moms from San Francisco started a subscription service for kids aged 5 to 10 who want to learn more about the rest of the world. The original concept of the Little Passports service for children is based on the unique business idea of ​​involving children in a virtual game of travel.

Children (real ones) receive letters, souvenirs and photographs from imaginary little heroes Sophie and Sam who travel around the world.

Every month, Sophie and Sam go on a journey on their magic scooter to tell other children about the peculiarities of another country, its culture, geography, language. Every month, Sophie and Sam send out a letter to curious children detailing all their adventures on their new journey, as well as unique souvenirs, photographs, stamps, a map marker, crosswords and riddles, and a secret access code to the online Boarding Zone, where they can play various games. adventure games. The very first email that children who subscribe to Little Passports receive is a young traveler's pack, which consists of a letter from Sophie and Sam, a world map, fun stickers, a traveler's passport and an access code to online games on the site. The monthly subscription costs $10.95.

Being mothers of young children, the authors of the project built their business on two popular children's hobbies - online games and letters that children love to receive. And by adding an element of education to it, the authors of the Little Passports project got an original concept of developing and entertaining children's business.

On the eve of the next New Year, the children of the whole planet are busy with one occupation - they write letters to Santa Claus or Santa Claus, ordering another portion of gifts from the Good Wizard, and their parents write response letters from Santa Claus, so as not to disappoint their children in the absence of a miracle and magic, in which they so sacredly believe.

Byron Reese, an entrepreneur from Texas, saw the urgent need of a large army of parents to please their child for the New Year and the opportunity to make good money on it, and in 2002 opened his own website SantaMail.org, where parents from America can buy a letter from Santa Claus for just 10 dollars. Moreover, the postal address on the New Year's painted envelope with the New Year's postage stamp is the "correct" one - the North Pole, Alaska, from where they are sent directly to their addressee before December 16th. After this date, letters are sent from Austin, Texas to reach their destination by the New Year. The letters are written in the cursive handwriting of a real Santa Claus on a branded colorful letterhead and, of course, with a personal appeal to the recipient - the child.

San Francisco-based Notion Farm built its business on a childlike belief in miracles, fairy tales and magic. Entrepreneurs have designed a series of postcards under the quirky name of the Official Tooth Fairy Kit or Official Tooth Fairy Certificate. On the document itself there are fields to fill in - the name of the child, age, the tooth that fell out, additional information.

A fallen tooth is placed in an envelope, then it is all packed in a purse and placed under the pillow. At night, the Tooth Fairy pulls out a certificate with a tooth, and puts a ransom for it in her purse.

Detailed instructions are included with each certificate.

Well, you keep inventing some senseless Babaev. No profit for you, no joy for the child ...

Ecodesign is a trend that is used everywhere today. Residents of big cities experience an irreplaceable longing for wildlife, and business successfully uses this.

Turning weaknesses into strengths is the heavy artillery for those types of businesses that are said to be hard to break through. How to turn the standards and standards of monopolists into ashes?

Anti-diaries, anti-energy, anti-laces… Have you already tried to turn your idea upside down? Well, that's in vain.
