Chapter 627 Cutting off the Hu
A few days later, Zhang Yuan was discussing future work with Cheng Hao.
"You are spending too much money." The good sister complained.
She was still thinking about the ruby necklace.
In fact, not only was she thinking about it, but all the actresses who attended the party that day were thinking about it.
Even Zhang Ziyi and Zhou Xun want it.
Gao Yuanyuan and Fan Bingbing were almost crying.
Ninety-nine percent of girls like buling buling, shiny things.
This has nothing to do with family birth.
Liu Qianqian was born very well, but she also particularly likes crystals, diamonds and other objects that look very clear and shiny.
It is said that things are like their owners, but in fact, the opposite is true. The things you like can also reflect your own heart.
Regardless of whether you like rubies or not, as long as you know that they are expensive, wearing them will make you stand out.
Anyway, when these people saw Zhang Yuan bringing a necklace to Su Mang, they all had only two reactions.
It was wasted on her. Isn’t this just for wild pigs to eat Buddha and jump over the wall?
I'm definitely more suitable than her!
Just these two ideas.
Extending from these two ideas, many women became interested in Zhang Yuan.
A lot of people have invited him to dinner recently.
Zhang Yuan is not stupid either.
This chain costs more than one million.
Spending so much money, I can exchange batch after batch in heaven and earth.
What am I going to do with you?
And half of the female stars are starving to the bone just to be on camera.
Not to mention sleeping, my hands would feel numb even if I hugged her, as if I was hugging a goat or a scorpion.
Among so many people who contacted him, there was only one he felt was suitable.
"You looked so handsome at the party that night."
"I'll go with you next time."
Li Xiaoran also saw the report.
Zhang Yuan thought, her skin is so white, she must be beautiful and tight with rubies.
Of course, it is best to only wear rubies and nothing else...
Of course I'm not just calling him to compliment him, but I also want to make a date by the way.
It's almost New Year's Eve, and there are still a lot of people asking him out.
Gao Yuanyuan also made an appointment with him at the party that day.
Liu Tao also asked him to come out to dinner.
Zhang Yuan also asked her where to eat and what cuisine she wanted to eat.
As a result, this person said that she and Chen Zihan ate with him.
Zhang Yuan knew that the meal should be a set meal for two people.
But this group of people regarded him as a Tang monk, and some people also drew a "circle to avoid demons."
Cheng Hao smelled something wrong and had been "accompanying" him to eat and rest for the past few days.
He had no reason to go out.
"I told you, spending money is useful." Zhang Yuan complained to her and replied.
"It's useful, it's useful." The good sister still complained.
"I changed the covers of two magazines and it was useful."
“But it’s still a loss!”
"What magazine can be worth so much money?"
"Don't always only look at short-term economic accounts." Zhang Yuan was calm in the face of her complaints.
"Is it a good thing to do charity?"
"Yes."
"Would it help the image?"
"Yes."
"Is image important to an artist?"
"Yes, yes, you are right!" She replied angrily.
"In addition to the image of charity, there will be other additional effects."
"Don't worry."
Old God Zhang Yuan said calmly.
"After all, I not only fed the editor-in-chief of Su University this time, but also fed him well."
"And I promised that she would continue to feed her."
"Tell me, when brands do research, who will she mention?"
The power of the Internet has just begun to gain momentum these days, and big brands cannot yet rely on big data analysis for selecting spokespersons and advertising.
After all, there is no such thing to refer to.
Of course, even if there is big data in the future, it may not be reliable.
Because many artists seem to have many fans and a large audience, but these fans are fans in the sinking market and have extremely poor spending power.
Typical people with many fans but poor spending power are Xie Na, Yang Zi, and Yang Mi, whose reputation later collapsed.
These figures are very exaggerated, but the cost-effectiveness of endorsements is actually not high.
At the moment, brands, especially big brands, are choosing spokespersons.
In addition to news popularity, top magazines can also influence the judgment of these employers.
It was precisely for this reason that all the major artists were polite to Su Mong when they saw her before she left the stage.
She is just like Nongfu Spring.
It does not produce water, it is just a porter for nature.
The editors-in-chief of these top publications are important middlemen.
Zhang Yuan's original plan was to gain some fame abroad before counterattacking the mainland.
With a foreign flair, high-end endorsements will be much easier to get.
Since he had an intersection with Su Mang because of the "Men's Wear" thing, he simply made plans in advance.
Take the first step!
After all, one step is fast and one step is fast. Time waits for no one.
"Boss!"
While they were chatting, they saw chubby Yang Siwei walking over holding a stack of documents.
"Look." Zhang Yuan raised his hand and straightened this person.
"The reward is here..."
On the other side, the second round of auditions for "Assembly" has just concluded.
This time Hua Yi planned to use "Assembly" to make a "turnaround".
After all, neither "Ink Attack" nor "The Night Banquet" made much money.
This film was extremely cost-effective, and Feng Xiaogang only received a share of the production, with no base salary.
Other actors are even worse.
All the main actors, from top to bottom, were given a total salary budget of only 1 million.
Most of the remaining funds will be spent on the construction of important war scenes and environments and scenes at the airport.
The total is only 1 million. How much money can we get if we divide it among these artists?
But even so, the audition team for this film is still luxurious.
Almost everything available on the market is here!
This is the energy of a big-name director. If he dares to lower the price, there will still be people coming.
Everyone comes here to become famous, not to earn a paycheck.
Sissi filmed "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" for several months. She was injured all over her body and had problems in her neck, so she earned less than 300,000 yuan.
But after the film was aired, her reputation soared, and her subsequent endorsement and business prices skyrocketed.
What everyone counts is the subsequent long-term benefits.
Those present now include Hu Jun, Ren Quan, Huang Xiaoming, Liao Fan, Nie Yuan, Chen Kun, Deng Chao, Li Chen... Of course, Bao Qiang and Zhang Yi, the two people Zhang Yuan pushed over, are also there.
Although Hu Jun belongs to Sister Hua, Sister Hua and Hua Yi have conflicts.
But after getting approval from her agent, she still came to audition.
After the audition, the group of old buddies, led by Hu Jun, even had a meal together.
Hu Jun knew that Sister Hua was feeling a little uncomfortable recently.
After all, I have never done it before as a junior, so I have an impression of the reputation.
Hu Jun also didn't want to cut off Hua Yi and his related resources just because of his agent.
He is also smart about walking on multiple legs and trying to make connections within his circle.
"Today we are all here. All the famous young people in the Chinese entertainment industry are in this room." Hu Jun was the host: "Whether we were chosen or not, and whether we filmed this movie together, that's all. Friends.”
"I'll do it first out of respect."
After everyone had a drink, someone said sourly.
"Not everyone is here either."
"The most popular person today didn't show up."
Nie Yuan said this.
As soon as he spoke, everyone knew who he was referring to.
"This film has a low pay, and the expenses are so high, so I guess I won't like it."
Many people who had a good relationship with Zhang Yuan had tense expressions.
But he does not deny this statement.
It’s true that the pay was low, and it’s true that they didn’t come to the audition.
"We probably can't fit in this room for an actor with a box office of 1 billion," Nie Yuan said again.
Baoqiang slapped the table and stood up.
"What did you say!"
"Be upright and upright, and don't speak ill of others behind their backs."
"What do you mean by bad words? The one billion box office is not what he admitted at the party." Nie Yuan was also irritated and stood up unconvinced: "Even the box office of the guest appearance is included."
"Why doesn't he count the box office of all the movies he's seen?"
"My eldest brother is awesome. Who do you think you are? How qualified are you to speak against him?"
"If you have the ability, you should act in Lao Mouzi's movie!" Baoqiang was really unhappy. Besides, if he didn't protect his eldest brother's face outside, he would be embarrassed.
"Hey, Baoqiang, we are all insiders, there is no need."
"Nie Yuan, you should say less."
Hu Jun smoothed things over.
"What do you mean by saying less?" Baoqiang was unconvinced: "You can't say a word!"
"If my eldest brother is sitting here, do you dare to say this?"
Baoqiang shut down Nie Yuanqian with just one sentence.
If Zhang Yuan were sitting next to the table, how could he have the guts to say this?
Seeing that Nie Yuan remained silent, the others all sneered.
This is to flatter others and make others jealous. There are so many things that are not unusual at all.
"Brother Jun, let's go. We won't eat with people like this!" Baoqiang pulled Zhang Yi and walked out.
Hu Jun tried to persuade him a few times but didn't stop him, so he let it go. "You won't offend Hu Jun, right?"
Zhang Yi asked after going out.
"Which is scarier, offending Hu Jun or offending Big Brother?" Baoqiang nodded at him.
If you don't make your attitude clear at this time, if something bad comes up on the table later, they will either take action or not.
It's better to run away in advance and keep out of sight.
Besides, the big brother doesn't even pay attention to such a thing, and doesn't care what he does.
"Ah, that's it..." Zhang Yi was slow to respond in this regard.
After thinking about it, I wondered why Zhang Yuan's men were all a bunch of loach-like human beings.
Do I seem a little out of place in this team...
After they left, the others began to persuade them.
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
"Zhang Yuan is young and it's normal to be pushy." Hu Jun raised his glass and said.
He was there to see it that day!
When those women saw Zhang Yuan casually giving away the million-dollar necklace, their eyes lit up!
I wish I could jump on him right then and there!
"Hmph, Zhang Yuan is a typical poor person who has been poor for too long."
"Nouveau riche mentality, low self-esteem, just like to show off!"
Nie Yuan was still beeping, and a roasted suckling pig happened to be served. This man took three big bites angrily.
"It's not that bad, I think he's pretty good, and he's usually very polite." Huang Xiaoming advised.
Needless to say, Brother Xiao Ming is indeed much more humane than Nie Yuan.
"Yes, I have filmed scenes with him, and he worked very hard." Hu Jun added.
"I've also taken pictures with you. It was good in private. I might have been excited that day." Kun Kun also helped him.
These people all spoke towards him.
The remaining ones who didn't have much interaction with him didn't follow suit and just listened silently.
After eating and drinking, everyone gradually became high.
Nie Yuan was still complaining, but the few people who helped him talked and kept pushing back and forth with him kept basically maintaining a dynamic balance.
Until a phone call comes.
"Hello."
"Hey, I'm eating."
"What!" Brother Kun sat upright immediately.
"Who?"
Soon after, Chen Kun showed an expression like a dead father.
"What's wrong?"
"It's nothing... I'm just... used to it."
"What's going on?" Hu Jun, who was acting like a big brother, still asked.
“We have been talking about endorsements for several months, but they have been cut off.”
"Huh?"
All colleagues like to hear this kind of gossip.
Because understanding things and the struggles behind them will help you judge how to deal with others.
"Who robbed it?"
"The one who didn't come today..." Brother Kun had a look of despair on his face.
The whole audience fell silent in understanding.
Good guy!
He is not there, but He is everywhere.
"What kind of endorsement?"
"Montblanc, spokesperson for mainland China."
The reason why Brother Kun is so uncomfortable is not because of the endorsement fee.
But because of the brand.
Although Montblanc is only a sub-brand of Richemont Group.
And this brand belongs to the mid-range, or even mid- to low-end, among luxury goods.
Although this brand sells bags, leather goods, perfumes, and watches, it is more famous for its pens.
Especially gold pens, or pen caps inlaid with diamonds, are still sought after by many successful people.
But one thing is that most luxury brands are aimed at women.
There are very few brands that cater to men.
There are only a few in total, and some brands may not use Huaxia spokespersons.
In addition, endorsing foreign brands will help your own commercial value and even affect your remuneration.
Because luxury brands will place huge advertisements in the core areas and largest shopping malls of major cities.
This is much classier than having the image printed on potato chip packaging.
Whether it is Huaihai Road, Nanjing Road, the magical capital, or Wangfujing and Sanlitun, the imperial capital.
The advertising poster spots there are all "fighting spots for military strategists".
So for Brother Kun, what was taken away was not just an endorsement.
"Aren't you bullying honest people?" Kun Kun couldn't hold himself any longer.
"Hello?"
While he was complaining, Huang Xiaoming's cell phone also rang.
Soon...
"He just bullies honest people!"
“My CK!”
The endorsement of CK fashion items that Xiao Ming has been talking about has also been cut off.
But it was cut, but not completely.
"CK said they can do a commercial for underwear, do you want it?" the agent said to Brother Xiao Ming.
"Just leave me a pair of underwear?"
The manager said to himself, given the current gap between you two, it’s pretty good if they can leave you a pair of underwear.
Zhang Yuan was concerned about his image, so he didn't accept an advertisement that required a large area of naked body.
"Hey, Ye Zi, what's the matter?"
Soon after Huang Xiaoming also joined the army of drunken complainers, Hu Jun also received a call.
But it wasn't a call from an agent.
Let him breathe a sigh of relief.
The caller is Liu Ye.
“Damn, Ye Ye’s L’Oreal Men was also robbed.”
A few minutes later, Brother Jun patted the back of his head after listening to his friend's complaints.
"I finally understand now." Qiao Feng blinked: "Zhang Yuan is showing off."
"He's playing a trick!"
"What trap? It's obviously a shovel!" Huang Xiaoming complained feebly.
"The graves of our ancestors have all been dug up."
Upon seeing this, Nie Yuan took the lead in "complaining" again. At this moment, no one helped Zhang Yuan to speak, and there were even many who responded.
Not being envied is mediocrity.
If you don't make your peers feel uncomfortable, then you won't be called a popular artist.
The others watched silently, and at the same time they were glad that Zhang Yuan didn't get ahead of them.
But then I thought about it.
We don’t seem to have anything worthy of him grabbing...it’s uncomfortable.
Sneeze, sneeze, sneeze... In the courtyard, Zhang Yuan sneezed several times.
"Did someone scold me?" he said casually.
"Montblanc, CK, L'Oreal... OK."
Zhang Yuan was not too excited.
This woman, Su Mang, has returned a lot of favors to herself.
These endorsements are more or less related to her.
Of course it also had something to do with his momentum at the party.
However, the grades of these brands are very average, and there are no top brands.
"This old witch..." Zhang Yuan secretly said.
I gave it, but I didn’t give it the best.
Because she has to keep the best ones to exchange for higher-level resources.
Not only him, Cheng Hao also benefited a lot.
Coach’s sunglasses and Elizabeth Arden’s perfume are endorsed by these single products.
The only one that is relatively high-end is Bulgari’s Chinese endorsement.
After all, the necklace was donated in her name at the party, and the brand was very satisfied with Zhang Yuan.
But he was a man, so he turned to Cheng Hao.
But it's only for one year. Although high luxury contracts usually only last for one to two years, it's still very short.
"Did you get your money back?" Zhang Yuan said, putting his arm around Cheng Hao's waist.
"I'm back." This one kissed him on the cheek.
"But I only replied a little bit, so it only benefited us two."
"Then you have to take a look at the people in our company." Zhang Yuan said helplessly.
"Baoqiang, Huang Bo, Zhang Yi, Ning Hao...how do you want luxury brands to use these faces?"
"These guys gather together to play mahjong on the night of the winter solstice, and no ghost dares to come near."
"Giggle... Who told you to keep looking for someone like this?"
"Hey, most of the women in our company are quite good-looking." Cheng Hao suddenly thought and then narrowed his eyes.
"Men look for the ugly ones, but women look for the pretty ones."
"Boss Zhang, you are quite principled."
"This, this is not a coincidence." Zhang Yuan scratched his head guiltily.
"Yao Cheng!"
"There's also Yao Cheng, she's not that good looking."
"Ha..." Cheng Hao sneered.
"Hey, I remember someone's outfit in those photos, and I haven't tasted them all?" He quickly changed the subject.
"Did I promise?"
"Okay, let's play with me, right?"
Bang!
As the backyard partition door closes, a fight is about to break out.
Not many days.
Zhang Yuan shot a large number of advertising photos and short films one after another.
While he was busy, he also received a script from the crew of "Falling Leaves Return to Their Roots"...
