Chapter 628 Falling Leaves
In recent days, Zhang Yuan's face almost stopped laughing.
Smile when taking advertising photos.
You have to laugh when shooting a promotional video.
You still have to laugh when taking posters.
The most annoying thing was that he hadn't thought of it before.
That is why luxury brands are different from ordinary brands.
Whether it is the lowest friend of the brand, to the higher-level image ambassador, to the regional spokesperson, to the highest global spokesperson.
All those who have signed a contract must participate in brand activities.
And at these events, especially customer events.
A star who looks glamorous outside and has people waiting on him is actually just a decoration or a clothes rack.
Montblanc's activities are okay, this brand is more business-like.
He also became a guest and presented new models of wallets and briefcases.
The most important thing is the release of several limited edition pens.
There are enamel glowing ones.
Some are studded with diamonds.
The cap of the pen is made of a ring of rubies, and the tip of the nose is inlaid with platinum and rhodium.
Zhang Yuan thought that this brand of wallet only cost over a thousand dollars and was not as expensive as LV, so that should be the case.
As a result, none of the three pens were worth less than one million...
When he finally used the money to sign a white suitcase, his hands were shaking.
Not scared.
Although it is expensive, it is not something to be afraid of.
Be excited.
He even wanted to put it in his pocket when the organizer wasn't paying attention.
The soul of the Iron Thieves is burning.
Those sitting under the stage and those who came to participate in the event were all young and middle-aged bosses, all dressed as successful people.
All he has to do is take photos with these people and deliver them to the buyers of limited edition pens in person.
Yang Siwei went with her. She had never seen these high-end brand activities and wanted to take a look.
"Boss, would you like to buy a signature pen too?" she said after the event was almost over.
"Go out and sign the contract to save face."
"Don't buy it!" Zhang Yuan said angrily.
Seeing him like this, Fat Girl thought he didn't like this brand.
"Just now I asked their people if they could give me a pen."
"They won't give it."
"If you don't want to give it, don't give it to me. I also added that if I want it, I can give you a small card holder as a gift."
"You are treating me like a beggar!"
Zhang Yuan angrily handed a handbag to the assistant.
"Brother Zhang Yuan, what is this pretending to be?" Zhao Juerxuan asked.
"Card pack!"
Yang Siwei:...
My boss is really down to earth.
When you go out, if you don't pick up the money, you will lose it.
She didn't know that Zhang Yuan was already giving face if he didn't "smoothly" send a few pens home.
Montblanc is pretty good here.
It's even worse when I get to CK.
The quality of this brand is very average. It also sells sunglasses and jewelry, but they are all fashionable fast-moving consumer goods.
The people who came to the event were all young girls.
When I saw him, I almost screamed!
He was blocked in the shopping mall aisle and almost couldn't walk.
Fortunately, Zhao Jueyuan had practiced well, and a few hits of the iron rocker were enough to knock out many obstacles in the way.
Needless to say, his face was almost frozen with a smile while standing on the stage.
The key is the interactive session after the event.
Just sign, it's free.
Merchants even use him for activities.
As long as you purchase a limited edition bracelet on site, you can take a photo with him hugging you.
You are the boss and you have the final say.
But many people are dishonest when taking photos!
Forget it if you hook your hands, touch your waist, or touch your chest muscles.
Someone fucking slapped my ass!
The key is that he is a man.
Zhang Yuan didn't hold back and almost gave the other party a slap in the face.
After returning home, he angrily told the matter to his good sister.
Fang Fang happily slapped him in the face, and even went around to wipe it behind him.
"It's quite curved and easy to touch."
Zhang Yuan:......
"Come on, don't worry about it."
“When I attend events, I always have to guard against the organizers and VIPs being tempted.”
"We actresses are the ones who work hard."
"Those old men are disgusting. They like to rub others with their elbows and backs of hands."
Speaking of this, Cheng Hao showed an expression as if he was eating a fly.
"But work is work, there's nothing you can do about it."
"That's all good for you."
"I heard before that in Xiangjiang, actor-level actors are guests at high-end jewelry events."
“In the end, he was kissed by a local rich woman, who stuck out her tongue and bit her ears.”
“The other party even told me to go to the hotel after the event.”
"In the end, that person really went."
Zhang Yuan frowned: "That's different."
He knew that this kind of jewelry and luxury event would involve celebrities as guests.
In fact, these guests are also sales.
While displaying jewelry and luxury watches, if they are sold on the spot, there will be a high commission.
And whether it’s a rich woman or a rich man eating tofu, you can’t resist.
Otherwise, if these big customers complain to the brand, they may be soft-blocked by the brand.
"They have money to make, so they can just sell their butts."
"I don't have any money to take it."
Even many male and female stars will compete to be the "best sellers" on such occasions to show their popularity and ability, so as to attract brands to renew or sign contracts.
"People in our company will not do this kind of thing in the future..." Zhang Yuan paused after speaking.
"At least we can't do this kind of thing."
“These contents must be written clearly in future business and endorsement contracts.”
"Hey." Cheng Hao said, hugging his neck.
After explaining this to Yang Sisi, the other party nodded in agreement.
He thought that he would only add clauses to refuse such things.
Other artists are eager to find opportunities to sell themselves.
I'm afraid I won't be able to get a good price.
But I thought about it, my boss is really powerful.
I went to a charity party and spent more than 2 million!
His eyes didn't blink, and his hands didn't even shake.
As a result, within a few days, I got a bunch of endorsement contracts back!
The total price of the contracts he and Cheng Hao obtained after the party was almost 30 million.
With a return of more than ten times, this transaction is worth it!
And this is also the case when luxury brands will lower prices.
If both of them appear on magazine covers in the future, Fashion Pinpi's endorsement fees should be able to increase even further.
This manager has also started to promote the company on the Internet very competently.
Because the cover of the first issue of "Harper's Bazaar Men" is of great significance, it needs to be popularized in advance.
Having intercepted many endorsements before, Zhang Yuan and Cheng Hao were criticized by many of their peers behind their backs.
As a result, as soon as it was announced that Zhang Yuan would be on the first issue, countless people became jealous.
Those eyes are redder than the ruby necklace Zhang Yuan gave away!
Because even if I don’t get the gold, nine and silver ten this year, I will still have a chance next year.
But the first issue only comes once!
It's not like Su Mang hasn't contacted other male artists before.
Several people are talking about it.
As a result, everyone discovered that the "goddess" who had been ambiguous for a long time suddenly announced that she was getting married.
Still making the official announcement with a big belly!
Who can bear this!
Everyone was chatting before and it was a good time.
As a result, after your editor-in-chief Su received a bunch of high-priced jewelry, he was determined.
As long as you are not blind, you can tell that Zhang Yuan used this necklace to get back the cover.
If I had known earlier, I would also...
Everyone knows how to act in hindsight, but if you really give them another chance, how many of these people will give up their wealth?
Just because no one would do it, Zhang Yuan could get high returns after doing it.
A necklace has achieved a "marriage" with a fashion group, which is very worthwhile.
Accompanied by the sound of crickets and even curses from countless colleagues, Zhang Yuan, after making some preparations, took his luggage and assistant and arrived at KM City, YN Province. After taking a break, he finally started working again.
This was also his last job years ago.
"Falling leaves return to their roots"!
Just like "Baby Project" or even the Harper's Bazaar Dinner Party, when he came to this set, filming was secondary, and the main purpose was to gain favors.
"Coming!"
Zhao Benshan specially sent someone to pick him up at the airport.
After arriving at the place, when he got off the car, he saw Uncle Benshan with dirty hair and rags.
"You said you were just going to make a cameo, and you had to come in advance."
"I still have to provide you with food and accommodation." Uncle Benshan complained.
But with a big smile on his face.
Zhang Yuan said that he wanted to come in advance to familiarize himself with the environment and the rhythm of the crew.
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
Of course Zhao Benshan would be happy.
Some people are not willing to let you come.
He was willing to come early and stay a little longer so that he could have someone to talk to.
In addition, Zhang Yuan has a good drinker, and Zhao Benshan is worried that no one will accompany him.
Brother Qian was an 18-year-old who made a stream of consciousness show after drinking beer, forcing Teacher Guo to do somersaults on the stage.
When Zhao Benshan was young and performing a duet, he drank four kilograms of liquor before going on stage at most!
Just go on stage like this and still keep your feet from shaking, you will know how terrible this drinker is.
Therefore, it is rare to see someone who is on par with me, and I feel that I have copied him.
"Come, let me introduce to you, this is Director Zhang Yang."
"Hello, Director Zhang." Zhang Yuan nodded and shook hands politely: "We are still the same family."
"Hey." Director Zhang smiled and nodded.
His ears are full of recent news from this family!
At first, Uncle Motoyama said he wanted to make a guest appearance.
Director Zhang was still hesitant.
Do you think you can do it?
Zhang Yuan also suffered from his appearance.
The director took a look and realized that this must be an idol group.
We all have strong talents in this film, is it inappropriate?
But Uncle Benshan’s face is hard to argue with.
So this person went to the movies specifically and watched "A City of Golden Armor."
After reading it, he understood.
This is a powerful person who is delayed by his face.
He didn't fall behind when he acted with those top celebrities. This is definitely a show of skill.
I replied to Zhao Benshan and said that I had seen it and this one was OK.
Later, I heard that the box office of "A City of Golden Armor" was close to 300 million, so Director Zhang went to ask Zhao Benshan again.
"Uncle, can we not afford him?"
Zhao Benshan went to pat his chest.
"It's okay, I'm here to see you."
Zhang Yuan didn't ask for money at all.
And in this film, just like "Assembly", the actors' pay is actually very low.
However, "Assembly" is Feng Xiaogang's face, and this drama is Zhao Benshan's face.
Half of the guest actors in the film were recruited by him.
Director Zhang Yang is not an unknown newcomer either.
Gao Yuanyuan's famous work "Love Malatang" is this work.
The very famous "Bathing"... was the play in which Jiang Wu played the silly son, and he also directed it.
This guy still has a lot of ideas.
In 2005, a piece of news was published in Southern Weekend.
“Workers carry corpses thousands of miles away.”
This is the prototype of the story "Falling Leaves Return to Their Roots".
Director Zhang Yang wrote the script for the play after seeing the story.
In the film, Zhao traveled thousands of kilometers to "almost" transport the bodies of his coworkers back to his hometown.
In reality, the protagonist plans to transport the corpses of his coworkers from Longyan, Fujian, back to Hunan.
But as soon as he arrived in Guangdong Province, he was discovered by the police.
The staff at the Guangdong Railway Station were almost frightened out of their wits.
And there is a very tragic background behind this incident.
That is, these workers were actually deceived by the contractor and were never paid.
Feeling depressed, I bought a few kilograms of cheap powder and gave it to one of them, who caused a cerebral hemorrhage and eventually died.
When these people arrived at the train station, they didn't even have enough money to buy tickets.
Moreover, when the family members of the deceased arrived, they often insulted and criticized the person who carried the body because he was the one who took the person out to work.
The director "beautified" these contents.
But the tone of the film is still relatively realistic.
There are only a few excellent road movies that China is famous for.
The content of the production of "Kekexili" is problematic. After all, it is suspected of or even plagiarism.
"No Man's Land" is dramatic enough and refreshing enough.
But really speaking, the one that has the most road movie feel and the most Chinese characteristics has to be "Falling Leaves Return to Roots".
After Zhang Yang and his friends finished the script and found investors, they contacted Uncle Benshan.
But Zhao Benshan was too busy and declined several times.
But Director Zhang still insists that this role must be his!
Uncle Benshan was very moved when he saw this, so he found time to take photos before the Chinese New Year.
It turns out that he is the only one who can play this role!
No matter how good his acting skills were, it wouldn't be that interesting.
And what is very soulful is that the first thing Zhao Benshan did when he joined the group was to change his name.
The film was originally called "Falling Leaves".
Uncle Benshan said that this name is too fancy, too literary, and not down to earth.
It was at his suggestion that it was changed to "Falling Leaves Return to Their Roots".
What is a master figure!
Just two words were added, and the tone of the entire film suddenly changed.
So what is the content and tone of the entire story?
For every person who kills dogs in a righteous manner and has a negative heart, he or she will be a scholar!
Anyone with a bit of money in the script mostly carries evil and original sin.
Most poor people are simple and kind, understand and help each other.
It doesn’t mean that ordinary people in life are good people.
Compared with the large number of TV dramas in later generations that vilified the poor and beautified the bourgeoisie,
This film is more in line with the simplest Chinese values.
This is also the reason why the film is suitable for Zhao Benshan.
In his sketches, there is always a kind of sympathy and compassion for the poor people.
Even in Xingye's movies, he always has a natural empathy for the poor.
And there is a pattern.
The top comedians are particularly good at portraying small characters.
This is true for Zhou Xingchi, Zhao Benshan, Chen Peisi, and even Chaplin.
Zhang Yuan came early not only to show off his uncle's face, but also to learn more and find opportunities to recruit more experts.
"Have you read the script for the role assigned to you?"
"Of course, I have memorized all the words."
"Then it's over." Zhao Benshan slapped his hands seriously.
"All your efforts are in vain. My sister has the right words, so she will change them now!"
Zhao Benshan is famous for his love of live performance.
In fact, Stephen Chow is also like this.
Most of the classic lines in "Westward Journey" were discussed between him and Liu Zhenwei.
"It's okay, as long as I have the right words."
"Hehehehe..." Teacher Zhao grinned happily: "As expected of Lao Hou's apprentice."
"Can you respect my master in the future? Not to mention Lao Hou, our Hou family looks like they came down from Huaguo Mountain." Zhang Yuan also joked with him.
"Hehehe." Uncle Benshan let out his trademark nasal laugh.
"You are the one who is suitable to go to the Spring Festival Gala with me."
"Let's forget it. It's too difficult to do comedy. I don't have the ability." Zhang Yuan knew he was joking and declined politely.
"Yes." Seeing him say this, Teacher Zhao smiled happily.
"You are talking to an expert."
"Outsiders think comedy is easy."
"As long as you make people laugh, it's actually the most difficult thing in our profession."
"It's hard to make a comedy, but it's even harder to make a comedy that audiences across the country love to watch."
"It's the hardest thing to come up with a comedy that can pass the Spring Festival Gala review." Zhang Yuan added with a sideways glance.
"Hahaha." Zhao Benshan, who was told the truth, laughed and hit his back several times.
The most difficult thing in the world is the review.
When we came to the place where the actors gathered, Uncle Benshan walked side by side with him, talking and laughing.
"Hey, long time no see."
As soon as I arrived, I heard a magnetic female voice.
Zhang Yuan, who was having fun with Zhao Benshan, turned around and saw that he was an acquaintance.
Yuan Quan……
