Chapter 199 Pepsi and Keke’s endorsement
When it comes to popularity, advertisers are the most sensitive.
The most recent time, when "Empire of the Tang Dynasty" had just finished airing, Sister Mei came to report that a huge number of new advertisements and spokesperson invitations had been added.
That’s right, “huge amount”, these were her exact words.
The phone calls from the studio almost never stop.
This new batch of cooperation invitations does not place more emphasis on the quality of spokespersons than before. This time, the brand is targeting popularity.
The most obvious ones are Keke and Pepsi.
The two companies sent contracts at the same time. Coca-Cola offered an endorsement fee of 4.5 million yuan a year for 7 years.
Pepsi offered the same price and signed for 5 years.
It seems that this is the price that the market is currently offering him. I heard that Zhou Jielun originally signed a contract worth 20 million for five years.
The price given to Chen Linfeng should include a bonus for writing a book and a premium for an Oscar. After all, he is somewhat famous internationally.
Chen Linfeng decisively chose the latter. A shorter term is better, and it is not suitable to sign a long contract during the development period.
He indeed prefers to drink Pepsi.
Pepsi also has a saying, "If you want to know whether an artist is popular or not, you will know if he is a spokesperson for Pepsi."
I have to say that it does make sense. Pepsi's development in the mainland is indeed significantly greater than that of Coca-Cola.
At present, Pepsi's spokespersons include Zhou Jielun, Nicholas Tse, Louis Koo, Chen Guanxi, Cai Yilin, etc., and they are all the most popular ones.
As for Coca-Cola, Zhang Shaohan, SHE, Li Yuchun, and Yu Wenle are indeed slightly less popular overall.
The specific signing ceremony and advertising shooting will be in June, and Chen Linfeng does not need to think about it yet.
Now it is late April, and it has been a while since he finished writing his new script.
According to the scheduled plan, Chen Shantong sent people to start looking for suitable filming locations based on the script, and carried out preliminary preparations for the crew.
Liu Qianqian went back to school to prepare for her thesis defense.
Chen Linfeng also had to make an appearance at the school. When he won the Oscar in March, the school was originally going to hold a celebration, but it happened to be the time when he was filming on the set, so it was postponed.
The college was very reasonable this time and focused on the students’ career, without any urgency.
Wang Rui said bluntly on the phone, "Now you are Yan Ying, and Yan Ying is you. As long as the sky is not broken, you will enjoy privileges until graduation."
When Chen Linfeng returned to school, he walked into the classroom with the attention of his classmates.
The class fell silent instantly, and everyone looked in the same direction.
The teacher who was lecturing stopped and joked, "Isn't this the Oscar winner back? Why don't you come up and say a few words?"
Chen Linfeng clasped his hands together as if begging for mercy. "Teacher, you are ashamed of me, I am still a student."
Other students were still looking at him in surprise and kept looking at him.
These people are all majoring in directing, and what they yearn for are the three majors and Oscars. But there is a classmate who has won both, and there is always an indescribable complexity in their hearts.
After only one class in the class, he felt uncomfortable and was not ready to attend the following classes. Anyway, he had already completed the self-study of these contents in advance.
Shu Chang heard that Chen Linfeng was back and came to look for him. He happened to meet him and was about to walk out. The two walked side by side and chatted.
"Isn't "Struggle" about to start filming? Why didn't you join the cast?"
"I don't have any scenes these days, so I'm taking a short break. I heard Sissy say on the phone today. , you and she have to go back to school, so come and take a look."
Chen Linfeng sighed, "We are either filming or catching up on announcements, so we have less and less time to get together."
"Yeah, but it's a good thing to be busy. This means that we are all doing well."
Shu Chang has long been accustomed to this kind of busy life. It is better to say that this will make her feel at ease.
"Xiaofeng~sing~"
Chen Linfeng turned around and saw that it was Liu Qianqian with a single ponytail and a white T-shirt.
“Sissi, it feels like I haven’t seen you for a long time.”
Liu Qianqian and Shu Chang held hands and jumped up and down, very happy.
Chen Linfeng stood aside, smiling and looking at the beautiful girl Tie Tie.
At this time, Yang Mi, who came with Liu Qianqian, waved and said hello, "Hello, senior, I haven't seen you in school for a long time. Recently, my classmates have lost their energy for morning exercises."
She As the arms waved, the two indescribable things trembled slightly, exerting a huge attraction.
Chen Linfeng's eyelids twitched and he turned his head slightly, "Yeah, this is not good. Morning exercise is always for yourself and should not be affected by other factors."
After adulthood, my body is different after all, and I get excited easily.
Chen Linfeng cheated and adjusted his memory in one go, and his eyes quickly regained clarity.
The disappointment in Yang Mi's eyes flashed, and she said with a smile, "With you here, everyone always has more motivation."
Chen Linfeng sat still like an old monk, calm and steady. He said in shock, "I'm going to be a senior in college soon. I won't be able to stay in school much longer. From now on, you don't have to worry about others. Just make your own plans and do your morning exercises on time."
If you're not here, my morning exercises will be a waste.
Yang Mi secretly complained that in fact, she had never gotten up early during this period.
Although Liu Qianqian has been chatting with Shu Chang, she has been listening with one ear.
She looked at Chen Linfeng, as if she suddenly remembered something, and said.
"I just met Teacher Wang from your department. He asked me to inform you to go to his office."
"Call me at this time?" Chen Linfeng asked doubtfully,
"Okay, I understand."
Then Liu Qianqian said to Yang Mi, "Mimi, don't you still have classes? Go quickly, you will be late soon."
Yang Mi, "..."
Go to the department office.
Wang Rui did not mention the Oscars as Chen Linfeng expected, but instead talked about the new movie he was preparing for next.
"I heard that you contacted many outstanding graduates from the past to join the group?"
Chen Linfeng nodded. This matter did not go through Wang Rui at first, but went directly to the school alumni association.
"If your crew has a few more current students, it will almost meet the standards of students' graduation works. Do you want me to find some teachers to help you?"
Also Is this a good thing?
Chen Linfeng was overjoyed. Although the senior students he contacted were among the best, they were definitely not as good as teachers with a background in majors and extensive experience.
"I want a great handheld teacher and art director."
He added, "I originally planned to find some students from our school to join the group. I always have to support the school's work."
"It would be strange to believe you. At most, you should only recruit those who have a good relationship with you."
Wang Rui rolled his eyes at him and began to think about the manpower Chen Linfeng wanted. This guy is a picky guy and wants key positions.
But it’s not surprising. These two positions will obviously affect the quality of the work. The level of ordinary TV drama crews is definitely not as good as these movie productions.
"Does a director of photography need it?"
"If there is, of course it would be best."
The director of photography is mainly responsible for establishing shots with the director, as well as scheduling camera positions. , guide the shooting process, etc.
These handheld teachers who are great at work sometimes work part-time, but it’s always good to have more than one person.
However, the senior who plans to hire a photographer will continue to work as a photography assistant for one more time.
Wang Rui directly regarded himself as the instructor and checked the current preparation projects with Chen Linfeng.
Of course the director and screenwriter are Chen Linfeng alone.
For the positions of photographer, stylist, executive director, and editor, Chen Linfeng is looking for graduates, which are relatively technical jobs. Of course, the original photographer will now work as a photography assistant. .
Other positions, such as lighting team, prop master, sound team, assistant director, production director, etc., are all recruited by Chen Shantong.
Wang Rui nodded, "I'm well prepared, and basically there's nothing wrong with it."
After all, it's a TV series, and the shooting time is long. If there are any problems, you can adjust them during the filming process.
He relaxed a little, "Okay, there's nothing else to do. You can go back. Remember to come back to school in two days to participate in the celebration."
Chen Linfeng said doubtfully, "Teacher Wang Why don’t you come and be a producer for me? ”
For ordinary students’ graduation works, the producer and producer will have the name of the school leader, and the producer will have the name of the department teacher. In fact, it is equivalent to the guidance of graduation thesis in ordinary schools. Teacher, this is all routine operation.
Wang Rui said, "We have nothing to guide you in your work. The school has decided not to get involved. If it is really a good shot, it will not deprive the school of its glory."
What else would the other party say when he saw it? He waved his hand directly and said, "Okay, the school has already made a decision, so let's leave it at that."
"Okay, thank you, teacher."
Chen Linfeng was really impressed by the school at this time. Yes, this is a long-term approach. It seems that they are really optimistic about him.
Although he knew it was to win people's hearts, he couldn't help but be moved.
But before leaving, Chen Linfeng couldn't help but said, "Teacher, after I finish filming this drama, I will probably make a movie, so why not treat it as a final project when it comes to the movie."
" Is there any difference? "
Of course there is a difference. Yanying has a good relationship with Huaying Film Studio. As the film is a student project, it can apply for more support. It is a bit of a waste to put it into a TV series.
And, forget it, let’s talk about it later.
He didn't answer and waved away.
Returning to the place just now, I found that Shi Xiaolong was also there. The three of them didn't know what to talk about, and they were laughing happily.
"What are you talking about, are you so happy?"
Liu Qianqian covered her mouth and smiled without saying a word.
Shu Changle said, "I am talking about your great achievements as a child."
Chen Linfeng glared at Shi Xiaolong, "Just wait for me, I will suppress you later."
Shi Xiaolong sneered, "You lose more now."
"It's just one time, okay?"
"It's a loss even once!"
......
Two days later, Chen Linfeng participated in a celebration called "Celebrating Our School Students Winning Oscars" at school.
According to his request, it was not too big, and only meetings and speeches were held within the school, and reporters were not allowed to enter the school.
Actually, this is good. If he really wants to invite a group of seniors back and bring in reporters like he did last time, the noise would be too great, which is not in line with his low-key strategy at this stage.
Shu Chang had already returned to the crew. Shi Xiaolong found an excuse and left early, leaving only him and Liu Qianqian.
The two went to a coffee shop outside the school, ordered two cups of coffee, and then sat and chatted.
This time was in the morning, and there were very few people in the store. The customers sitting not far away were whispering quietly and looking at the two of them.
The waiter was a girl. When she brought the coffee, she glanced at Chen Linfeng without any trace.
It’s so handsome. It feels better than the TV series.
She glanced a few more times, and then asked with a little uneasiness, "Brother Feng, ah no, Mr. Chen Linfeng, can you please sign it? I am your fan, Chen Linfeng Bar Level 11 "
Chen Linfeng is used to encountering this kind of thing, but it is rare for him to come forward to report his level.
He skillfully signed the book handed to him by the other party.
When signing the autograph, he asked casually, "Which of my works do you know about me for?"
The waitress said excitedly, "I have watched both "The Lotus Lantern" and "The Unruly Princess." You are so handsome in there."
She quickly added, "Of course, you are also very handsome in real life."
It seems that the TV series is really gaining popularity, and the book fans are too. I'm a Buddhist, so I don't feel excited at all when I see him. Instead, I often urge him to update when I see him.
Chen Linfeng saw that Liu Qianqian seemed a little depressed.
So he pointed to the opposite side and said, "Do you know her? Do you want her to sign one for you?"
The waiter girl looked at her warily, of course she knew.
I always hang out with Brother Feng, who is called my classmate and good friend, but in fact I don’t know if she is the “fairy sister” who harbors evil intentions.
There are a lot of people discussing this in the bar. Most of the female bar friends don’t like this person because they have argued with the male bar friends many times about this topic.
Now these two people are drinking coffee together outside. I wonder if there is anything going on here.
Well, probably not. It's very close to Yan Ying's school, so I guess my classmates hang out together.
She reluctantly said, "Please ask Ms. Liu to sign one for you, thank you."
After the waiter left, Liu Qianqian said unhappily, "This person seems to like you."
< br>Chen Linfeng said speechlessly, "People said they are my fans from the beginning. Isn't it normal to like me?"
Liu Qianqian pointed out, "Like and liking are different."
I always feel that defense is becoming more and more difficult now.
It’s all Xiaofeng’s fault, it attracts bees and butterflies.
