Chapter 137 Lightning Protection (Seeking Determination)
“Luxury endorsement?”
Xiang Yang was stunned for a moment when he saw the text message.
Unlike the later generations where 9 out of 10 celebrities were ambassadors/endorsers when a brick was thrown at them, in China in 2009, luxury goods spokespersons could really be described as rare.
The strategies of major brands for the future Chinese market can be described in four words: conquering cities and territories.
In the domestic entertainment market where traffic is king, in order not to fall behind others, big brands are gradually considering whether some idols are consistent with the temperament of their own brands.
In other words, the titles given are just for them to drive fans to consume.
The fashion industry has always been the most snobbish.
Just like Armani, it spent eight years investigating the International Chapter, and the International Chapter has indeed made great contributions to the brand's opening of the market in China. Whether it is the Oscar or the Golden Globe Awards, as long as there is a red carpet Wherever she goes, she always appears in an Armani evening gown, creating many classic looks.
But what happened...
Anyway, Xiang Yang knew that after International Chapter's career hit a trough in 2009, the brand would immediately put aside its relationship with the actress and appoint Dazuiqi as the new spokesperson for the Greater China region.
Then... After the international chapter "The Grandmaster" returned to glory, he returned to Armani's vision.
So, in the field of fashion, domestic celebrities really don’t have a high say in the matter. There are only a handful of people who have a ten-year relationship like Mr. Xun and Chanel.
85花 Don’t look at the domestic competition, but the real breakthrough in luxury brands will have to wait until Liu Qianqian won Dior’s Nectar series in 2015...
…
Just don't endorse D&G. Xiangyang thought for a while and immediately thought of this brand that disgusted countless Chinese people, and then suddenly thought of a question.
Realizing a serious problem, Xiang Yang frowned.
Beside him, Little John noticed that after Xiang Yang read the Chinese characters in the box below, he asked curiously: "What's wrong, your Liu is looking for you?"
"Ahem... "Xiang Yang reacted, shook his head quickly, and said apologetically: "Director, I'm going to have a smoke outside."
"Well, go ahead."
"Here you go." Knowing that Xiang Yang had no cigarettes, Little John took out his own cigarettes and fire from his pocket and handed them to Xiang Yang.
"Thank you."
As soon as he went out, Xiang Yang held one in his mouth, then walked to a deserted smoking area, lit it, and then began to sort out his thoughts.
Dividing areas is no small matter.
Xiang Yang feels that as a spokesperson, Liu Qianqian should pay attention to the hidden dangers in this area.
But he also felt as if he was out of his mind.
When a brand looks for a spokesperson, in layman’s terms, it means looking for a seller. Without the right to speak, how can people listen to her opinions on this aspect... I can thrive in this circle. , is it because I have already made progress, but my words are useful in this regard?
Some people are willing to sell you face, but naturally there are also people who don’t take your face seriously.
This is very realistic,
Reality is often cruel...
After sorting things out, Xiangyang sent a text message. It was simple, clear and clear, saying that he would not accept any endorsements.
Let’s not talk about foreign countries for now, contact them first, don’t be in a hurry to lose your worth.
As for how to achieve cooperation, look at sincerity.
If that doesn’t work, it’s not too late to wait until “Midnight in Paris” premieres and achieves some results.
Well, let’s do it.
Xiang Yang returned to the restaurant after replying a long text message to Principal An.
Principal An, who has been waiting for a long time, is currently cooking in the kitchen.
After seeing Xiangyang's text message, his previous complaints about Xiangyang's failure to reply to messages in time disappeared. Looking at this large paragraph of clearly organized and clear-cut text, he suddenly felt that his eyelids were a little wet. He should not blame this sensible child.
He must have thought carefully before replying.
Not only does it clearly explain Liu Qianqian’s personal gains and losses, but it also focuses on things that many people in the entertainment industry don’t care about for the sake of money.
What's this?
The little guy is working hard alone in a foreign country, but he still has the feelings for his family and country that he should have.
Rare and rare.
"Why are you holding a broken mobile phone? Why don't you hurry up and serve the food?" Outside the restaurant, Liu Xiaoli watched Principal An prepare the food, then stood in the kitchen and muttered with her mobile phone, and she couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. Said: "Hurry up, Sissi is upstairs and will be down soon."
"Don't order me to do this or that." The disturbed Principal An said and looked at her with a raised eyebrow. Liu Xiaoli.
He pulled down the sleeves of his rolled-up shirt and fastened the buttons. Under his ex-wife's astonished gaze, he untied his apron, threw it casually on the console and walked out.
Liu Xiaoli, who thought the other party was going to fight with her, was a little surprised, "What are you going to do?"
"What am I going to do? I'm going to give a lecture to my daughter," Principal An stopped Without stopping, he walked straight up the stairs to the porch. With his nose turned up, he didn't forget to say: "Don't stay here all day long yelling at me and waiting for me to give you the food after it's ready." Duan, I don’t have any hands.”
“Hey, An XX, say it again”
“I can’t talk to you now, you should serve the dishes.”< br>
After the words fell, Principal An stepped up the steps.
"You..."
Hold on to Liu Qianqian, who was lying in her room, frowning, squinting, and looking out the window.
Because the door was open, she naturally heard the shouting between her parents, which made her sigh.
What if... I have a quarrel with Xiangyang in the future? What will it be like? But before she had time to think about it, the sound of Principal An going up the stairs "dong dong dong" reached her ears. The sound of footsteps like drums made her want to laugh again. Why was it so similar to the time when the crew was in the bar? , everyone played "Wellerman" with the same rhythm.
"Dad, what are you arguing with my mother about?" Liu Qianxi stood up and came to the door and asked with concern.
After saying this, she sniffed the food and found that the food smelled very good.
"Come on, Sissi, Dad will keep you for a few minutes. There is something that Xiangyang reminded me..." Principal An came to his daughter and said.
"Xiangyang? Xiangyang, what did he say?"
"Come, let's go into the house and talk."
......
In the evening, Xiang Yang returned home.
As soon as the car drove into the garden and slowly looked toward the garage along the asphalt road, he saw Liu Qianqian's figure.
There are also two smelly dogs following one on the left and one on the right like a guard with a knife.
"Why didn't you say anything when you came back?" Xiangyang lowered the car window and asked directly.
Liu Qianqian crossed her hands on her chest and said proudly with a slightly raised corner of her mouth: "Why, I can't come back to inspect your work yet."
"Hehe." Xiang Yang smiled, " I'll park the car first."
"Well, hurry up, I brought some food back from home. My dad made it. It's delicious."
"Okay." Xiangyang nodded. It seemed that what he said had a good effect.
After a moment, Xiang Yang, who came back from the garage, came to Liu Qianqian who was standing at the door, hugged her and said with a smile: "Aren't you going back to the crew's hotel tonight?"
"Yes. , otherwise I would have changed my clothes." Liu Qianqian hugged Xiang Yang's arms, raised her head, kissed Xiang Yang's chin, and asked softly, "Do you miss me?"
"Yes."
"Don't send me the text message I miss you, send it to my dad."
"Uh..."
"Okay, let's go eat first."
Although he had already eaten dinner, Xiangyang adhered to the principle of eating more and not wasting it, so he ate as much as possible.
After all, under Liu Qianqian’s tender gaze, it’s hard for you not to put some of the rice and vegetables she brought back into your mouth. What’s more... what’s more, there are two dogs squirming under their feet. The mouth is watering and the mouth is full of greed.
“No one can be cheaper than these two dogs.” While eating, Xiangyang teased the two of them with the chicken legs in his hands.
“Hey, you can’t feed them this,” Liu Qianqian immediately puffed up her face when she saw Xiang Yang pretending to throw the eaten chicken leg bones to the rice balls, “How old are you, and you still play with dogs with this? .”
"Okay, okay, don't be funny." Knowing that the other party treasured these two dogs, Xiang Yang put the bones on the napkin Liu Qianqian handed over.
"Hurry up and eat, you will take me back later." Liu Qianqian casually wrapped the bone in a napkin, put it on the table, and said.
"Well, how have you been filming recently?"
"It went pretty smoothly." Liu Qianqian smiled proudly, "My dad even said today that my French has improved."
< br>“That’s fine.”
Xiang Yang nodded, Principal An's approval meant that he must be telling the truth.
"Xiang Yang, if I stay here for a while to go to school and don't accept movies or endorsements casually, my income will not be as much as before."
"Yeah , I will support you." Xiangyang said calmly.
"Then I listen to you, but it's not that I have no opinion, but I think what you said is right. Can you understand the difference?" After Liu Qianqian finished speaking, she looked squarely at Xiang Yang. , carefully studied each other's eyes.
She has been practicing her acting skills recently and has learned a lot of observation skills.
She couldn't say it was 100% accurate, but as long as there was an obvious change in Xiangyang's eyes, she could still make some guesses.
"Actually, you can consider it in China."
"Yes, I know."
After Liu Qianqian finished speaking, she smiled knowingly and picked up her chopsticks happily. He picked up a chicken leg and put it to Xiangyang's mouth, "Eat quickly. Send me back when you're full."
"Yeah, yeah."
...
On the other side, at Principal An’s house, Liu Xiaoli was also communicating with her ex-husband, whom she disliked.
During dinner, Liu Qianqian directly expressed Xiang Yang’s concerns and opinions. Liu Xiaoli, who realized the seriousness of the matter, understood it and was glad that Xiang Yang paid attention to this matter that she had ignored. arrive.
"Will this matter really be serious in the future?"
"Definitely. Didn't you just see it on the official websites of these brands?" To my ex-wife After pouring a cup of hot water into the tea cup, Principal An added: "Don't blame yourself for this. It didn't happen. Xiangyang was just taking precautions. After all, there are so many people staring at Sissi, and she herself... ”
Some words were swirling in Principal An's mind, but he didn't dare to say them out loud.
The courage that was inspired before dinner has now dissipated as the night falls and can no longer be found.
"Then let me go back to China to actually inspect the domestic..."
Looking at Principal An, seeing the other person stop talking, Liu Xiaoli picked up the teacup and put it to her mouth, "I If you’re not here, you should still take care of your daughter. There are some things that just don’t help if I remind you. Do you understand what I mean?” Hehe said:
"Tell me more about it..."
