"When I went to Mango Channel to participate in a program, I heard that you were roommates with one of their hosts?"
After thinking about it, Zhang Yuan said cautiously.
"Yes, do you recognize Nana?" Li Xiaoran asked curiously after hearing what he said.
Look, someone is still counting money after being sold.
Let’s just say how simple and slow this guy’s mind is.
Her current roommate is Xie Na.
Because Xie Na’s boyfriend at the time was Liu Ye, and both Liu Ye and Li Xiaoran’s managers were Chang Jihong, so they got to know each other and became friends.
When Zhang Yuan went to Mango Terrace before, Xie Na hinted at him.
If he introduces film and television resources to her, he will introduce a fair-skinned girl friend to him.
I am talking about Li Xiaoran.
In the early days, Xie Na actually had a miserable life and had difficulty eating.
When Li Xiaoran saw this, he let her live in the house he rented, providing food and drink, which was very good.
Later on, Xie Na's situation gradually improved. After all, Liu Ye introduced some resources to her. In addition, the job at Mango Channel also provided a stable income, and she gradually gained savings.
And after Xie Na went out to act in a few movies, she realized that she was not suitable for this industry, and the reason why people asked her to film movies was not only because of Liu Ye’s face, but also because of her as a The identity of the host of Happy Camp has good popularity.
Although Xie Na is crazy, he is not stupid. He has figured out the source of his wealth and ability.
But at this stall, something happened.
Li Xiang, the first sister of Mango TV variety show, got married and therefore quit "Happy Camp".
Because of her exit, the show's ratings plummeted.
Therefore, Mango Channel started its own show operation to make the host audition popular!
At that time, He Jiong was still a newcomer, and it was Li Xiang who single-handedly brought him out.
The first sister ran away, He Jiong, Xie Na, and Weijia competed, and decided to stay or leave based on the audience's votes.
The result was obvious, Teacher He naturally stayed.
Xie Na, whose career had just started to improve, was forced to leave the show that made her famous.
This time she was in a panic!
She has understood that "Happy Camp" is the source of her fame.
Without this show, she would be like water without a source, a castle in the air, and she would be forgotten by the audience before long.
Actually, Mango Channel was just doing hype and didn’t really want to drive her and Weijia away.
Coupled with Teacher He's character, how could he let the little girl around him go out and wander, he would always help.
But some people have such a personality, she is anxious!
Anxiety leads to panic, panic leads to chaos, and chaos leads to chaos.
Originally, this guy's bottom line wasn't too high, and he had a tendency to be clever and take shortcuts.
You know, Brother Hua said she was mentally abnormal, Jackie Chan said she had a brain problem, and the two bosses had surprisingly consistent evaluations of her.
Moreover, these two Xiangjiang brothers are both public figures and rarely accuse others face to face.
You will know this person’s emotional intelligence and ability.
At this time, Li Xiaoran, who lived in the same room, complained to her that she was being pursued by a big boss and was very annoyed.
Xie Na asked about it, good guy, I have to seize this opportunity!
Li Xiaoran is also unlucky enough. The boss and roommate are working together, and for their own benefit, they both push her into the fire pit.
In fact, this is in line with human nature.
Whether you die or not is none of my business.
I am not your parents, and your missing arms and legs have nothing to do with me.
Besides, there are many people who sell their sons and daughters in this world, not to mention their bosses and friends.
“No way.” After hearing Zhang Yuan’s words, Li Xiaoran immediately shook his head and refuted.
"I have a good relationship with her, and she has eaten and drank from me in the past few years, and I have never asked her for money..."
Zhang Yuan spread his hands.
"That's just my guess. After all, you said it yourself. The boss knows everything about your words and deeds, including your food, drink, habits, hobbies, clothing, food, housing and transportation."
< br>
"Unless you have his people around you, it is impossible to do this."
Li Xiaoran is not a fool, her character is the type who is too lazy to work hard or even use her brain.
Now someone reminds me that if I think about it for a moment, I feel something is wrong.
"Qianpi, I think Zhang Yuan's analysis is good." Brother Kun put down his chopsticks and his expression became serious.
“It’s impossible for that person to hide across from your house with a telescope every day. How can he have such accurate and well-informed information.”
"It's impossible. If it were me, I would never do such a thing of betraying a friend." It was still difficult for Li Xiaoran to accept it.
"That's right, not only you, but Brother Kun, Bingbing, and I will not do such a thing." Zhang Yuan pointed at them.
“That’s because we don’t have to betray our friends and we have the ability to get along well.”
“That’s right!” Chen Kun raised the glass of beer, clinked it with him, and then took a sip. And done.
"Now, what should I do?" After a long time, Li Xiaoran put his chin in his hands, with a sad look on his face.
It's uncomfortable to be harassed, and it's even worse to be betrayed.
"The easiest way is to move. If you can't afford to offend him, you can't afford to hide."
Faced with a guy like Sun Donghai who has a ruthless background and a ruthless background, there is no other good way except hiding.
Don’t mention that Li Xiaoran is also a housewife.
First of all, her relationship with her family is average, and even if she has a good relationship, it's useless.
Her father was just a pilot, not a high official.
And Zhang Yuan clearly remembered that in an interview in a previous life, Li Xiaoran said personally that when she wanted to break up, Mr. Sun rushed directly to her house, pointed at her parents and scolded her, and even almost attacked her.
People are not afraid at all.
"Well, this is the only way." Brother Kun thought for a while and felt that he couldn't help.
Fan Bingbing on the side pushed Zhang Yuan, and then gave him an approving look.
With Xiaopang Fan like this, how can there be fewer bosses eyeing her?
It’s just that this person is very smart and tactful, and knows how to evade and wander around. He is not as honest as Li Xiaoran.
It doesn’t matter if you drink a few drinks or touch your arms and waist a few times.
And at the dinner party, it is easier for you to be generous and open-minded. The more you hide behind, the more those big guys want to trouble you and conquer you to prove their ability.
Fan Bingbing thinks Zhang Yuan did a good job. After all, she is in the same industry and knows how difficult it is to be a beautiful woman.
The meal took a long time, and finally ended when Fan Bingbing had to catch a plane.
Li Xiaoran smiled and thanked him, and the two left each other's phone numbers.
"Well, see you later, the crew." Zhang Yuan held the car door and said goodbye to Mr. Fan.
"Meet the crew... By the way." Fan Bingbing suddenly looked at him with fox eyes: "If I get into trouble, will you help me?"
"It depends on the situation. .”
"Why are you so unsure of the answer?" Mr. Fan put his hands on his hips slightly dissatisfied.
"Let's see what the trouble is." Zhang Yuan squinted at her: "It also depends on what kind of reward you are willing to pay."
"Hey..." Fan Bingbing grabbed it. His collar pulled him in front of her, and the distance between them was only ten centimeters.
"What do you want in return?" She said in an angry voice.
“If one day you are willing to work for me to make money, I guarantee that I will help you with anything.”
"You have beautiful thoughts. I thought you were just greedy for my beauty, but I didn't expect you were greedy for my money." Fan Bingbing reached out and pinched his cheek.
"Then what if I want to get both money and money?"
"Oh, come and get it if you can." Fan Bingbing let go of him, then pulled the car door, but then lowered it He looked out the car window and said, "I'm waiting for you!"
Waving goodbye to the departing vehicle, Zhang Yuan put his hands in his pockets and walked leisurely along the riverside of the mountain city back to the hotel where the crew was staying.
Master Fan went to catch up with the announcement, and he was not idle either.
When Zhang Yuan returned, Ning Hao was holding a meeting with everyone.
This is the first time he has organized such a large crew.
The so-called huge crew is actually only a few dozen people.
But it was already scary for him.
Because most of the crew are newcomers with little experience.
Many of them were his previous partners in commercials.
But advertising and movies are completely different things. Movies have too many things to consider and are much more complicated.
"You are back, let's go try on the clothes and set the makeup first."
Ning Hao took him to the clothing room and put him into a night suit.
This is the one used when stealing jade.
"Handsome!"
"Okay, okay, no need to change, that's it, it's already good."
Ning Hao was very satisfied.
“The same set of equipment looks like a thief when worn on Xiao Bo, and like a big thief when worn on Zhang Yuan.”
Huang Bo grinned on the side. .
"Hey, you know, he is suitable for the woman played by Fan Bingbing."
"He is not suitable for Brother Dao, played by Brother Hua."
"Then what is my name? Beauty and the Beast!" Liu Hua replied with a Tangshan accent.
This person is from Northeast China, but the role requires a Hebei accent, so I started to get familiar with it in advance, and I also speak in Hebei dialect in daily life.
It can be seen that he is very professional.
"Haozi, I think our crew is a bunch of unreliable staff with some reliable actors."
"That's right, he is the most unreliable!" Huang Bo One pointed at Ning Hao.
Everyone had fun setting their makeup and went back to Dao Ninghao’s room for the meeting.
Some people sit on the bed, some sit on the floor, and some sit on the window sill. Anyway, there is not even a serious conference room.
"Haozi, it's over, there's something wrong with the car." Producer Bao Shihong walked in with a phone.
The male protagonist in the film is named after him.
“What’s going on?”
“It’s just a car crash scene. Didn’t you say you wanted to borrow a Ferrari?”
“I contacted the dealer, but it turned out that I didn’t have enough money. Replaced it with a Maserati.”
“As a result, the Italian Ferrari headquarters replied to the dealer that their brand’s cars cannot crash in the movie.”
"Fuck!" Ning Hao cursed.
Zhang Yuan didn’t take it seriously.
Ferrari is famous for its arrogance. It often blocks this person and that person, and there are a lot of rules.
This is what state-owned enterprises do. Even the famous dispute between Ferrari and Ford was caused by founder Enzo Ferrari.
Decades ago, Ferrari faced bankruptcy and Ford made a request for acquisition. Henry Ford II went to Italy to meet and negotiate with Ferrari, but was treated with disdain by Enzo.
In fact, Ferrari didn't like this American bumpkin at all. He came to Ford just to increase his own value so that he could sell it to Fiat, which is also an Italian brand, at a high price.
The insulted Henry Ford II was furious. After returning home, he gathered the strength of the entire company and decided to defeat the opponent at Le Mans.
And in order to take revenge, the world's number one car company did not set any budget for the racing project.
As long as it kills Ferrari, any amount of money will do!
Later, this incident was adapted into the movie "Speed King", starring Christian Bale and Matt Damon, which did well at the box office.
It just so happens that the car king Schumacher has dominated the F1 field in the past few years, winning five consecutive world championships from 2000 to 2004. Ferrari is so awesome that he has a bad temper.
And Ferrari actually has a close relationship with China.
Michelle Yeoh’s later husband, Jean Todt, was the manager of the Ferrari team during Schumacher’s era. Without his support, Schumacher would not have won so many championships.
The place where Jean Todd and Michelle Yeoh first met was the Magic City International Circuit.
Of course, after Schumacher was forced to retire, except for occasional flashbacks, Ferrari has since become a famous "red circus" in the racing circle, full of all kinds of ugliness.
"Not at all?" Ning Hao scratched his head hard: "Just a slight bump."
"It won't even scratch the skin. People don't allow their cars to have a negative image. "
"What should we do?" Ning Hao looked helpless.
“Come on.” Zhang Yuan said with a smile: “It would be nice to change the brand.”
"I'll help you find a brand sponsor." Zhang Yuan said confidently.
"Really...which one?"
"BMW, okay?"
"That's great, it's also a high-end brand."
< br>Ning Hao is really not talking nonsense. At that time in 2005, BMW was an absolute high-end car.
Under the expectant eyes of everyone, Zhang Yuan took out his mobile phone and broadcast a number.
"Hey, Director Feng, I haven't seen you for a few days."
Everyone was alerted when they heard this name.
"This is probably Feng Xiaogang."
"Who else could it be? They are all famous. He is the only director named Feng."
"After all, he is a popular actor, so the people he knows are different."
Everyone looked at him with envy.
"Director Feng, I have something to ask you for help."
For the previous "Cell Phone" and "A World Without Thieves", Feng Xiaogang sought sponsorship from BMW.
So Zhang Yuan knew that he was very familiar with the people from BMW China District.
"There is no need for sponsorship money. We are just a small crew. We just need to sponsor a car."
Zhang Yuan expressed his request.
But unexpectedly, Feng Xiaogang suddenly started to hesitate.
"Yuan, it's not that I don't want to help you, it's just that... my relationship with BMW is not very good now."
What's going on.
This has to be said to be Brother Hua.
In "A World Without Thieves", he and Liu Ruoying, a pair of mandarin duck thieves, took away Fu Biao's BMW at the beginning of the film.
After all, it is the main sponsor, and Director Feng gave a lot of shots.
So far, nothing wrong.
But the bad thing is that it has been done.
In order to enhance the exposure of the brand and highlight the characters, Brother Hua discussed with the director and added a scene.
When he drove out of the villa area, the security guard saluted and let him go without checking at all.
As a result, Brother Hua fell back, patted the car and said.
“Driving a good car means you are a good person!”
Just this sentence can kill you.
After watching this film, many viewers connected BMW with bad guys.
I am so angry at BMW.
Directly severed cooperation with Feng Xiaogang.
However, it is not clear whether people are bad or not, but market data from that year shows that among luxury car brands, BMW and Land Rover owners have the lowest average education level...
"Brother Hua Why are you cheating the brand..." Zhang Yuan put down the phone helplessly.
He raised his head, looked at a dozen pairs of twinkling, expectant eyes, and froze in place in embarrassment.
Fuck!
I made a mistake in pretending to be cool.
But he remembered it immediately.
The average education level of car owners is low... The academic depression around me is...
With a thought, he called Zhao Decai again.
"Yes, BMW is my favorite. I have several of them." Fatty Zhao replied cheerfully.
Look, the market research is accurate, and it is indeed the favorite of the coal boss.
As soon as he talked to Fatty Zhao, the rich man waved his hand.
“I’ll ask the driver to drive one directly for you.”
Zhang Yuan asked him to give him the oldest one, so he wouldn't feel bad if it got hit.
Pa, bang, bang... Ning Hao slapped his hands.
“It has to be our investor. The relationship is strong enough. The problem can be solved with just one phone call.”
“It’s done. Remember to fix the car after taking the photo. Don’t cause trouble for me. ."
"Definitely," Ning Hao promised quickly.
"By the way, Haozi, there's one more thing. Our film needs to be broadcast by mouth." The producer added.
"Brother Hua took care of me."
"I don't know, Baleno, they have sponsored us a lot of clothes."
Zhang Yuan:...
Brother Hua, stop it now!
There is a BMW in the front and a Baleno in the back.
Stop being so kind, the brand can’t stand it!
Liu Dehua is now the spokesperson of Baleno and has signed a contract for more than ten years.
The Baleno brand has won various industry awards in mainland China since 1999 and has achieved excellent sales.
But after 2006, it suddenly fell off a cliff.
Because "Crazy Stone" was released in 2006...
The Baleno incident has even become a classic negative case in the advertising industry.
"Haozi, I have a suggestion." Zhang Yuan raised his hand and spoke: "Contact the brand."
"Ask clearly about their needs and requirements, and don't add advertisements casually to avoid self-defeating."
“Okay!” Ning Hao responded immediately.
The others looked at each other.
They discovered that Ning Hao, the crew member, had the final say.
But after Zhang Yuan arrived, it seemed that the highest command power fell into his hands.
Ning Hao also has to listen to him.
“Famous, capable, and rich.”
"Yeah." Several brothers murmured.
The next morning, as soon as Zhang Yuan got up, Ning Hao came to his room.
“I have contacted the brand.”
“They didn’t pay much attention to us at first.”
“Later I told them that you were also on the set.”< br>
"The people from Baleno asked if they could let you do the oral broadcast."
Ning Hao laughed.
It turned out that Baleno was trying to save Brother Hua's face and ignored them.
Basically, I didn’t think about how much advertising effect they could bring, so I gave them some clothes as a “charity”.
But as soon as he heard that Zhang Yuan was there, he immediately became interested.
The contrast between front and back was so great that he almost doubled over.
“Oh, I have to consult first.” Zhang Yuan thought for a while: “I endorse Adidas, I don’t know if similar competition terms are involved.”
“Okay, I’ll do it right now. Go back.”
Zhang Yuan also called Cheng Hao and asked her to consult with the company’s cooperative lawyer.
It’s not a bad thing to ask.
Baleno is a fast-selling brand, while Adidas is a sports brand.
The brand positioning of these two companies is staggered, so according to the Adidas contract, it is not considered a breach of contract.
He was relieved now.
“Saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda!”
“Baleno needs to thank me very much.”
"Otherwise, if we let Huang Bo go..."
Sign, Baleno!
Play it now!
He also muttered that it would be nice for Baleno to miss him.
I didn’t expect people to pay back so quickly.
"It's far away." Ning Hao ran back to his room and said with wide eyes.
"Baleno said that if you are willing to help with advertising, we can talk about endorsements."
Zhang Yuan scratched his chin.
“I’m going to make money before the filming of this movie starts?” (End of Chapter)
