I am a director, but I have the skills of an actor

Chapter 178 Commercial Endorsement (previously banned)

"Brother Cheng, are you saying that there are many people criticizing me on the Internet?" Wan Qingshan asked on the phone.

Li Yancheng's voice came from the mobile phone, "Well, Qingzi, I just received a call from someone below, saying that someone on the Internet is hacking you.

I looked online and found a lot of comments criticizing you suddenly popped up in major forums. It looked like someone was organizing them. "

"Brother Cheng, don't hang up the phone. I'm going to see how I'm being criticized on the Internet first." Wan Qingshan said, lifting the quilt and getting out of bed.

After a while, Wan Qingshan frowned while looking at the computer.

Anyone with a discerning eye will know at a glance that these criticisms of him on the Internet are organized by someone.Wan Qingshan immediately thought of Zhao Feite, and then he thought of Wang Zhongjun.

He has no movies released now, and it has not affected the interests of other film and television companies. It is not possible to organize a navy to hack him at this time.

At this time, the only people who organized the navy to hack him were the people he had offended before.

He has been in the film and television industry for three years and has offended many people.But apart from these two people, there are no other people who hate him the most and can organize a navy army.

Wan Qingshan frowned and thought for a moment, then shouted to the cell phone placed on the table, "Brother Cheng!"

"I'm here, Qingzi, what do you want me to do."

"Brother Cheng, you organized people to make the matter of Feng Xiaogang abandoning his first wife and getting together with Xu Fan before they were divorced. Also, the speculation of Zhao Feite... has been taken care of by the senior executives."

After waiting for a few seconds, Li Yancheng's voice came from the phone, "Qingzi, Feng Xiaogang's news is very hyped, and the news media reported everything that happened back then.

But there is no solid evidence about Feite Zhao, so how should we speculate?
Qingzi, do you know something?Why don't you tell me and I'll go check it out first. "

Wan Qingshan reached out and picked up the phone, put it to his ear, and said in a deep voice, "Brother Cheng, can we investigate this kind of thing?

As for how to hype things up, Brother Cheng, those news media can make up news, but you can’t make it up? "

After initially guessing that Zhao Feite had become attached to Xu Zongheng, Wan Qingshan never thought of overthrowing Xu Zongheng by finding out the relationship between Zhao Feite and Xu Zongheng.

Some things cannot be solved by just finding out.

If it were really easy to solve it like this, there wouldn’t be so much news like that in more than ten years,,,,,
As soon as Wan Qingshan's voice fell, Li Yancheng's apology voice came from the phone.
"Qingzi, I was negligent and didn't think too much. I'm sorry. I understand what to do about Zhao Feite."

"Brother Cheng, after these two things are heated up, you should pay more attention to the Internet. If the voices criticizing me disappear, you should stop here."

Previously, the General Administration held a film and television symposium because of the incident caused by Wang Zhongjun, which made Wan Qingshan understand that some things should not be made too big, because if they were made big, no one would get any good results.

So he didn't think about continuing to speculate on these two things. If this kind of thing has been speculated for a long time, if it gets bigger, people from the General Administration will come forward again.

As soon as the rules were set, he broke them. Even if there were people standing behind him, people from the General Administration could not criticize him, but they must be very dissatisfied with him in their hearts.

But because Tang Jianli was criticized for the review of "Heart", the people from the General Administration were very dissatisfied with him. If it happens again, the people from the General Administration will definitely stumble on him secretly.

After hanging up the phone, Wan Qingshan immediately called Chen Yumo to explain the scandal between him and Zeng Li on the Internet.

Wan Qingshan always kept in mind what Zhang Zhao said when he and Zhang Zhao were talking about Qingshan Media Company.

Therefore, whenever there is any scandal, Wan Qingshan wants to explain it to Chen Yumo immediately.

"Hey, Yumo."

"What's wrong? Didn't you just hang up the phone?" Chen Yumo's confused voice came from the phone.

"Did you just fall asleep?"

"Well, if you have anything to do, please tell me quickly. I'm so sleepy."

"Well, it's like this. Because of the Hundred Flowers Film Festival, Zeng Li and I were fabricated by gossip reporters for some scandals. I thought I'd tell you about it so that you don't worry."

In a room in a high-end community in Shenzhen, Chen Yumo, who was lying on the bed and answering the phone with his eyes closed, immediately opened his eyes.

Then, she closed her eyes again and said in a very casual tone, "That's it. I understand. Is there anything else? I'll hang up the phone if it's okay. I'm going to sleep."

"It's okay, hang up."

"Well, you go to bed early, too."

"I know, I'll go to sleep right away."

"Uh-huh!"

After saying that, Chen Yumo hung up the phone, put the phone on the bedside table, and continued to sleep.

Li Yancheng worked very quickly. Not long after Wan Qingshan fell asleep, posts about Zhao Feite being kept and Feng Xiaogang cheating on her appeared on the Internet.

The title of the post uses very eye-catching words, which causes the popularity of the post to skyrocket.

The next day, when there was a lot of discussion on the Internet, Wan Qingshan packed his luggage, said goodbye to Zeng Li and Zhang Jin, took a taxi to the airport, and flew back to the set.

After returning to the crew, Wan Qingshan checked the scenes shot by Lu Bing in the past two days.

Lu Bing still has some talent. Some of the shots in the previous scenes were too fast. After being taught by Wan Qingshan for a while, the scenes shot in the past two days had no problem with the pace.

After the inspection, Wan Qingshan sat on the director's chair and shouted with a loudspeaker, "Every team is ready."

Wan Qingshan originally thought that in the next period of time, he should be able to relax on the set and film well, and just wait until later to attend the premiere of "Ip Man".

But unexpectedly, Feng Linlin came to the set just one day after filming.

Seeing Feng Linlin's sudden arrival, after filming this scene, Wan Qingshan asked everyone to rest for 10 minutes.

As soon as Wan Qingshan put down the speaker, Feng Linlin walked over quickly.

Wan Qingshan has not told anyone about signing the contract with Meiyuan. This is the first time Feng Linlin has appeared in front of Lu Bing and others.

A beautiful little girl came to see the director. When Lu Bing and others saw this, they immediately walked away.

"Director Wan, I'm sorry, I promised to do it within a month, but it took a little over a month before I got the thing done."

Feng Linlin said she was embarrassed, but the expression on her face was a bit proud.

"If you hide the expression on your face better, I might even comfort you." Wan Qingshan smiled.

"hey-hey!"

Feng Linlin smiled, knelt down and got down to business, "Director Wan, I helped you find a global commercial endorsement for a major international brand, Piaget Watch. The endorsement period is two years and the endorsement fee is 300 million!"

A trace of surprise flashed in Wan Qingshan's eyes.

Two years, 300 million!

Although it was much lower than the 2000 million per year that the milk powder company had quoted him before, it was still the highest among domestic celebrities' commercial endorsement fees.

In China, it seems that only Cheng Long's commercial endorsement fee is higher than this. Cheng Long renewed his endorsement this year for Duang Duang's Bawang anti-hair loss shampoo, and his annual endorsement fee is more than 500 million!
Although the endorsement fee is a bit less than that of Cheng Long, Wan Qingshan is a global endorsement for the international luxury brand Piaget Watch. Not only can he get the endorsement fee, but it can also enhance his global reputation.

Endorsing international brands is of great help to a star's acting career. Even if it is not a global endorsement, it will not be advertised in countries around the world and cannot increase global popularity.

But even if it is just a spokesperson in the domestic region, it can also improve the star's level.

After all, a star who endorses a small brand and a star who endorses a large international brand are not equal in the eyes of the outside world.

This is why in the future, international brands will classify their spokespersons into different levels. Some levels of endorsements will have no endorsement fees at all, but many celebrities are still vying to be endorsers.

"Linlin, thank you for your hard work. It's not easy to win the commercial endorsement of Piaget watches."

Feng Linlin pulled a small stool from the side, sat down, and said with a smile, "Director Wan, nothing is difficult. As soon as they heard that I was your agent and wanted to discuss commercial endorsements with them, they directly asked me what I wanted to do. How much is the endorsement fee?”

Feng Linlin was definitely not telling the truth. Wan Qingshan knew very well that with his current reputation, it shouldn't be difficult to get global endorsements from international brands.

But the endorsement fee will definitely be very low. After all, the basic base of his acting career is in China, and the current economic level in China is still far behind.

Two years, 300 million, it must have been negotiated by Feng Linlin after a lot of effort.

It took more than a month to discuss the global endorsement of Piaget watches, and probably most of the time was spent on the price of the endorsement fee.

"Director Wan, are you satisfied with the price and the two-year endorsement period?"

"Satisfied, by the way, when will we sign the contract?"

"The signing time, they said, will be arranged according to Director Wan's time.

But they also said that they planned to hold a party on the 15th of next month.

At the party, they will announce that you have become the global spokesperson of the Piaget brand, so they need you to take advertising photos and promotional videos before the party.

Director Wan, I may be a little pressed for time. It's already the 30th and there's only half a month left. "

Wan Qingshan suddenly frowned, turned around and shouted, "Lu Bing, give me the shooting schedule."

Lu Bing was stunned for a moment, ran over with the shooting schedule, and then left in a hurry.

Opening the shooting schedule, Wan Qingshan carefully looked at the shooting plans for the next few days.

After closing the shooting schedule, Wan Qingshan said, "The signing date will be set in five days. There are a few very important scenes in the future. I have to finish filming before I can leave.

Also, tell them that I only have four days to sign the contract, take advertising photos, and shoot a promotional video, so they can make arrangements in advance. "

Feng Linlin nodded, then hesitated for a moment before speaking,
"Director Wan, when you signed a contract with Meiyuan Company, Mr. Li saw that you were a little busy at the time. So he didn't propose to hold a party for you, nor did he announce that you had signed a contract with Meiyuan Company.

Now that you are about to sign a contract with Piaget Brand, Mr. Li wants to hold a party for you first, and announce that you have signed a contract with Meiyuan Company at the party. "

Wan Qingshan frowned, thought for a while, and then said, "I have no objection to holding a party, but you have to tell Mr. Li that the party must be scheduled on the day I finish shooting the Piaget watch promotional video.

I was only free at that time, and I had to rush back to the set the next day to make the most of the filming. I was pressed for time. "

Feng Linlin was relieved. As Wan Qingshan's agent, she had just taken over, but she also knew that Wan Qingshan was very busy recently, busy filming "Love in the Road", and when "Ip Man" was released in China, she would have to go publicity.

It was so busy that Wanqingshan didn't even have time to promote "Ip Man" before its release in North America.

"Ip Man" will be released in North America in five days. Zhang Jin and Fan Bayi flew to the United States yesterday.

The release time of "Ip Man" in China has already been set. November 20th will be the premiere of "Ip Man".

Abroad, Wan Qingshan couldn't leave and didn't participate in the promotion. At home, even with the promotion of "Ip Man" before its release, Wan Qingshan was still too busy to leave, so that's okay.

But Wan Qingshan had to attend the premiere, otherwise it would not be justified.

Feng Linlin knew that Wan Qingshan was very busy, and she didn't want to delay Wan Qingshan's work schedule because of the company's party, but she had no choice.

Last night, Feng Linlin told Li Erwei that she had obtained the global endorsement of Piaget watches for Wanqingshan.

After hearing this, Li Erwei said that a company party would be held in half a month and asked Feng Linlin to call Wan Qingshan.

Feng Linlin advised Li Erwei at that time that Wanqingshan was very busy now and might not be able to spare time.

But Li Erwei had never told the public that Wan Qingshan signed a contract with Meiyuan just to wait for this moment. How could she be persuaded by Feng Linlin.

Previously, Li Erwei and Wan Qingshan said that there was an international brand of clothing that was looking for celebrity endorsements, and they wanted to use Wan Qingshan's endorsement to spread the news about Wan Qingshan's contract with Meiyuan Company, so as to build a reputation.

Feng Linlin's business endorsement for Wanqingshan is planned to be a high-end model, and Li Erwei has no objection. Endorsing international high-end luxury goods will create a greater sensation. Then Meiyuan will take advantage of the trend and become more famous. It just needs to wait a little longer. That’s all.

Seeing that she couldn't persuade Li Erwei, Feng Linlin had no choice but to mention the party to Wan Qingshan.

After the matter was finished, Feng Linlin hurriedly left the set.

Wan Qingshan is very busy, and she is also very busy. She has to communicate well with the earl. Wan Qingshan only has two days to shoot commercials and promotional videos. She also has to reply to Li Erwei, and she also has to communicate with Anle Pictures for "Ip Man" "About the premiere.After Feng Linlin left, the 10-minute break came and the crew began to continue filming.

Because he had to leave for a while after five days, Wan Qingshan accelerated the filming, hoping to finish filming the subsequent scenes with the human traffickers within five days.

The scene with the human trafficker is a turning point in the plot. Wan Qingshan would not be able to leave the crew without finishing filming this turning point scene.

In the evening, after the crew finished work, Wan Qingshan had just finished taking a shower, and there was a boom, boom, boom from the door.

"Director Wan, are you asleep? I have something to tell you."

Wan Qingshan was relieved to open the door when he heard it was Li Yancheng's voice. If it had been an actress's voice, he would not have opened the door at all.

"Brother Cheng, what's the matter?"

"Qingzi, go in and talk, go in and talk."

When he heard Li Yancheng's name, Wan Qingshan knew that Li Yancheng was looking for him because of the Internet hype.

If it was about the crew, Li Yancheng would only call him Director Wan.

After Wan Qingshan closed the door, Li Yancheng said, "Qingzi, the slander against you on the Internet is gone. I also asked the people below to stop hyping Feng Xiaogang and Zhao Feite."

"Well, thank you, Brother Cheng. Is there anything else?"

"Haha, there's nothing to be thankful for.

Nothing else, I just came here to say something to you.

My mobile phone just happened to be out of battery, otherwise I would have called you directly to tell you that if there is nothing else, I would go back. "

When Li Yancheng walked to the door, Wan Qingshan suddenly asked,

"Hey, Brother Cheng, have you contacted Ling Xiaosu? Can he come over the day after tomorrow?"

When Wan Qingshan's family was discussing marriage with Chen Yanfeng in Shenzhen, Wan Qingshan called Ling Xiaosu and apologized for the male protagonist.

Then, Wan Qingshan invited Ling Xiaosu to come as a guest star, and Ling Xiaosu happened to have time recently, so he agreed.

Li Yancheng turned around and replied, "I contacted him. The day after tomorrow when we transfer to filming on the train, he will come over early in the morning."

,,,,,,
"Director Wan Da, we agreed on the phone. If the guest role this time is still the same as before, then I won't play it."

"Don't worry. I said it's not the same role as before, but it will never be that kind of role. You read the script yourself."

Wan Qingshan said, handing over the one-page script.

Ling Xiaosu took the script and after reading it twice, he raised his head and looked directly at Wanqing Mountain.

"Qingzi, I didn't offend you when I was at school!"

"No, we were good buddies when we were in school."

"Then why do you always ask me to play weird roles?"

"Xiao Su, let me ask you, did those two guest roles make you famous?"

Wan Qingshan's serious expression made Ling Xiaosu stunned for a moment, and he replied with a troubled expression,
"Yes, those two previous roles made me very famous, and there were many film crews looking for me to act. But,"

"Then don't be pretentious. Let's be realistic. What an actor pursues is fame and fortune. As long as you have fame and fortune, you can play any role. Are you right?"

"That's what I said, but Qingzi, this character is too different for me..."

"I'm so sorry for this, go change your clothes quickly."

Wan Qingshan said, reaching out and pushing Ling Xiaosu towards the dressing room.

After waiting for a while, Ling Xiaosu walked out of the dressing room timidly, and then,

'Pfft,'

'hehe,'

,,,,
There was a burst of stifled laughter.

Ling Xiaosu, who was wearing a wig and make-up as a woman, looked dull for a moment as he listened to the laughter around him. Then, he simply gave up and let go, no longer coy.

"Qingzi, I'm going to suffer a lot from you. When the movie comes out, I don't know how people will laugh at me if I look like this."

"Haha, Xiaosu, let me tell you, when all the viewers laugh at you, it means that you have been remembered by all the viewers. Then your popularity will skyrocket. By then, I won't be as famous as you." Wan Qingshan replied with a smile on his face.

Ling Xiaosu rolled his eyes and said, "Qingzi, you'd better keep your fallacies and lies to deceive others.

Anyway, no matter what you say, I won’t make a cameo in your movie until I see the script. "

After saying that, Ling Xiaosu walked to the rest area, sat down, and read the one-page script.

Seeing this, Wan Qingshan turned around and urged the crew to prepare quickly.

The scene to be filmed these days is a turning point in the plot.

On the train, Qiu Guihua, played by Yuan Quan, discovered that something was wrong with Ling Xiaosu, who was holding a child of several years old, and then she told Xia Yu, who played Nie Kang.

Nie Kang immediately stepped forward to test the situation and immediately recognized that Ling Xiaosu was a human trafficker. Then he angrily arrested the person.

However, Nie Kang failed to stop Ling Xiaosu, and instead was knocked to the ground by Qiu Guihua, who looked thin but had great strength.

Then, at the next stop, the two went to the police station together with the police officer who escorted Ling Xiaosu away.

In the police station, when the police asked Nie Kang why he decided that Ling Xiaosu was a human trafficker after testing, Qiu Guihua learned that Nie Kang was abducted by human traffickers when he was a child and sold to his current adoptive parents.

He had been trafficked, so when he grew up, Nie Kang deliberately studied human traffickers.In the past few years, he would go to downtown to search for human traffickers when he had nothing to do, and he even caught a trafficker.

Because he knew it very well, he could tell at a glance that Ling Xiaosu was a human trafficker after some testing.

Because of Nie Kang's experience, Qiu Guihua's attitude towards Nie Kang has changed a lot. Later, Nie Kang's wallet was stolen, and Qiu Guihua lent money to Nie Kang. The plot would not be strange. Later, Qiu Guihua followed him all the time. Nie Kang's plot can also take a natural turn.

This plot scene is not difficult for Xia Yu, Yuan Quan, and Ling Xiaosu to act.

However, the filming was not smooth. The child who played the role of abducted child was often noisy and did not listen to instructions.

Patting and patting, the child clamored and called for mother. Wanqingshan could not help it. Children are like this in nature. It is useless no matter how much you tell them.

Wan Qingshan knew that it was difficult to film scenes with children, so he had already made preparations.

When the children were noisy and their parents took them aside to comfort and lecture them, he would film close-up scenes of Xia Yu and Yuan Quan.

After the child's mood calmed down a little, he took the time to shoot scenes with children.

After switching back and forth like this, plus working overtime at night, on November 11th, before Wan Qingshan left the crew, he finally finished filming the ten-minute scene.

Then, Wan Qingshan handed the crew over to Lu Bing again, and he flew to the Magic City dragging his suitcase.

After landing in Shanghai, Wan Qingshan was picked up by Feng Linlin and checked into the hotel.

Then, Wan Qingshan, Feng Linlin, and the lawyer Feng Linlin had contacted long ago went to meet with the people from the Earl Company.

After the lawyer checked that there were no problems with the contract, Wan Qingshan took the pen and signed it. Then, he asked about taking advertising photos.

As for the promotional video, Wan Qingshan didn't ask.

Because the day after Feng Linlin left the crew, Wan Qingshan received a call from Feng Linlin, saying that the Piaget brand wanted to sign another female star as the ambassador for a series of Piaget watches in China.

At that time, Wan Qingshan will need to star alone in the global promotional video, and at the same time, he will star in the domestic promotional video together with female stars.

They haven't decided on the choice of this female star yet, and the global promotional video won't be released until early next year.Therefore, for the promotional short film, we waited until Earl signed a contract with the female star before shooting it together.

They were the image ambassadors of a series in China, and they even shot a promotional video together. After hearing this, Wan Qingshan felt that Earl's company's plan was really clear.

As the image ambassador of a series, and it is a Piaget watch, I am afraid that the female artist who signed the contract has no endorsement fee at all.

It's normal to use a female celebrity who doesn't need to pay endorsement fees as an image ambassador, but it's not normal to let her film a promotional video for China District together.

He is a global spokesperson, so it stands to reason that the film should be a global promotional video.

Now Piaget Company wanted to make a short promotional video for the Chinese region that was different from the global promotional video, but they wanted him to shoot it, so they used the excuse of finding a female star as the image ambassador for the Chinese region to let him film it together.

Although this excuse was lame, Wanqingshan did not refuse.

Because if he refuses, then the promotional video will have to be shot now. We are pressed for time, so it would be best to postpone the shooting.

Wan Qingshan agreed with the mentality of just shooting one more promotional video to buy time.

Because Feng Linlin told Earl's Company that Wanqingshan was in a hurry, so Earl's Company had already prepared for the shooting of the advertising photos.

After passing Wanqing Mountain, you only need to put on makeup and put on your watch to take pictures immediately.

Taking advertising photos is not much for Wan Qingshan, but it should be relatively simple for all celebrities, as long as they pose according to the photographer's requirements.

Because Wan Qingshan is the global spokesperson of Piaget, he endorses the brand of Piaget, not a certain series of watches under Piaget.

Therefore, he has a lot of advertising photos, taking turns changing clothes and wearing more than a dozen Piaget watches.

After taking a day and a half to take the advertising photos, Wan Qingshan declined the Earl Company's dinner invitation because he was in a hurry.

Then, wearing a Piaget watch on his hand and holding a box containing several watches sent by Piaget Company, he walked out of Piaget Company's office in Shanghai with people from Piaget Company seeing him off.

"Director Wan, we don't know much about celebrities in China, so if you think a female celebrity is suitable for the Earl's image ambassador in China, you can recommend it to us and we will consider it carefully."

Wan Qingshan, who had just walked out of the door, was stunned for a moment, then turned around and replied with a smile, "No problem, I will consider it carefully when I go back."

After getting in the car, Feng Linlin was both surprised and disappointed.

Feng Linlin understood what the people from Piaget Company just said. Piaget Company was compensating Wan Qingshan for filming a promotional video in China, so Wan Qingshan was asked to recommend female stars.

For a brand like Piaget, even if it is the lowest-level spokesperson, it should be chosen carefully.

Now let Wan Qingshan recommend it. As long as the person recommended by Wan Qingshan has the same conditions as the person finally selected by Earl, or just a little bit different, Earl's company will use the person recommended by Wan Qingshan as its image ambassador.

Although this recommendation may not seem to have much effect, it is Piaget, an international luxury product.

If Wan Qingshan has a recommendation quota and is released, then Wan Qingshan will definitely receive hints or even explicit hints from a lot of female stars.

Feng Linlin was surprised that Earl Company actually recommended a quota to Wan Qingshan, but it was a pity that none of the female stars under Meiyuan were famous enough.

The Piaget Company would definitely not use such a female star as a spokesperson. Even if she wanted to recommend the female star of Meiyuan to Wanqingshan, it would not be suitable.

After returning to the hotel, Wan Qingshan packed his luggage and flew to the capital with Feng Linlin.

After landing in the capital, Wan Qingshan and Feng Linlin walked to the airport pick-up port and were immediately greeted by Duan Tong, who came to pick them up.

After getting in the car, Wan Qingshan asked Duan Tong to drive to Feng Linlin's house first.

After seeing off Feng Linlin, Wan Qingshan asked Duan Tong to drive him to a hotel near the courtyard.

At around seven o'clock in the evening, Wan Qingshan went home and changed into a suit, then went to a nearby cosmetics store to tidy up his hair.

Then, he got in the car and asked Duan Tong to take him there. Feng Linlin sent him a text message before telling him the hotel where the party was held.
