Full-time actor

Chapter 238 [65] The latest endorsement quotation!

"You... what are you doing?"

In an abandoned mine near the imperial capital, Wang Baoqiang walked toward Wang Shuangbao with a scared look on his face. He couldn't help but back away. Wang Shuangbao held a coal digging hammer and walked toward Wang Baoqiang ferociously.

"Die!"

Wang Shuangbao suddenly swung the coal digging hammer and hit Wang Baoqiang hard.

Bang!

A coal digging hammer suddenly stood in front of Wang Shuangbao, knocking his hammer away.

"Feng Ming, leave quickly!"

Chen Yu gritted his teeth and roared at Wang Baoqiang, who was cowering. Wang Baoqiang hurriedly fled out of the mine.

shhhhh--

At this moment, many flashlights suddenly flashed under the mine.

The light suddenly shone on the faces of Wang Shuangbao and Chen Yu. Chen Yu looked very calm, but Wang Shuangbao was stung by the rays of light. He couldn't open his eyes and used his hand to block them.

"Wang Shuangbao, just go ahead and capture us, you are already surrounded by us!"

Plainclothes policemen wearing mining uniforms, holding guns, quickly surrounded Wang Shuangbao; while Chen Yu put his hands behind his head and squatted down.

There was a smile of relief on his face.

"Crack!"

"knock off!"

Li Yang took the trumpet and shouted.

What Chen Yu is filming now is, of course, a reshoot of the finale of "The Blind Shaft", which is a modified version that can be released in China; of course, this is not the only thing that has been modified in the entire movie, the revealing scenes and other scenes also have to be deleted.

Moreover, prostitution is not allowed and can only be changed to a mistress. When taking Yuan Fengming to have sex, he also asked the mistress's sisters to help.

Well, it seems very reasonable.

"At least it passed the review, right?"

Li Yang was comforting him mentally, and Chen Yu even laughed a little.

After this change, the movie is actually just okay. It's not that it's unwatchable, but the rating will definitely drop a lot.

But what to say!

The meaning is still there, at least the incident of killing people and cheating money in the mine was well captured in the movie and is completely preserved.

This is the highlight of this show.

"Director Li, do you need to reshoot the story of the mistress?"

Fortunately, the mine was a bit dark. Chen Yu's reshoots were actually much different from his previous performance. He couldn't achieve Song Jinming's look with makeup, so he could only rely on the light and shadow in post-production to make up for it.

"That's easy to fix, just change the dubbing and lines!"

"There is no need for reshoots. I will edit it when the time comes. The original film is all there!"

After Li Yang and Chen Yu went into the mine, they set up the stove and ate barbecue together. When "Blind Shaft" was finished, they didn't have time to get together, so they happened to find an abandoned mine, and Chen Yu asked people to buy a lot of them. The ingredients serve as a celebration party for the entire crew.

"Blind Shaft" made so much money, so it was obvious that he wanted to celebrate. Chen Yu also prepared a big red envelope for everyone.

This is the most real gift.

"Baoqiang, have you signed with a brokerage company?"

Chen Yu asked Wang Baoqiang beside him while chewing mutton skewers. Wang Baoqiang scratched his head: "No, no company would want a group performer like me!"

This guy still speaks Chinese, and Mandarin is not quite standard yet.

"How about signing up with my company?"

Chen Yu knew the potential of the other party. Recently, Wang Baoqiang also became famous in the group acting circle because of his role as Yuan Fengming in "The Blind Shaft".

"Really?"

Wang Baoqiang's surprise was no small matter. Who was Chen Yu? Wang Baoqiang wished he could talk to him in his dreams. Many extras asked him about him when they were fine, but Wang Baoqiang didn't reveal anything to them.

In fact, he has always had Chen Yu's contact information.

After winning the Berlin Best Actor, Wang Baoqiang mustered up the courage to send him a congratulatory message, but Chen Yu unexpectedly replied.

But he was excited for a long time.

"of course it's true!"

Chen Yu has also joined the ranks of barbecuers. Now that he has become more powerful, many people actually still seem a little indifferent.

Wang Shuangbao originally had no problem joking with him, but now he feels a little embarrassed.

However, Chen Yu's attitude was as low as ever.

"I...why do I feel like I'm dreaming!"

"hey-hey!"

Wang Baoqiang was having fun there, extremely excited.

Wang Shuangbao does have a management company. To be honest, he is a little envious of Wang Baoqiang.

Everyone knows that following Chen Yu is definitely a good idea.

Nowadays, Chen Yu's fame seems to be aimed at the top. With a few popular dramas, his status in the industry is basically stable.

"Director Li, do you want to sign it too?"

Chen Yu joked: "I happen to have a script here that is suitable for you!"

"Okay, I'm fine!"

"Director Lu, I think you can do some digging too!"

Lu Xuechang did not sign a contract with Huayi, and Li Yang knew this.

"Then it's settled!"

"I'll let someone draw up the contract. You don't have to worry about film investment. When the time comes to schedule the film, you can get the share and remuneration, it's all up to you!"

There are actually rules in the industry for directors to sign contracts.

Generally speaking, some get a share of the box office, and some get a fixed salary. Of course, big directors get more share.

Chen Yu would definitely not treat Li Yang badly.

After all, they have known each other for such a long time. Li Yang also knows Chen Yu's personality very well and knows that he is not a stingy person.

"cheers!"

"Celebrating the great release of "The Blind Shaft"!"

Chen Yu held up his cup and celebrated with everyone.

Li Yang seemed very happy. What he is most urgent about now is the release of "Blind Shaft" in the mainland. He finally got such an opportunity, and he definitely didn't want to miss it.

He didn't pay much attention to Xiangjiang. After all, the mainland was his future base!

The meal lasted for several hours. Everyone thought that Chen Yu might be difficult to get along with now that he was famous. Unexpectedly, he was still the same as before, he seemed very down-to-earth, and even joked with everyone when nothing happened. The atmosphere of the barbecue changed. Be more enthusiastic.

"Hey--"

Just when Chen Yu was enjoying his meal, Ji Qiannan called him.

"where?"

Ji Qiannan heard the noise.

"We're reshooting "The Blind Shaft", what's going on?"

Chen Yu walked aside.

Ji Qiannan was extremely excited and said: "Lao Mouzi took the initiative to call Mr. Pu and said that he would call you tomorrow night and have a meal together!"

"Oh?"

Chen Yu narrowed his eyes, but he didn't feel much excitement.

You know, the last time Pu Lin asked Lao Mouzi to have dinner with him, nothing happened at all. Chen Yu waited for more than ten days but didn't wait. This time, he actually called him?

During the current epidemic, many restaurants have been closed. If Lao Mouzi still had time to eat, he obviously wanted to see Pu Lin for something.

"Why aren't you excited at all?"

Ji Qiannan couldn't hold it back anymore.

This is Lao Mouzi!

"It's never too late to get excited after winning the role, right?"

Chen Yu smiled, but he also knew that Lao Mouzi's invitation to dinner was most likely a matter of the characters in "House of Flying Daggers"!

He had this hunch.

Giving it directly to the character might feel like a bit of a loss, so I want to find something in return from Pu Lin.

This is understandable.

Resource exchange is very common in the entertainment industry.

Hidden rules and so on are all child's play, and interests are the eternal strength of this circle.

However, Pu Lin did get some blood. While Chen Yu was filming during this period, he received a lot of big endorsements, including Master Kong, Toshiba notebooks, Philips shavers... and earned more than 10 million.

His personal endorsement fee quotation has soared to the 600 million mark, which is completely matched by a first-line artist, and many companies are vying to sign the contract. It is true that Chen Yu has become a little too popular recently.

Some small companies have offered offers as high as 800 to 1000 million, especially for health products and medicines, but Chen Yu didn't accept them.

After all, this thing is prone to thunder.

Even flat surfaces and portraits have reached 300 million and 100 million!

It's the kind that advertises with Chen Yu's face, starting at 100 million yuan a year.

He's really on fire.

Whether the artist is famous or not, the endorsement fee is actually clear.

At first, Chen Yu felt that the price was a bit outrageous. You must know that this was only 03, and it was rare for future generations to have endorsements for tens of millions of years. Then he asked Ji Qiannan about it.

Yes, the cost of celebrity endorsements in 03 was so high.

Mainly, many current products are really easy to sell due to the celebrity effect. Unlike in later generations, celebrities with products were somewhat unable to sell.

The most vivid example is Delhui. This year, Zhou Jilun was signed for 1000 years at a price of 2 million yuan. Next year, sales will directly reach 6 million yuan, and the number of stores will be expanded to 500.

Before signing Zhou Jielun, who knew this brand?

The Guiren next door is even more impressive. In 02, he spent 1000 million to sign Liu Dehua, and his sales have gone crazy.

Although Chen Yu is far less popular than Jay Chou and Andy Lau now, he is very popular at this time, and the screen is full of his TV series, so there is a corresponding premium, which is completely normal; China Audiovisual is not an honest person.

Fame is something that has a time limit. If you don't take advantage of the heat to get endorsements, do you have to wait for the storm to pass?

Unless it is a big international brand, it may be necessary to lower the price accordingly.

So 600 million is a reasonable offer.

This year, Chen Yu earned almost 3000 million for Pu Lin from advertising endorsements alone. How could he do it without some blood?

The key is that these endorsement companies are not stupid either.

Many of them were signed for several years, and everyone could see that Chen Yu had great potential; if he became popular, his worth would have to be raised, so wouldn't they have missed it?

Among young people nowadays, Chen Yu's reputation is still pretty good.

He is like a rising star, not to mention having the Berlin Best Actor next to him, which is even more rare.

"Has the local time been set?"

Chen Yu asked.

"Not yet, Mr. Pu is probably looking for it, I'll tell you in advance!"

"Okay, just give me your cell phone when the time comes!"

After Chen Yu said a few words to Ji Qiannan, he hung up the phone.

The moment he put down his phone, Chen Yucai let out a slight breath.

Although he seemed calm and relaxed on the phone just now, in fact, he was a little turbulent in his heart.

After all, this is the ceiling for domestic directors.

"It really makes a difference if you can get a starring role!"

Chen Yu was thinking there and looking forward to tomorrow's dinner.

If it was really Jin Chengwu's character in "House of Flying Daggers", Chen Yu would probably laugh out loud.

After all, this is the male lead!
