I became famous in the entertainment industry by burning incense

Chapter 366: All parties are vying for Jinli's October promotion! (asking for monthly tickets)
Jinli finished her live broadcast in the afternoon and received a message from Gu Cheng.

She originally thought that he was coming to show off how many pages he had made to arouse her competitive spirit, but unexpectedly, he sent her news about the release date of "Assassination".

Jinli: [? ]

Jinli: [Is the editing finally done? It’s not easy! ]

"Assassination" is a medium-budget web drama, which does not have such high requirements in terms of editing.

But an ordinary web drama only needs one or two months to be edited.

Even with the workload of two films, it is normal to complete it within three or four months.

But now more than half a year has passed, and Jinli doesn't know whether it is because Director Yan Jianqiao is too demanding and works too hard on the pictures, causing the progress to fall so far behind.

But "Assassination" is not a special effects film. No matter how much he polishes it, he is only polishing it based on the materials they have shot. It is impossible to torture the special effects artist like crazy.

Director Yan is truly a talent as he was able to edit a film for such a long time.

It doesn't matter how long it takes, as long as the final result of the drama is excellent.

Now, is it finally time to harvest the fruits?
If the result is excellent this time, Tianding Entertainment and Chenxi Entertainment can still tolerate it, but if the result is average, the two major companies will probably make sure Yan Jianqiao disappear from the circle.

This is also the shortcoming of new directors who do not sign with a company. They have a lot of passion and ambition, but they don’t even understand many of the rules in the industry.

Among the directors that Jinli has worked with, there are both mature directors and new directors. Judging from their performance, Yan Jianqiao is the worst one in terms of shooting integration.

Gu Cheng: [If he doesn’t edit it well, Tianding might not have used up their favors to get “Assassination” scheduled as soon as possible. The company was not optimistic about this drama in the first place, and the director they met didn’t know anything and was so slow in editing. The company was very dissatisfied with him.]

It couldn't be explained in a few words, so Gu Cheng simply made a voice call.

Jinli picked up.

Jinli asked first: "So it was your company that urged him to edit it quickly and schedule it?"

Gu Cheng: "About the same."

He lowered his voice slightly, and the clear male voice was a little low and hoarse, a bit like a subwoofer surrounding your ears.

Jinli's ears couldn't help but tremble slightly.

Tsk.

So sweet.

Gu Cheng: "The original plan of the company was to release this drama in the summer. We have discussed the promotion with the publicity team and the video company, and are just waiting for Director Yan to finish editing it.

Director Yan had agreed to it, but for some reason he was very slow at editing, and no matter how much Tian Ding urged him, it was useless. As a result, all publicity plans fell through. ”

Jinli heard this and said something pertinent: "Although it was missed, it was only for the drama "Assassination". This drama missed a good release time and publicity, but it should have no impact on Tianding Entertainment.

A company as big as Tianding usually occupies a strong position. The previously agreed publicity resources are still there. Tianding Entertainment can transfer them and do a favor to other film and television companies.”

Gu Cheng smiled gently, and her ears seemed to be surrounded by dense bubbles, making them hoarse.

"You guessed it right. Tianding didn't suffer any loss in this matter. It's just that they are very dissatisfied with Director Yan.

After all, I am a member of Marchday, the most popular boy band member under their command, and they would prefer to invest resources in me. "

No matter how unpopular this drama was before filming began, and no matter how many problems it encountered after filming began, it was finally completed.

This is the first film and television drama filmed by this popular boy band member, which can be used as a big gimmick.

His partner is one of the hottest female stars nowadays. With a handsome man and a beautiful woman, they can easily create several selling points. Naturally, Tianding Entertainment wants to make a big move.

It seems that not only Tianding Entertainment has the idea of ​​hyping up the trend, but Chenxi Entertainment is also preparing. It’s just that the cooperation between the two major companies is not clearly known to their artists.

Jinli asked: "So when exactly do you want this drama to be aired?"

Gu Cheng said affirmatively: "It will be in October next month, and the specific broadcast time should be to take advantage of Fang Fei's publicity.

You shoot the cover of the magazine for Fang Fei, and Fang Fei is competing with Hua Yun. When the magazine goes on sale, it will be very popular on the Internet, and netizens will also engage in verbal battles with each other. When Assassination is launched at that time, it will form a linkage. "

It’s not that they can’t afford the publicity resources, but it’s more cost-effective to piggyback on the popularity of luxury brands.

Gu Cheng asked back: "Aren't you busy recently?"

Jinli was stunned for a moment, a look of bewilderment flashed across her eyes: "I'm not very busy, I'm just shooting Fangfei's magazine cover, which has been finished.

Then I auditioned for Director Chu. As for the film I've already taken on, "Mediocrity," the director is still looking for the right investors and filming locations. It doesn't look like it will start filming soon. It'll take at least a month or two. Why are you asking?"

Gu Cheng said doubtfully: "Everyone in the industry knows that your traffic popularity in October will explode. Whether Huayun wants to snipe you or Fangfei wants to make you famous, they will definitely invest a lot of resources in publicity for you, and hot searches are definitely inevitable.

You are the endorsement of several brands. October is the autumn and winter season, and they should have new autumn and winter products to launch.

It just so happens that your traffic in October is predictably explosive, so they should probably ask you to shoot promotional photos and ads. This is obviously an opportunity for them to take advantage of the popularity and save a lot of promotional resources. "

Jinli:?
"I suddenly have a bad feeling."

Sure enough, Gu Cheng’s guess was correct.

A few minutes into the voice call, a call from her agent popped up on Jinli's phone.

Jinli was sweating a little.

Although she didn't know why the agent wanted to talk to her about this, she felt that Gu Cheng had the potential to be a prophet.

Jinli said: "Oh, my agent came to see me. I answered her call. I hope she didn't talk to me about endorsements. I really want to spare some time to study."

As an artist becomes more and more famous, she actually has less and less time to study, and her life will be squeezed by busy announcements.

Therefore, many celebrities in the industry believe that a star’s golden period of growth is not when he is popular, but when he is not popular.

If you accumulate more experience when you are not popular, you will not be just a useless vase when you are popular. You will have the ability to maintain your popularity and establish your position in one fell swoop. Jinli has not experienced this from business, but has experienced it from learning.

She found that when she first decided to study through live streaming, that period of time was when she had the most time to study.

Unlike now, even though she is under heavy study pressure, her schedule is inevitably busy.

Jinli felt that she had given up a lot of announcements for the sake of studying, but when she was really busy, even the fewest announcements squeezed together made her seem a little stretched.

I'm too busy!
-
"Jinli, did you hear what I just said? Why didn't you answer me? Are you busy with something else?" Sui Lingfang asked.

She felt something was wrong. She called when she saw Jinli was off the air. Otherwise, she would have called when Jinli just returned to the apartment.

Sui Lingfang is also trying to create more study time for Jinli.

Jinli came back to her senses: "Yeah, I heard it all. You said that Duomi, Tiangong and Rumengling all wanted me to shoot new products and advertisements for the autumn and winter season, right?"

Sui Lingfang: "Yes, they called the company today and planned to release the advertisement in mid-October. Now it is the end of September, and you still have one week to shoot."

The advertisement will be released in mid-October, so we have to give the brand a week to process it. The earlier the materials are provided, the more plans they can prepare.

The pressure from the brands was put on Jinli, and she had to shoot the soft and hard ads for three brands in one week.

Jinli asked puzzledly: "Why did they set the time so tight? If they wanted me to shoot new products for autumn and winter, they should have told me in August or September and contacted me in advance."

Sui Lingfang smiled and said, "Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"

Jinli was happy: "Tell me everything."

Sui Lingfang: "The lie is that they were impressed by your popularity and talent, and chose many new product spokespersons, but they all found that it was not as realistic as having you as the chief spokesperson, so they made this decision on the spur of the moment."

She paused, then continued, "The truth is that after you took Fang Fei's photos, they saw Fang Fei's attitude and knew that your traffic would explode in October, so they wanted to sign you quickly."

Sui Lingfang explained: "They may have asked the new product spokesperson to take photos of the new product that will be launched in October, but at the last minute they thought it would be more attractive to use you as the main promotion, and it would save a lot of promotional funds.

The reason why they didn't sign you in advance is simply that your endorsement fee has increased.

We sign an image endorsement fee with the brand. They can use the photos you took for them for promotion, but it is limited to the photos taken.

If the brand wants new promotional videos and asks you to promote new products every year, that will be a different price.

Your endorsement fee has been increasing every month in the past two years, especially this time with the promotion of Fangfei, we increased the endorsement fee quite a lot, and it increased on the day Fangfei decided to shoot your magazine, so they have been hesitating. "

The decision has been made in such a hurry now because Fangfei's attitude has been very clear. They want to compete with Huayun in this competition and will promote Jinli in October.

The influence of a top luxury brand cannot be underestimated internationally, not to mention that Fangfei’s headquarters is in China. It is a super brand that started in China, and its publicity will be even more powerful.

Jinli thought of some of the industry news that Sister Fang had told her before, and said, "After all, I am the spokesperson for these three brands. Since they all want me to endorse their new autumn and winter products, I can do it."

Anyway, she has paid the money, and Chenxi Entertainment will not let her suffer any loss.

"But," she changed the subject, "I hope to follow the standard process of shooting commercials for first-line stars, and not be so conscientious and ask them to shoot for as many days as they want and to work a certain number of hours before leaving."

Sui Lingfang raised her eyebrows.

In the past, Jinli had an advantage over other first-line celebrities, that is, she was dedicated enough, had a good attitude, and had enough time to let the brand do its thing.

At that time, Jinli didn't care about the brand squeezing her time. She wanted perfection, so she didn't say anything.

Otherwise, according to industry practice, brands would not be given so much time to waste.

Isn't it just taking a few photos?

Nowadays, science and technology are so advanced that by using some new technologies, we can take hundreds of photos in a few minutes, and can also do micron-level portrait retouching. The efficiency of producing photos is actually very fast, and it doesn’t take so much time at all.

The hard advertising campaigns will not exceed 5 actions, and in the actual shooting process, even if Jinli poses for 20 actions, it only takes an hour, so it really doesn't take too long.

Otherwise, there wouldn’t be rumors in the industry that big-name stars changed three looks and took three sets of makeup photos within ten minutes.

Jinli is considered very conscientious in the industry. If other first-line stars encounter overtime and loss of work time when the brand exceeds the original shooting time.

None of them asked for it on behalf of Jinli in the name of the company.

Sui Lingfang smiled and said, "Jinli, congratulations on your thinking being more industry-oriented. In fact, I have wanted to do this for a long time.

This not only saves your time, but also reduces your burden, allowing the brand to be more attentive in overall planning.

You have participated in many announcements and have personally experienced that after arriving at the scene, the star may only appear for a dozen minutes, but the announcement party will spend several hours to prepare.

This kind of arrangement time can save you time to do other things instead of waiting stupidly. "

Jinli had to admit that after being a star for nearly two years, she had become more and more mature.

You will become more mature in dealing with work issues and will no longer think about confronting the common phenomena in the industry, just like an angular stone that is polished to become more round and smooth.

Isn’t this a kind of growth?
But on the road to growing up, she will inevitably lose something.

For example, now...

She really wants to lie down!!!
-
The three major brands received a reply from Chenxi Entertainment, and they felt relieved and finally decided with Jinli.

But at the same time, Jinli's team also made many more requests than before.

The people in charge of "Ru Meng Ling" and "Tian Gong" looked at it carefully and found that this requirement was actually no different from that of the first-line stars in the industry. They had already filmed such a process many times, so they quickly replied and agreed.

Only "Domi" was somewhat confused about the process required by Jinli's team and had only a vague understanding of it.

It happened that the Domi Advertising Department was in a meeting, so the docking department simply transferred the Jinli team's ideas to them.

Good night~
