Chapter 419 What's wrong with a man being a little scheming

The huge plane flew into the night sky, leaving a long tail trail, then disappeared into the clouds, leisurely painting with the sky as its curtain.

Although airplanes flying at night are not as conspicuous as those during the day, they transform into tiny dots of starlight in the sky, shining with the stars and flashing colorful light.

After getting on the plane, Jinli did not rest, but picked up the tablet to process a pile of information sent by Sister Fang.

Not only did she take out her tablet, but the two assistants beside her were also upgraded to business class and were able to use the wifi in the cabin.

Thanks to the support of Jinli, the real boss, as Jinli's assistants, they were too embarrassed to fall.

Chen Qin took out her tablet and saw Jinli working, so she quietly changed the TV show to a foreign language question practice.

She planned to learn a foreign language so that she could go abroad with Jinli to attend announcements and not become deaf.

Jinli's foreign language skills are pretty good, but only at the average level.

She can only carry out simple and basic communication, and cannot answer more professional questions in depth.

Chen Qin glanced at Xiao Cheng who was sitting next to her. Xiao Cheng's goal was much clearer than hers. As soon as he got on the plane, he took out his tablet, started watching a video, and put on headphones.

Chen Qin thought Xiao Cheng was watching TV series and wanted to remind her not to be so decadent.

After seeing this, she stopped talking.

Xiao Cheng is watching a video of the Formula One World Championship!

Chen Qin suddenly felt that she was the one with the lowest self-control.

Chen Qin thought of the F1 Chinese Grand Prix held in Shanghai last month. Many stars and celebrities went to check in. She watched many videos and collected many of them.

As the first race to host a sprint race this year, China has a tight schedule, including Friday practice + sprint qualifying + Saturday sprint + race qualifying + Sunday race.

She collected some very exciting racing videos, so she immediately took out her mobile phone and sent all the collected videos to Xiao Cheng's WeChat.

Xiao Cheng's phone suddenly vibrated, attracting her attention. She clicked it and found that it was a message from Chen Qin. She turned to look at her with a puzzled look.

Chen Qin smiled without saying anything and just gave her a thumbs up.

Baby, mommy is rooting for you!!!
As for Jinli, she was looking at the brand joint invitation sent by Sister Fang.

When Jinli was approached by many brand managers a few days ago, she had a hunch that many brands wanted to work with her.

In the past few days, Sister Fang sorted out the brand list and the preliminary joint intention form. Knowing that Jinli would fly to the concert in advance, she sent the information to her for review while she was on the plane.

Sui Lingfang understood that Jinli was very busy, both acting and studying.

But she is a first-line star, and the company's attitude towards her is not control, but planning and cooperation, so she has to know about some important collaborations herself.

Jinli flipped through the form and found that the brand's determination to collaborate with her was greater than she had imagined.

A total of eight brands want to collaborate with her!
Fang Jie sent her a message with excitement between the lines: [If we can get all eight of these joint names, you might become one of the most profitable stars this year! ]

Jinli looked at the price list. Judging from the quotation and the subsequent share, Sister Fang was being conservative.

If she could really get them all, she would become the star with the most joint ventures among a single artist, and she might even top the list with an income of over 1 billion.

But this money cannot be collected in one year, but must be spread over several years.

A lot of celebrities' income cannot be cashed out all at once, so the celebrities who make it to the rich list are definitely richer than the publicly released figures.

The world of rich people is really unimaginable to ordinary people.

But her income cannot be compared with that of a team like Marchday. They have more joint ventures, and with four people working together, their total income will definitely exceed that of a single star.

Chenxi Entertainment sent its collaboration intentions to all major brands, but initially did not think many brands would follow suit.

Collaboration is a double-edged sword. If done well, it can leverage the star effect to increase overall market share.

Just like Fangfei, it can also arouse emotional resonance among consumers and enhance brand premium.

But if it is not done well, it will cause the brand image to be distorted and consumers to resist.

At the same time, it is also easy to help celebrities by increasing their IP value but not their brand value.

Alas, I want my brothers to be well, but I am also afraid that they drive a Land Rover.

Those brands are the ones that have such a tangled mentality.

Moreover, the joint venture will give more profits to the celebrities. Many brands would rather pay a fee to buy out the celebrity’s image than to joint venture with the celebrity.

There are so many brands offering joint offers this time. It seems that the great success of Fangfei’s previous magazine has really made other brands jealous.

Jinli prioritizes the collaborations with first-tier brands - Lingyu and Lanxi, both of which are first-tier light luxury brands with full sincerity.

Many high-end luxury brands generally do not collaborate with celebrities other than spokespersons, for fear that the celebrities may face risks.

High-end luxury brands focus on brand image and reputation. They do not need to collaborate with celebrities to boost sales in order to achieve longer-term benefits.

Collaborations are usually only used for short-term projects with a short cooperation cycle, which not only controls costs, but also allows for replacements at any time if a celebrity suddenly encounters an image crisis.

Therefore, the joint venture will pay more attention to product creativity, in order to vertically and accurately target the target audience and adopt a fast-selling model.

The fact that Jinli has won the favor of affordable luxury brands has already reached the ceiling in the current joint venture field.

Perhaps other high-end luxury brands will also enter the joint-branded field in the future, but that is a matter for the future.

The two brands' initial intention for the joint venture is shoes and bags, [Lingyu] joint shoes, and [Lanxi] joint bags.

These two products are the types that the two brands are best at. As long as the brands put a little more effort into it, coupled with the support of Jinli's popularity, it is very likely that a big hit will be launched.

So Sister Fang specifically added a line of small notes behind these two brands: You can get a high commission and ask for a high price.

Except for the collaborations with these two first-tier brands, Jinli can pass the customs directly, while all other collaborations are with second- and third-tier brands, but these are sub-brands of large companies.

For the remaining 6 brands, Jinli needs Chenxi Entertainment to send someone to conduct docking and inspection.

She replied to Fang Jie: [Ask the brand to provide a few samples similar to the co-branded products. The quality of the co-branded products must be the same as the sample quality. Sign the contract in advance. If the co-branded products are produced later and the quality of our spot checks is not up to standard, we will sue the brand for breach of contract.]

Jinli added: [Even first-tier brands have to give samples. We must be careful about the quality of the products.]

Sui Lingfang replied "OK" and then asked her: "Are you going to take over all the brands?"

Jinli thought for a while. As a star, the more collaborations she had, the better. This represented her commercial value.

If the quality can be controlled, it seems that it’s okay to have more products?

But she thought about it from another perspective: if she was a Party A that was being fought over by many Party Bs, how could she ensure that her own interests were maximized and that the quality of the products produced by Party B was the best?

Jinli quickly came up with an idea.

She actually doesn't need to use a lot of joint names to prove her commercial value.

Her value is there, and she won’t be looked down upon by any brand just because she takes fewer announcements and endorsements.

The magazine Fang Fei founded was a huge success. This is her achievement, and no one can erase her contribution.

Therefore, instead of making more money, Jinli wants to bring more important product quality to fans.

So Jinli replied: [Let them bid against each other, compete against each other, and participate in the competition together. I will only choose four out of the eight joint names, or even less. ]

Her eyes fell on the quotation again. She had originally put a √ behind Lingyu and Lanxi, but she added another stroke, making it an ×.

Jinli: [Lingyu and Lanxi will also participate in the bidding and competing products. We treat them equally and quality is king.] Sui Lingfang took half an hour to reply to Jinli.

【OK!!】
-
Two hours later, Jinli got off the plane. The wind at the airport was very strong, and it blew so hard that her cheeks instantly felt chilled.

Fortunately, they were all prepared and took a down jacket in advance and put it on before getting off the plane.

Once we entered the venue from outside and the heating was turned on, everyone felt warm in no time.

There were a lot of people coming and going at the airport, and Jinli was worried that she would be recognized... Well, she was recognized when she got off the plane. Fans happily took out their phones to take pictures of her and asked if they could get autographs and take photos with her.

Jinli quickly took the five people to a secluded corner and whispered, "I'll sign for you, don't make a sound. If there are too many people, I won't be able to sign. We have to run away quickly."

The fans all nodded excitedly.

Jinli not only signed for them, but also gave them signatures and wrote a blessing for each of them.

She took time to practice her handwriting in preparation for the college entrance examination paper. Although the handwriting with a signature pen is not as stylish as that with a brush, it is still acceptable.

"All wishes come true", "May your dreams come true", "Everything goes well", "Good luck in succession", "Abundant wealth and prosperity" - there are only a few words, and Jinli finished signing in a short while.

These five fans were also interesting, both male and female. They knew Jinli didn't want to be recognized, so they simply gathered her in the center, and the others turned their backs to her and helped her keep an eye on the outside.

So these people didn't know that Jinli also gave them a signature.

After Jinli said she had finished signing, they continued to surround her. Three of them stayed outside as a human wall, leaving space inside for Jinli to take photos with others.

Those who took the photo did not leave, but quietly took over their positions to form a human wall.

The two assistants had nothing to do with this operation.

Xiao Cheng and Chen Qin whispered to each other: "I feel that Jinli's fans are of high quality. They didn't scream when they saw Jinli, but many young people would scream loudly when they see a star."

Chen Qin whispered back, "Maybe it's because I'm old, I'm not as emotional as young people, so don't worry too much."

Xiao Cheng glanced at the fans and gave them affirmation: "Well, at least they look like adults."

After Jinli took photos with her fans, she was really leaving.

The fan asked quietly: "Jinli, can the photos be published on social occasions?"

Jinli nodded: "Of course you can. If you don't want to be watched by so many people, remember to watermark yourself. I have no problem with that."

"By the way, upload it to the social media platform in two hours to create a time difference."

The fans nodded repeatedly, "Got it, got it, we'll upload it in two hours."

One fan even handed Jinli an orange and said meaningfully: "You showed up at this time, I know why you came here, my destination is the same as yours, but I am here as a spectator.

I met you in a hurry and didn't have time to write you a letter, so I sent you an orange from my hometown to satisfy your craving and supplement your vitamin C!"

As soon as this fan gave it to Jinli, another fan wanted to pass the small fried dough twist in his hand to Jinli as well.

Chen Qin and Xiao Cheng appeared immediately, declined the fans' kindness, said they would not accept any gifts, and then hurriedly left with Jinli.

They took the VIP channel and didn't encounter any fans along the way. They successfully got into the car that had been parked at the entrance.

Jinli got in the car, looking at the orange in her hand, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

She left in such a hurry that she didn't have time to return the oranges.

Chen Qin looked at Jinli like this and laughed foolishly.

Ahhh, CP people CP soul, she wants to buy the shares of Explosive Pear Orange CP! -
After driving for three hours, we finally arrived at the nearby city, which is Dongwei City.

Marchday’s concert is approaching, and there are too many fans coming to Dongwei City, which puts a lot of pressure on local traffic.

Even if you take the highway the whole way, there will still be traffic jams on the highway.

It was already two o'clock in the morning. Gu Cheng set an alarm clock and sent a message to Jinli after waking up, asking her where she was.

Jinli: [Still stuck on the highway, crying]

Gu Cheng: [Ask the driver to check the navigation to see how long it will take to reach the hotel]

Jinli: [The driver said that based on the current traffic jam, it might be five o'clock]

Gu Cheng: [pat on the head (ω)(._.`)]

Gu Cheng: [Go to sleep now, stop doing the questions. I'll take you to breakfast when you get there. I found a great place to have breakfast! ]

Jinli: [OK (high five)]

Jinli: [You should also go to bed quickly. It’s so late and you’re still not asleep.]

Gu Cheng smiled lightly, [I didn’t see you coming, so I felt a little uneasy in my sleep]

Jinli: ...

She suddenly put her face close to the window and pressed it against the window to cool down.

Why are you suddenly saying this? It makes me think a lot.
-
At half past five in the morning, Jinli finally arrived at the hotel.

The journey didn’t make me physically tired, but I was mentally tired. Just sitting there was exhausting.

This time there was a special driver responsible for the pick-up, and Xiao Cheng did not drive. She and Chen Qin both fell asleep in crooked postures, and when they woke up they felt severe pain in their necks.

Jinli closed her eyes and rested for several hours. She didn't fall asleep, but she felt energetic.

Arriving at the hotel lobby, Jinli was checking in when she suddenly heard a familiar and clear voice:

"We've booked the presidential suite. We're right next to you. Do you want to catch up on some sleep or have breakfast first?"

Jinli looked up and found that Gu Cheng had already dressed neatly.

He was wearing a baseball sweatshirt, a hat, and no mask. He was tall and stood next to Jinli. He lowered his head slightly, and the corner of his lips accidentally brushed against the broken hair on Jinli's forehead.

Jinli was stunned for a moment, but Gu Cheng turned his head nonchalantly, as if he hadn't noticed what had just happened.

She looked at Gu Cheng a few more times and felt that this man was actually quite scheming.

uh-huh.

He cleaned himself up and was ready to go out at any time. How could Jinli not understand his thoughts?

After completing the registration, Jinli asked Chen Qin and Xiao Cheng if they wanted to have breakfast first.

Xiao Cheng felt a little hungry and was about to speak when Chen Qin suddenly pulled her out and said, "No need, let's go upstairs and rest first. I didn't sleep well all the way and I feel dizzy."

Jinli smiled and said, "Then I'll pack it up for you."

Chen Qin: "Okay, okay!"

After getting on the elevator, Xiao Cheng asked in confusion: "Didn't you just say you were hungry?"

Chen Qin: "I am a little hungry, but mentally I am very agitated. I am in a state of 'I am hungry physically, but mentally I can still hold on'. Do you understand my excitement?"

Xiao Cheng understood, "You can't wait to see the concert!"

Chen Qin: …

Family members, do you understand my sadness of talking at cross purposes? ?
