I became famous in the entertainment industry by burning incense

Chapter 426 Challenge! High-intensity physical training!

When Jinli boarded the plane to leave, some companies also held meetings because of her.

For example, Lingyu and Lanxi, these two first-line brands, called people to a meeting shortly after they became trending searches on Jinli.

The topic of discussion at this meeting was naturally the co-branded products related to Jinli.

Originally, Lingyu and Lanxi were very positive about launching a joint cooperation with Jinli. Now that Jinli has become a hot search again, they have become even more positive.

Unlike other second- and third-tier brands that also wanted to cooperate with Jinli but were trying to make Jinli give in, these two first-tier brands all increased their leverage in this meeting.

They hope to win Jinli's favor and carry out deeper development cooperation with her.

The relevant person in charge of Lingyu directly proposed in the meeting: "Why don't we find Jinli to be the image spokesperson?

Jinli has been very popular this year, and she is a first-line celebrity. She has not endorsed any shoe products, so she fits in well with our image. "

However, when this proposal was made, none of the other responsible persons showed any interest in it.

Don't they want Jinli to be their image spokesperson?

But looking at Jinli's current offer, it's not that they don't want to hire her, but that they can't afford it!

Otherwise, how could they possibly want to start a joint cooperation with Jinli and give up some sales share?
Because Jinli's value in the advertising industry is really high now.

Her quotation is already showing a trend of entering the first tier of first-tier stars.

The first tier consists of stars like Marchday who have long-lasting traffic.

They are a team of four people, so the offer for endorsements is the highest in the circle.

Although Marchday’s endorsement fee is very high, it’s actually quite cost-effective when you think about the fact that this offer allows four stars to shoot together.

But Jinli is alone.

Instead of offering her such a high price to be a spokesperson, it would be better to let her share in the sales profits.

In silence, someone else spoke up: "Let's study the conditions given by Chenxi Entertainment carefully. We can make the competition the best and let Jinli choose us."

The conversation started, and others followed suit: "Yes, we initially approached Jinli just to collaborate with her. We put the endorsement aside and make the co-branded product first."

The person in charge who first proposed it said somewhat unwillingly: "Jinli is currently filming Director Chu's special effects blockbuster, which is very likely to be released during the winter or summer vacation next year.

You all know the quality of Director Chu's films, they will definitely be a hit.

If we sign Jinli as our spokesperson in advance, combined with the popularity of Director Chu's film, Jinli's commercial value will continue to rise, and this deal will be a huge profit!"

Others shook their heads: "No matter what, you still use Jinli's future value to judge its current value. None of us can predict what will happen in the future.

Once a spokesperson signs a contract, it is easy to sign for three years. After three years, who knows how Jinli's development will be?
We should continue to promote the fast-selling method of co-branding and quickly monetize Jinli's reputation and products, which is more in line with the interests of the group."

Unlike the internal dispute within Lingyu, there was no idea of ​​signing Jinli as a spokesperson at the meeting of Lanxi.

Jinli's current endorsement fee is still too high. If it could be cheaper by 10 million, perhaps they would consider it.

Many people were thinking of signing Jinli after her popularity dropped a little.

Therefore, Lan Xi spent the entire meeting discussing co-branded products.

Originally, they planned to launch a light luxury bag priced at around 2,000 yuan, but Jinli not only required the quality of the product, but also required bidding against each other.

Lan Xi knew that other brands had also approached Jinli to collaborate, and the actual value of an item could reach a maximum, and the premium was the premium of the brand value.

So a light luxury bag may seem very expensive, selling for two or three thousand yuan, but its actual cost may be only one thousand yuan, and the excess is all premium.

If brands compete with each other, the prices of affordable luxury brands will be absolutely uncompetitive.

So they wanted to change their thinking and make a bag that would meet Jinli's requirements.

After much discussion, they thought of the case of Fangfei selling magazines again.

A person in charge of Lanxi said: "Fangfei launched a magazine related to Jinli this time, and inlaid scented pieces on the inner pages of the magazine. It was innovative in technology, but the price was not very high, which did not conform to the public's impression of luxury goods.

So I think we can follow Fangfei's example and give full play to Jinli's commercial value to make bags that are not so expensive but of good quality.

I suggest setting the price of the bag between 200 and 500 this time, what do you think? "

"Two hundred to five hundred? No, that's too low! The cheapest bag we sell in our store costs 688!"

"We can definitely keep up with the quality, but the price doesn't fit our brand strategy. Since it's an affordable luxury brand, how can we sell it too cheaply?"

Just as everyone was arguing, a senior executive said quietly: "But Fangfei is still a luxury product, but they also treat Jinli specially.

Fang Fei can pull herself down from the altar, so why can't we lose face for Jin Li?"

After all, everyone is scared by the word "bidding".

They are very worried that they will stumble because of the price.

Lingyu and Lanxi both actively cooperated with Jinli's request. They agreed to participate in the competition and bidding without saying a word, and spread the news through Chenxi Entertainment.

Originally, three brands formed an alliance to put pressure on Jinli, but one brand immediately sent an email to Chenxi Entertainment the day it heard the news, expressing its willingness to agree to Jinli's request.

The alliance collapsed on its own and was disintegrated from within.

What can the other two brands do?
I could only agree to Jinli's request reluctantly.

The first-tier brands have all agreed, so what is there for second-tier and third-tier brands to gain?
If they quit the competition at this time, what would the headquarters think? Would they think they were not working hard enough?
With the internal circulation being so complicated, brands are saying that they are being "severely exploited by Jinli"!

Some brand managers secretly hope that Jinli will be out of business in the next few months, so that there is no need to discuss any cooperation.

They don't have to cut their own flesh and blood while groveling and talking to Jinli about cooperation.
-
Jinli didn't know the complicated inner thoughts of the brand manager.

She flew back to the crew that day and did not rest. She worked overtime at night and was taught by the special effects artist invited by the director how to shoot special effects films.

Motion capture is always necessary when shooting special effects films.

This requires stars to undergo high-intensity endurance training and simulated weight training——

Put on a specific motion capture suit to complete continuous rolling, climbing and other movements, first adapt to the weight of the equipment, and then make the maximum range of motion limit.

Wearing a motion capture suit weighing nearly seven kilograms and performing intense movements without any weight is also a big challenge for celebrities.

So after the special effects artist briefly explained how motion capture and facial capture were shot, he made the first request to Jinli:
"Jinli, you still need to train your physical strength. You have to attend a 2-hour comprehensive physical training class every day for the next week. I will help you train your core strength, flexibility, and explosive power."

Jinli frowned slightly, nodded, and did not express her worries.

She was worried that her body couldn't take it.

When she returned to the hotel at night, Jinli searched for a while and quickly found the statue of the Water God that she had bought when she worshipped the Water God last time.

When Gu Cheng was praying, he video-called her, and she also worshipped the statue in the video, and gained a bit of divine power from it.

This gave her some inspiration.

Since divine power can be transmitted via WiFi, what if we just buy a statue of the god and worship it? Although after this idea came up, she had a hunch in her heart: this method might not work.

But she still wanted to try it.

Jinli placed the statue on a high platform, offered fruits and vegetables, and then lit three incense sticks.

She solemnly performed the ritual of kneeling three times and kowtowed nine times to the statue.

After the worship, she had no reaction at all.

Jinli thought about it, stood up and walked out.

But even when she walked out the door, there was still no response.

Jinli took a break.

Yes, I knew that worshipping God was not an easy thing to do.

Unless you really invite the god back, put him in the shrine, offer incense every day, and worship him for a long time, you can attract a trace of divine power.

But as a star, she has a long schedule and cannot stay in one place for a long time. She cannot serve the statue attentively every day, so this method is useless to her.

After thinking about it, there is only one method left.

The next day, Chen Qin and Xiao Cheng were called to a meeting by Jinli. They were surprised to hear the request made by Jinli.

Chen Qin asked hesitantly: "Sister Jinli, are you sure this method is really useful? Why do I feel that it is more of a psychological comfort?"

Xiao Cheng nodded in agreement.

Jinli spread her hands: "I also think it's just psychological comfort, but the crew has to undergo high-intensity training, and I'm afraid my body can't bear it, but if I can pray every day, maybe it should be possible."

It’s still morning, but she has already finished filming all the literary scenes and will have to start physical training in the afternoon.

She was afraid that her body couldn't hold up.

Although physical activities can also achieve twice the result with half the effort, the energy consumed by physical activities and mental activities is different.

If she keeps doing exercises, her consumption will keep up with the replenishment of her abilities.

But if you keep doing physical training, the consumption will definitely be greater than the replenishment.

Chen Qin thought for a moment and said, "I can go to the Taoist temple to worship, but without me by your side, I'm worried about your safety."

Everyone looked at Xiao Cheng, who finally reacted and said quickly, "I will follow Sister Jinli closely!"

Jinli smiled and said, "There are so many people on the crew, my safety is guaranteed, you don't have to worry too much."

Chen Qin also thought of this. When she came back, Sister Jinli might have just left the crew, so she could just take over the protection work.

After figuring it out, Chen Qin sent Jinli to the crew without further delay, and then set off for the Taoist temple.

Yes, since the divine power can be transmitted through WiFi, I can only trouble Chen Qin to go to the Taoist temple every day during her training days, and let her worship the statue through her mobile phone so that she can recharge remotely.

The process is bound to be tortuous.

The result is bright!
Jinli has been doing physical training this week, and then discovered a fact, that is, the training is not based on two! hours!

The trainer will continue to increase the training according to the actor's acceptance level. Unless you really collapse physically and mentally, it is possible that he will let you train for more than 10 hours a day.

Jinli had never undergone such high-intensity training. She felt like a rough piece of steel that was constantly being hammered and shaped, and finally turned into a soft piece...

Marshmallow.

Every time the body is trained to be shaky and about to fall, it will be inspired by the strong willpower to stand up again.

Even the trainer looked at her in shock.

I wondered how this person did it, making people feel like she was going to die in the next second, but then she went to the bathroom and recovered like crazy.

cough cough.

Whether going to the bathroom was for going to the bathroom or to worship, Jinli would not say.

After this period of devilish training, Jinli was just glad that she had foresight.

When Jinli began training for special effects filming, Director Chu also focused his attention on the two leading actors, Xu Ting and Bai Jiang.

Without the filter of familiar faces with whom they had worked before, Director Chu's tolerance for Xu Ting and Bai Jiang was no longer the same as before.

In the past, their acting wasn’t good and didn’t fit with their characters, and Director Chu would say a few kind words to them at the beginning and ask them to try reshooting first.

Now, if they don’t perform well, Director Chu will start criticizing them and will treat them strictly.

They were under high pressure and in dire straits, while Jinli was also tortured by physical training.

But the effects brought by the two sides are completely different.

Xu Ting and Bai Jiang didn't act well and were criticized by Director Chu. Others would only think:
"They are in a very bad state today!"

"It seems their acting skills are not as good as expected!"

"Why is Director Chu angry again today? Is the acting so bad?"

The harsher Director Chu scolded, the more questions they faced.

But Jinli is the opposite. The more she insists on completing the plan customized by the trainer, the more admiration she will get from others.

"Wow, they look so fragile, but they managed to hold on!"

"I almost thought she would fall down the next second. She really fell down, but she struggled to get up again in a few seconds."

"Jinli is so amazing. How did she manage to complete the training task? Her willpower is so strong."

……

Such a tragic and obvious contrast was enough to overwhelm even Bai Jiang, who had a calm mind.

As for Xu Ting, she was a little broken this week. The only reason she didn't completely collapse was because she was scolded back by Director Chu.

Xu Ting didn't want to leave a bad impression on Director Chu and make him think that she couldn't handle pressure well, so no matter how harshly Director Chu scolded her, she didn't shed a tear.

But when not filming, Xu Ting kept urging her assistant to investigate what Jinli had done secretly.

She always felt that the people in the crew were looking at her more and more strangely.

Another week passed, Xu Ting and Bai Jiang finally finished the literary part, and will also have physical training next week.

This weekend, Xu Ting sent a message to Bai Jiang again, asking him out for dinner.

After Bai Jiang thought about it over and over again in the hotel, he finally agreed.

Director Chu had changed his attitude towards them, and he also wanted to talk to Xu Ting to see what kind of changes should be made.
