Chapter 583 The Boss Was Eager to Sign Me
Jinli said, "President Fangfei called me."
Upon hearing this, Zou Da and Sui Lingfang's argument abruptly ceased.
Jinli answered the phone and put it on speakerphone.
Dai Xueling's voice came from the phone, saying happily, "I just saw your college entrance exam results online, they're fantastic. You're Fangfei's spokesperson in China, and I'm so proud of you."
Jinli smiled faintly, "Thank you. I just did my best, and heaven did not let me down, giving me a pretty good score."
Dai Xueling does not agree with this.
"When we asked you to shoot the commercial for Fangfei's summer ready-to-wear collection, the PR team did an analysis for you. A group of professionals spent a long time watching your live stream videos to analyze whether you were really learning or just putting on a show."
Those people say you are really studying, that you have spent two years studying every day without slacking off, and that you must have spent a lot of time studying in private besides live streaming.
Your score is the result of your hard work, not a stroke of luck.
Jinli smiled without saying a word.
Many netizens are saying that she got away with it entirely because of luck, and her fans are criticizing her, saying it's all out of jealousy.
Can you score 685 points by luck?
Is it possible to barely make it into Tsinghua or Peking University, the top universities in the country, by sheer luck?
Is it possible to reliably surpass the admission scores of 985 and 211 universities by relying on luck?
I've only ever heard of people who are good enough for a first-tier university getting into a top university by luck, and people who are good enough for a top university getting into one of the most prestigious universities by luck.
But I've never heard of someone who can't even meet the undergraduate admission requirements getting into the top university in the country by sheer luck.
To achieve such a high score, luck alone is not enough; one also needs exceptional ability.
Therefore, when many billionaires participate in interviews, they attribute their success to good luck, which is just humbly.
After exchanging pleasantries, Dai Xueling cut to the chase: "Your college entrance exam scores are so outstanding that both the marketing team and everyone in the company wants to deepen our cooperation with you. Are you interested in the position of Fangfei's global brand ambassador?"
The topic was brought up so quickly that even Jinli was a little caught off guard.
As for Zou Da and Sui Lingfang, they were so surprised that their mouths were agape.
In the video conference, not only Zhang Guang and Gu Cheng, but also the other members of March Sky were present.
They all happened to hear it: President Fangfei directly appointed Jinli as the global spokesperson!
Chen Lin looked surprised. Although March Band, as a top boy band in China, seemed very powerful, they had not managed to secure a global ambassadorship with a high-end luxury brand.
This achievement is extremely difficult to obtain.
Every high-end luxury brand has a global presence. When choosing a global brand ambassador, it's not just about the celebrity's global influence, but also about the strength of the country the celebrity represents.
To put it bluntly, even the most famous celebrities from small countries will find it very difficult to secure the opportunity to become global brand ambassadors for high-end luxury brands.
If a celebrity from a small country becomes the global brand ambassador, what will fans from other powerful countries think? Will they feel that this celebrity has lowered the prestige of luxury goods?
Unless a celebrity goes to that country to develop their career and gains the approval of most of the people there, the brand's fans will not be willing to accept it.
The significance behind global brand ambassadors is not only that brands are optimistic about the future of celebrities, but also that they represent global entertainment trends.
Throughout history, the choice of global brand ambassadors by high-end luxury brands reflects their aesthetic preferences. The feeling that a celebrity evokes is the feeling that the brand wants to convey.
March Band has a disadvantage in terms of global brand ambassadors, which is that they have too many of them.
Each member has a different aesthetic preference, which means there is a diversity of styles.
That's why brands can't really use them to promote their brand image and aesthetics.
Therefore, the global brand ambassador is usually chosen from only one most suitable person.
Chen Lin turned to the team leader and whispered, "I always thought that when high-end luxury brands choose spokespeople, the regional general manager would handle the communication. I didn't expect that the president would personally extend an invitation to the celebrity."
Yan Xingdong shook his head and said, "Fangfei is a high-end luxury brand born in our own country, so it will always be a little different. What is ours is also the world's, and what is the world's is also ours."
Luo Yi added, "Moreover, judging from the conversation, Fangfei's president is very satisfied with Jinli, and their relationship seems to be very good."
Chen Lin was also a little jealous.
He also wanted to be good friends with the high-ranking CEO, and he wouldn't mind if the CEO chatted with him every day.
In the conference room of Morning Light Entertainment, there was a few seconds of silence before Jinli spoke: "My China regional spokesperson contract still has one year left."
Dai Xueling decisively said, "There's no need to wait a year for an official announcement. We'll upgrade your level directly and renegotiate the contract."
Jinli stared intently at Dai Xueling and said carefully, "I feel honored and humbled that Fangfei thinks so highly of me. I would like to ask if this was a decision you made on your own or the result of a discussion among everyone."
Dai Xueling smiled gently; Jinli was indeed very perceptive.
Although she mentioned earlier that the company wanted to deepen its cooperation with Jinli, they did not intend to give her a global brand ambassadorship. They just wanted her to shoot more commercials and endorse more important main products.
So, the decision to upgrade her status was made on her own.
She was impatient to listen to those board members discuss things for a year and a half.
Although Dai Xueling herself studied at a university abroad, she also experienced the national college entrance examination in China and understands its importance to Chinese people.
Many major events happen every year, but the National College Entrance Examination (Gaokao) is one of the most important events that the whole country pays attention to every year. It holds a very special place in the hearts of the Chinese people.
Jin Li, an artist who grew up under the spotlight of the entire internet, also holds a special place in the hearts of Chinese people.
Dai Xueling believes that Jinli is the "national daughter" in the eyes of netizens.
Nothing makes the whole family happier than our daughter getting good grades.
Dai Xueling then said, "It was my own decision, and I am capable of taking responsibility for it."
Upon hearing this, Jinli no longer hesitated and said confidently, "Since Fangfei thinks so highly of me, I will definitely reciprocate and continue to cooperate with Fangfei!"
Dai Xueling smiled happily; this was the second happiest smile she had had that day since hearing Jinli's college entrance exam results.
"I believe our cooperation will be very pleasant."
The entire call lasted less than five minutes, and Fangfei's status as a global brand ambassador was decided so happily.
The speed was so fast that even Zhang Guang in the video was amazed.
This is what it means for a celebrity to be chased around and fed by brands!
When will he be treated like a luxury brand dumping a contract on him?
Zhang Guang couldn't help but look at Gu Cheng beside him, his gaze intense.
Gu Cheng took a few steps to the side, sensing a dangerous glint in Guang Ge's eyes. After hanging up with Dai Xueling, Chenxi Entertainment and Guangyue Media continued discussing the two artists' schedules.
Because all the artists under my management took the college entrance examination and scored very well, they will definitely receive a lot of invitations for appearances.
Both parties intend to share information and exchange market trends to prevent uncontrolled announcement costs, while also imposing restrictions on certain announcements to prevent frequent participation.
After all, both of them took the college entrance examination, making it all the more easy for netizens to compare them.
They don't want the commercial value of two celebrities to decrease due to fan wars or comparisons among netizens, so they need to prepare early warnings.
The discussion lasted only a few minutes before Jinli's phone rang again.
This time, the call came from the head of the Greater China region for the high-end luxury brand Rumengling.
Jinli previously filmed the new perfume "Freedom and Coolness" for the brand "Ru Meng Ling," which focuses on the concept of "unrestrained and unfettered."
The promotional video was a great success upon its release.
At the same time, because the "Freedom Coolness" perfume is indeed well-made, it sold out as soon as it was launched, thanks to the promotion and support of Jinli and the brand.
Every time new stock is released, it sells out instantly. Even now, many people are in a situation where they pay first and then wait for the brand to ship the goods.
Ru Mengling was already very satisfied with Jinli's endorsement. They had also discussed privately that if Jinli's college entrance exam results were not good, as long as the online public opinion was acceptable and netizens did not riot, they would not pursue compensation for Jinli's failed bet.
Now, Jinli is not just not good, she's absolutely amazing!
With such high scores on the college entrance exam, they've already won their bet with them and have to pay Jinli a hefty endorsement fee.
But Ru Mengling paid the fee willingly.
They chose a great perfume spokesperson; the new perfume is sure to sell like hotcakes!
The person in charge called this time, but it wasn't about the perfume.
Jinli mentioned the name of the person in charge, and the atmosphere in the room froze again.
They were all familiar with this person in charge.
What does Ru Mengling want with Jinli? Is she going to ask her again, in an exaggerated way, if she's interested in becoming the global brand ambassador?
As soon as the call was answered, the person in charge's voice rang out throughout the room, laughing loudly as he said, "Jinli, do you have any ideas about becoming the global spokesperson for Rumengling?"
Everyone else was stunned.
Fantasy has become reality!
These people must be crazy!
And if they remembered correctly, didn't Ru Mengling contact Zhang Guang just now, wanting to give them a global spokesperson?
It just depends on Gu Cheng's grades.
Of all those present, perhaps only Zhang Guang remained calm.
He had dealt with the person in charge of Ru Meng Ling many times and knew that this person loved to make jokes, especially when he first called. He always said things that he couldn't give but would say he could.
Because of this person's way of doing things, he was misunderstood several times and suffered some consequences.
Therefore, Zhang Guang summarized a method for dealing with the person in charge of Ru Meng Ling: during a phone conversation, you can't believe the first ten sentences the person says!
After ten sentences, what is said becomes somewhat half-true and half-false, so you can pretend not to listen.
After ten minutes of talking, those words become a real conversation, and you have to listen carefully.
Following his own summary, Zhang Guang, after a ten-minute phone conversation with the person in charge of Rumengling and after repeated confirmation, effectively secured March Sky's position as the next global brand ambassador ahead of schedule.
Jinli's team was unaware of this and were all very tempted. Sui Lingfang even pinched her arm, afraid that she would agree on Jinli's behalf.
Jinli, the person involved, was much more composed than them, and said with a smile:
"I just agreed to become Fangfei's global spokesperson, and if Rumengling doesn't mind, I'd also like to be your global spokesperson."
The person in charge laughed again.
He was on his phone making a call, but he couldn't see where they were, let alone know that Zhang Guang and the others were in the video conference.
The person in charge said, "It's a real pity. Fangfei has a great eye for talent. She selected you, a potential stock, so early on. My eye for talent is so-so. I only selected Gu Cheng ahead of time."
That's what they said, but their words revealed a great deal of pride.
Jinli congratulated him: "Gu Cheng's grades are much better than mine. If Ru Meng Ling can get March Sky to be its global spokesperson, it will definitely bring more positive effects to Ru Meng Ling."
The person in charge said with a smile, "Jinli, your performance is not bad either. Because of the perfume you endorsed before, the head of the perfume department has been very powerful lately. He talks about you all the time and wants to hang all the new products developed next quarter on your bag."
He paused, revealing that his visit to Jinli this time wasn't really for the global brand ambassadorship.
This has already been promised to March Sky.
Gu Cheng's college entrance exam scores were ridiculously high; only a fool would hand over the spokesperson.
If it weren't for the propaganda department's concern about over-exaggerating the publicity, and the desire to display phrases like "city champion" and "province champion" on the public screen, Ru Mengling would at least have a spokesperson who is at least a city champion!
Gu Cheng is not only handsome, but also talented, with decent singing skills, and most importantly—
He's very smart!
It's wonderful that such people don't need to be handed over to the state.
The person in charge said, "I came to see you today to ask if you have any ideas about the bag line for 'Like a Dream'?"
Jinli's eyes narrowed slightly: "A bag? You mean the new bag?"
Sui Lingfang then spoke up, "President Liu, the spokesperson for Ru Meng Ling's new handbag line will probably have to wait until Jin Li arrives—"
Before he could finish speaking, the person in charge interrupted him: "It's not an endorsement for the new bag, but for all bags, including the brand's timeless classic styles!"
Jinli clearly heard the other members of the team gasp in shock.
In fact, everyone knows that she can't become the global spokesperson for Ru Meng Ling. Jin Li's temperament is somewhat incompatible with Ru Meng Ling, not to mention that she has already agreed to Fang Fei's CEO's offer.
Generally speaking, high-end luxury brands will only select one celebrity as their spokesperson, giving the celebrity brand value and discouraging other brands from vying for the position.
Repeatedly choosing the same celebrities can actually make netizens lose interest.
On the other hand, non-compete agreements have always existed. When celebrities sign endorsement contracts with high-end luxury brands, the brands often specify "exclusivity" in the contracts.
Jinli thought for a moment and said, "If it's about being the global spokesperson for a 'Dreamlike Order' private room, I'm willing to take the job."
The person in charge hesitated for a moment, but finally gritted his teeth and said, "Let's sign the contract today!"
Jinli: "So fast? Should we wait a little longer?"
She has always been considerate in persuading brands to calm down.
The person in charge shook his head. "No need to wait, we'll sign it today."
If we can't sign the contract today, who knows if an even more powerful brand will come along and shove it up tomorrow? Ru Mengling will be crying then.
After all, the price of brocade pears is getting higher every day.
