Actor: Thank you.

"what is the problem?"

Zhang Yuan became slightly serious.

He even put down the fried dough stick he was holding.

Zeng Jia received the task while she was in Hong Kong: to communicate with Beijing TV.

Zhang Yuan didn't pay much attention to Beijing TV, after all, he had connections with CCTV in Beijing.

"I contacted the Beijing TV station." Zeng Jia looked troubled and smacked her lips a few times.

"Sit down and talk." Seeing her condition, Zhang Yuan guessed she wouldn't be better anytime soon, so he pulled her aside and told her slowly.

"The other party's attitude is a bit of an overreaction."

"Just say that your attitude during the interview was bad."

"It's not just that," Zhang Yuan said, his words clearly embellished. "Just tell me directly."

"I want to hear what the other person said verbatim."

"People say you're arrogant and lack professional ethics."

"Vulgar thoughts and despicable character."

Zhang Yuan: …

You're being a bit too blunt.

I reasonably suspect you're just venting.

But you could also tell from their tone that they seemed quite emotional.

"So petty?" He rubbed his chin, pondering.

"It was just a few words of rebuttal, and the questions your reporters asked were inappropriate."

Did you express your desire for reconciliation?

"We can offer some conditions, like participating in the program and then arranging interviews, etc..."

“I told you.” This was what Zeng Jia found troublesome.

"But they completely ignored me."

"It's like they've made up their minds and are determined to make things difficult for us."

"That's strange..." Zhang Yuan didn't quite understand.

He even began to doubt himself.

Could it be that I've really gotten too cocky and offended someone?

“The fact that you can think this way shows that you’re not getting carried away,” Cheng Hao said, who had been listening nearby.

That's true; people who get carried away are unlikely to realize they're wrong.

"Investigate again and report back!" Zhang Yuan thought for a while but had no clue, so he gave the order.

Zeng Jia also experienced what it means to have "one mouth from above, and legs running themselves ragged below".

The artists in our company are all quite honest, but the boss is just restless!
She never imagined that it was precisely because Zhang Yuan was "unruly" that his subordinates would behave and have the right to be "obedient."

Zhang Yuan made some work arrangements.

I participated in some brand pre-Chinese New Year events.

She didn't get all those endorsements from Japanese brands for nothing.

He can earn 1 to 200 million yuan an hour just by cutting ribbons, especially before the Lunar New Year when major shopping malls, business districts, and brands will be holding events.

So after arriving from Hong Kong, I was busy until takeoff.

I basically run two or three shows a day, from morning till night.

He was starting to panic because he could earn tens of thousands of yuan in just one week.

I feel like my views on money are going to get all messed up if this continues.

You can check the tax rate.

25% for corporate income, 20% for individual income...

No wonder those who make money quickly are more likely to evade taxes.

Zhang Yuan keeps the money in the company instead of transferring it to his own account, which saves him 20% in taxes.

Anyway, the company is his, so he can just use the company's accounts to pay for the money.

I also went to discuss the endorsement issue with Mercedes-Benz.

The other party insisted that the contract was only for one year, and they would wait and see how things went.

They only gave a small amount, just 300 million.

Big companies don't necessarily pay more.

Some large companies feel that you are trying to piggyback on their traffic.

There are even celebrities who "take out loans to work".

He also made a request: less money is fine, we're all on the same side, it's a win-win situation.

But one thing is certain: this is just my personal endorsement.

The character I portray is not bound by any constraints.

Because I still have to film "Fast & Furious"!

There are plenty of cars in this movie, but hardly any Mercedes.

I can't just stop filming movies for the sake of an endorsement.

It took a long time to reach an agreement.

Then, to his surprise, Mr. Lei called him.

They did exchange phone numbers that day.

Zhang Yuan thought to himself, "Has this person changed their mind?"
of course not.

However, it's better to take the initiative to contact someone than not to, as it means that at least a basic connection has been established.

Contact him again to discuss the acquisition of Duowan Games.

The other party personally confirmed whether what he said that day was true.

In other words, they do not support selling the company.

Zhang Yuan reiterated that he preferred to hold the stock for the long term, which made the other party's tone much more relaxed.

Then we briefly discussed his thoughts.

Of course, I don't want to sell.

Not only do they not want to sell, they also want to push for an IPO.

To attract more venture capital, the company needs to be repackaged and reorganized.

Introducing investment will dilute the shares of existing shareholders, and restructuring the company also requires the approval of all shareholders.

The other party contacted him informally to give him a heads-up.

People who truly get things done only propose solutions when they are confident in their abilities.

Once a proposal is made, it must be fulfilled; otherwise, it will affect one's prestige within the group.

Zhang Yuan's answer was simple: he supported him.

Leave professional matters to professionals; the greatest contribution you can make is simply not joining in the chaos.

Mr. Lei remained as polite as ever, expressing his gratitude and hoping that he would stick to his opinion and not change it easily. After all, in the eyes of engineering students, actors are all people with questionable minds, prone to acting erratically.

Although he had already realized that Zhang Yuan seemed to be quite different from the "actor" in his mind.

He hung up the phone and went about his own business.

The next day, someone called him again.

It is the marketing department of Vancl.

They expressed interest in cooperation.

Zhang Yuan never expected such an unexpected gain!
"Jun'er is also a shareholder and director of Vancl."

"It seems this is a case of giving a peach in return for receiving a precious jade."

Whether it's a "comparative exchange" and a desire to maintain a positive attitude towards Duowan's affairs, or whether one genuinely believes they have high promotional value, it's a good thing.

Like Mercedes-Benz, they have mutually benefited each other.

The Vancl style became popular for a long time after it appeared.

Zhang Yuan also discussed with Vancl whether they could bring more people.

Baoqiang, Huang Bo, Zhang Yi, Yawen, and others like that...

He sounded a little guilty when he said that.

After all, Brother Bo has a "previous record" with clothing brands, and he almost brought down Baleno.

However, times have changed, and these individuals now hold official positions.

Baoqiang is the Golden Horse Award for Best New Performer.

Bo Ge is a Golden Horse Award-winning actor.

Although Zhang Yi and Ya Wen did not win any awards, they received a number of nominations and are considered familiar faces.

The other party hesitated.

Zhang Yuan no longer needed to contact the other party's boss or dawdle, so he simply let Yang Siwei handle the affairs of his artists and liaise with the other party.

After bringing the fat woman over, he gave her a heads-up, telling her not to forget the Prince of Taiwan.

I reckon they won't use Chen Chuhe, but I still have to try.

As for why female celebrities weren't mentioned...

Because Vancl is a very "straight male" brand.

It's not that we don't sell women's clothing and women's products at all, it's just that we have fewer female customers.

Similar to JD.com's style.

Therefore, the demand for female spokespeople is not that great.

Moreover, it seems that the other party is already negotiating a contract with Wang Luo alone.

This person is Chang Jihong, and so is Sun Li.

He's been eyeing Sun Li lately, but he wants to keep a low profile.

Don't steal the artists' jobs; it would alert them.

Don't be fooled by Wang Luo's resemblance to Ge You.

She's quite popular right now. Her role as Mi Lai in "Struggle" made her a star, and last year she was named one of the new "Four Little Actresses" along with Yang Mi, Huang Shengyi, and Xi Qian.

However, things didn't go very well afterward because this person is known for not having very high emotional intelligence.

Some people think they are "straightforward," but in reality, they have low emotional intelligence or even low IQ.

Sisi speaks frankly, but her mother teaches her all the time that she is very good at reading people and never fails to be polite.

After finally finishing up, I bought some spicy duck necks at home that evening and paired them with an ice-cold beer.

Eat while watching TV.

"Ha ha……"

Zhang Yuan looked at the television with a cold smile.

Actors are heartless...

Zhang Yuan took a vicious bite of the duck neck.

Seeing that face ruined his appetite. Zhang Yuan's hands were dirty from eating duck necks, so he could only use his elbow to press the remote control to change channels.

I originally just wanted to watch Hunan TV for some lighthearted fun, something mindless entertainment.

Unexpectedly, I accidentally pressed the wrong button and ended up being switched to the Beijing TV channel.

Then, he saw himself... standing with his teacher.

"Some celebrities are using this for publicity."

"Completely shameless."

"Will such an image and behavior affect public thinking, especially having a negative impact on young people...?"

Zhang Yuan: …

Did I kick down your door in the middle of the night, or did I dig up your ancestral graves?

I haven't slept with any women I shouldn't have recently...

This is somewhat targeted.

Besides, this was arranged by Sina, what does it have to do with me!

Zhang Yuan was furious.

I was originally enjoying some "worldly life" – gnawing on duck necks and drinking beer.

But the more I watch TV, the angrier I get.

He chugged down the beer and then turned off the TV.

I was drinking alone when my cell phone rang loudly.

"Hey!"

He answered the call angrily.

"Ah..." Zeng Jia on the other end of the phone was startled.

"What is it?" He adjusted his tone and spoke again.

"Well... I used my connections to ask around."

"We found someone within the company, someone who is considered a mid-level manager."

"I've gotten some inside information."

"Oh?" I was just angry about this when this report came.

Zeng Jia explained it in detail, and after listening, Zhang Yuan's expression became very tense.

I put down my phone, washed my hands, and then wiped my phone.

Only then did they dial one number.

After several rings, the other end answered.

"Junior brother, what brings you here?"

A chubby little black man with a heart on his head replied with a smile.

"Teacher Guo," Zhang Yuan said, his chest heaving, "you've really put me in a terrible situation!" (End of Chapter)
